Welcome — I’m Helen Roy.

I’m a mother of many with a background in political philosophy and an unkillable creative streak.

This publication is where I bring those worlds together: the daily work of motherhood with broader questions of belief, technology, aesthetics, and civics.

I write to help myself and my readers develop a life of the mind while remaining happily tethered to the real — our homes, our families, our bodies, and our communities.


✨ What You’ll Get

  • Monday advice column (CALL YOUR MOM)

  • Wednesday Cultural Reflection (Paid Subscribers Only)

  • Friday livestream

  • A community of women who like to read and think and argue and laugh


💡 Why Subscribe?

  • I offer a perspective that honors faith, motherhood, and embodied life without being naïve about politics or culture.

  • I offer both practical tools for living well and deep dives. It’s not either/or here.

  • For those who are tired of outrage cycles, I try to find the nuance.
