The writers behind this newsletter.
I write about motherhood, thinking alongside my five children as we learn to show up with a good heart. I believe small acts of kindness can change the world. Here, we slow down, think together, and build bridges.
I'm a sober coach, 6+ years free from alcohol. Come and explore with me how to live a joyful sober life with presence and compassion.
Retired perpetual adolescent still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Just celebrated forty-two years of marriage with the love of my life. Love building and playing electric guitars, collecting and reading vintage pulp fiction.
Everything your mother never taught you, without the guilt. Body-led choices, steady money, clear boundaries. Practical rituals. No performance.
I’m a husband, father, psychologist, reluctant expert in muscular dystrophy, and recovering neurotic. I write about disability, shame, anxiety, and the ongoing process of becoming more at home in a life and body I didn’t choose.
Published Poet, Caregiver, Bray Bray’s Dad, Xennial, Music Fan, Pickleballer, Substack Community-Builder… Open to collaborating!
