✨welcome, reader✨

I started writing on Substack to document stories from our everyday—my daughter’s early years and the quiet hilarity of raising a human while still figuring myself out. Some of these posts are wry parenting reflections; others are practical (and hopefully timeless) tips for her to carry into the complex world she’s growing into.

It’s part time capsule and part love letter.

I’ve met too many people moving through life feeling fractured—unsure if they’re lovable, uncertain where they belong. I want something different for her. I want her to grow up whole. Fully known. Fully loved.

Maybe you’re here for the stories. Maybe you’re walking your own path toward wholeness. Either way—welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
