Doing the Artist’s Way Even a Little (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first time I ever attempted Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, I was living in a carefully curated torture chamber of my own making. I was at the tail end of a decade-long depression — fueled by alcohol and insecurity — seeking approval from people who weren’t even worth of a greeting from me. What people saw: From the outside, I was newly sober from alcohol, engaged, and just took a 2-week long trip to Europe to celebrate my 30th birthday. I was a freelance writer, so I was untethered by nor
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I could go down a rabbit hole on how this all began, but I don’t have time for psychoanalyzing myself. I know I am deeply fucked up. I don’t need to spend several hundred dollars a month on a stranger to know that. In fact, I had a therapist tell me how self-aware I was once — it wasn’t comforting whatsoever.

Read excerpt

Stop Apologizing for Feminism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You should never feel like you need to JUSTIFY being a feminist.If someone has questions because there are nuances to things and over time some labels take on a new kind of life and there might be new things to understand — that’s fine. HOWEVER…The mere fact that I ever felt the need to say, “I’m not some crazy feminist” in my 20s is something I often cringe to myself about now. First of all, there’s a good chance I was in a relationship with some misogynistic piece of shit during those times, s
You're Not Creatively Blocked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll just get right to the point. If you’re feeling stuck, it’s probably because you’re avoiding something. The familiar might feel comfortable but that doesn’t mean its good for us. Whether its a job, relationship, or something about your environment, most of the time when we put off creative work its because we’re avoiding what it might bring out of us. Putting off our growth potential for something that we might already know isn’t working for us. It also might not be something that feels tang
