I’m thrilled to host my first (and probably last) AMA of the year. I was doing this seasonally last year and received so many thoughtful questions that inspired me to go deeper into things that I needed to understand about myself and life and writing but had not yet given enough attention (like this piece about relationship deal-breakers and this two-part piece on how to start writing) and I’m so excited to get back to it.
You can ask me about all the things that are uncomfortable to talk about.
Have a relationship question like how not to lose your relationship to parenthood or how to work with your partner or how to ask for what you need? I’m ready to dive in.
Need some writing advice or have a specific question related to writing a memoir or finding the time for art in motherhood? Yes, please send me all of your writing questions!
Have questions surrounding motherhood like how the hell do we even do this? I’ll give you my best shot.
Want me to speak more about my childhood trauma around being the child of two addicts? This is one of my favorite things to write about so please, don’t hold back. I’m also happy to dive into my experience around birth trauma as this is something that I’m still working through.
Want to dive into the mind-fuck that is identity? I’m here for it.
Or maybe you want to keep it light and explore what it looks like as I try to live a meaningful life? I’m here for all of it.
Nothing is off-limits. It’s the seemingly dark places that I’ve been too afraid to explore that I often find the most healing, the most light. So, ask away. Don’t hold back. I’m here to tell you the truth.
Please submit questions in the comments and I’ll respond to some in the comments and some in future posts if I feel like they need a more dedicated deep dive.
To kick things off, I have a question for you:
When you’re feeling disconnected what is one ritual that brings you back to yourself?
I look forward to hearing your answers and I am grateful that you’re here. I’ve created this Substack in hopes that it will be much more than a newsletter—that it will be a community. Thank you for sharing a piece of your story with me.
