The Heroine's Journey Goes Down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today in the group chat from The River, one of the women started talking about the heroine’s journey, and it landed so deeply in my body. I had forgotten that narrative, and it felt so good to be reminded of the difference between the feminine and the masculine, the hero’s journey versus the heroine’s.Most of us know the hero’s journey, even if we’ve never heard it named. Joseph Campbell mapped it out, and it’s basically every movie we grew up on. The hero leaves home, goes out into the world, f
I Am Not Disappearing. I Am Adapting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How I move through this space has had to change.I am having to dictate what I want to write through AI right now, which is not my preference. My vision is so blurry that reading back what I wrote is a real strain on my eyes. So it takes in my words, and I keep asking it not to turn them into AI. That is the form I am using to capture what I want to say. It is hard, because I love writing. And I am going to have to navigate this a little differently now.Love's Invitation is a reader-supported p
The teachers I learn from (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I share myself with my clients. On purpose. It’s not centered on me, not even a little, but I let myself be seen in the work, because I want it to be really human.

Read excerpt
Last week I went back to the eye doctor.The newest glasses I got were giving me migraines. I could see clearly out of them, but I couldn’t wear them without my head splitting open. And I can’t really see out of the older pair either. I’d only had those a month before I went in for the new prescription.The doctor told me my brain can’t keep up with how fast my eyes are changing. One eye got four times worse in a single month. So we tried making the new lenses twice as weak. Even that gave me a ho
He told people I was incapable of empathy. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When my husband left me in 2013, he told people I was incapable of empathy.It gutted me. There was a part of me that didn’t believe it was true. And there was another part, one that already believed something was wrong with me, that I wasn’t capable of love, of loving or being loved… And that part heard him and thought, well, maybe that is true, because I did feel so numb.And now, ironically enough, I can empathize with why he felt that way. At that point I was in bed with a wire in my spinal co
