The writers behind this newsletter.
Mid-life thriver, pebble-finder, bon vivant. I write The Pebble in Your Shoe—turning irritations into insight (with humor). Retreat first dibs: https://forms.gle/FwMVip18MkS4vn6i8
Hi, I'm Mary! (creator of @tipsfromdeadpeople on social media) I like obituaries and salty snacks, even better as a combo. Subscribe for stories and lifehacks and dead people.
I lost half my size—now I’m trying to figure out what to wear. Together let's discover how to express who we are through style. (I'm still figuring this out!) Previously: Health magazine diet editor, Time Inc cookbook editor.
Power is a trust—and I write about what happens when it’s betrayed, whether by a parent, a teacher, a system, or a president.
Kacie Gikonyo, RN | Death Doula | Writer | Disruptor of Death Denial I’m a former nurse turned full-time death doula, educator, and founder of Death Doula School. Come for the real talk. Stay for the education, humor, stories, and truth bombs.
