The Writer’s Journey isn’t just about putting words on a page—it’s about turning pain into purpose, confusion into clarity, and solitude into connection. For me, writing has always been healing—diary entries, poems, journalling, song-writing and lyrics, blog posts, short stories and now, a novel. Every time we share a piece of our truth, we build a bridge for someone who thought they were alone in theirs. This is a collection of all of my posts about writing—my process, the ways in which I've shared, the emotional journeys and storms I've weathered to get there and the trauma that led me to write in the first place. I hope by sharing some of my most vulnerable moments, you may not feel as alone in yours. 🤍

Everything She Never Had is a work of fiction. Chapters of this novel were originally released for free, here—once a week for six months—and now are only available to paying subscribers. 💌 Thank you so much for your support! I hope you enjoy my book!
