There’s Nothing Wrong With You (And There Never Was)
How to recover, find your badass, kick ass and align with your true self.
What you get:
My experience, strength, and hope, as well as the HOW of recovery in specific, concrete actions, because recovering is lifelong, and this journey is a wild adventure that keeps on giving. Minimum two posts a month.
When I say I’ll share the how of recovery, I don’t mean recovery from one specific thing because I want to focus instead on the childhood and societal conditioning that leads to dis-ease and illness of all kinds and creates the need for recovery to begin with—monthly Q&A.
Instead of giving you a box or a model to adapt to, you’re the template. You will be empowered here to find what’s true for you, recognize what’s not, and stand in the light of your soul - yours and nobody else’s.
Passion and purpose. A major perk of recovery is finding your passion and purpose, which happens when we align with our true selves. Mine is writing.
Your support matters
…whether you’re simply reading what I offer (because what I write is not complete until it finds its reader) or going above and beyond with a paid subscription, sharing, or commenting.
Give it away to keep it
…is my guiding light. Therefore, becoming a paid subscriber is a way to join me in freely giving what you’ve received. We pass it forward.
Be part of.
I don’t know how this story’s supposed to go
I don’t know a lot of things that other people know
But it ain’t about the money, ain’t about who’s right or wrong
We’re all just walking each other home. ~ Mary Gauthier

Trust Yourself and You Will Know How to Live." It touches me deeply in ways I am sure you already know—given the powerful love injected with each word. I'm in awe of her wisdom and realness.”
