Dear friend,

Pull up a chair — the fire’s burning.

If we were sitting around a fire, I’d tell you this:

Everything I’ve built started with words on a page that I was once too afraid to say out loud.

For years, I hid behind roles, titles, and expectations. I carried responsibility — mine and everyone else’s — because I didn’t know another way. I let my inner critic run the show. I found the crawlspace of rock bottom, climbed out, and got shoved back down more than once.

Then, on October 3, 2021, I stood on a TEDx stage and spoke about authenticity, disruption, and the fire we all carry inside. I thought I was giving a talk for others, but really it was a love note to my future self.

The fire inside me burned through everything that wasn’t mine to carry. It left me face-to-face with who I really am — and that changed how I live, write, and love.

Now, my work is this: creating spaces where you can write your way through. Not by fixing yourself, but by finding what’s already burning inside.

I lead virtual writing circles using the Gateless Method — for helpers, healers, and caregivers:
for first responders, healthcare workers, and anyone carrying an impossibly heavy invisible load.

We gather. We write. We witness.

The circle holds what needs to be held — and releases everything else.

Because I know what it means to walk through fire and come out different — stronger, truer, more you.

So if you’re curious about how science-backed writing can help release what’s stored in your body, give your inner critic a timeout, and reconnect you to your own fire — pull up a chair.

You belong here. 🔥
