Out of The Dark & Into the Light

How to get unstuck when you’re violently stuck

And yes, if I could leave this country, I would.

Let me be your messy blueprint.

Sometimes, it’s okay to give up.

Maybe I shouldn’t have been a stubborn woman, and you, a stubborn man.

We need to show up for the ones we love when they’re having a hard time showing up for themselves. We need to say, I’m here for you.

Sometimes, getting out of bed is a victory. We endure our day even in the moments when daylight feels like an assault.

Tell me more about how you would handle my trauma.

I’m two years clean and my mental health & business are thriving.

Your experience with mental illness does not a professional make

I used to be a woman who did things. I was a doer, a maker, a builder, and then I was a woman who stared at a wall. What happened?

I hate the word “trainwreck”. People take comfort in their own moral compass, and in doing so find themselves passing judgment. They think…

Being still means you’re still in the game.

Because good girls don’t just keep their legs crossed, they don’t go around killing people.

We’re choking on coins, capitalism, and conspicuous consumption.

What a long, strange trip it’s been! Celebrating my readers & my favorite stories from the years.

After a week of self-quarantine, the stay-at-home mandate in California is official, my power goes out tomorrow, and I’m anxious.

At least, I hope.

I miss my books.
