I'm back — and here’s where I’ve been
Why I stepped away. Why I’m returning. And what to expect from this space going forward.
If you’ve been here for a while - thank you.
For your quiet patience. For sticking around through the silence.
For letting this space be what it needed to be: paused.
And if you’re new - welcome.
You’re arriving right as I’m returning. With more clarity. Less urgency. And a steadier sense of what this space is here to hold.
The truth is, I haven’t written since February.
Not because I didn’t have anything to say — but because I was trying to do too much at once, and none of it felt right.
Instagram. Website. Offers. Sessions.
I kept bouncing between platforms and ideas, trying to build everything in tandem — and ending most days feeling like I wasn’t really building anything.
So I made a decision: pick one thing, and do it well.
That one thing was my private practice.
And slowly, it started to work. The structure held. Clients came.
And with that steadiness, the pull to write here returned - not as pressure, but as relief.
Over the last few months, I’ve kept hearing it:
“Your posts helped me name what I didn’t know I was feeling.”
“Do you write somewhere deeper than Instagram?”
Because yes - IG holds a moment. But not the spiral. Not the scan dread. Not the emotional whiplash of being pregnant again after loss.
This space does.
This space is where we unpack what doesn’t fit in a caption:
Why you haven’t told anyone you’re pregnant
Why you feel flat after a “good” scan
Why the idea of taking a bump photo makes your chest tighten
So - I’m back.
Slowly. Gently. Realistically.
One or two posts a month. No schedule pressure. No forced value. Just thoughtful writing for women holding complicated pregnancies - and no less complicated minds.
And if there’s something you want to read about?
You can reply directly to this email. I’d love to hear what’s living in your head lately.
One quiet win before I go:
I was recently featured in Newsweek — in a beautiful article exploring how we hold hope after years of loss. It’s still fresh, but it felt right to share with you: Read the article here
Thank you again for being here.
It means more than you know.
