hey, i’m glad you’re here.
This is a collection of essays about motherhood, faith, abuse, identity, grief, coming out, and the slow, beautiful process of becoming yourself.
I don’t have all the answers.
Just my own stories.
Maybe you’ll find pieces of your own here too.

About Me
I’m a mom, a writer, and someone who started over at 35.
After leaving an abusive marriage and coming out later in life, I realized my story wasn’t entirely about either of those things. It was about learning to hear my own voice after years of drowning it out.
If anything here helps you hear yours, I’m glad you found your way here.
