The unscheduled, scheduled post.

I woke up this morning to a notification that someone had liked my substack post (thanks Mel). The thing was I hadn't actually written a substack post. I had put a placeholder in when I created my page about a month ago. I had, in an attempt to threaten myself with announcing it to the world, shared that I intended to create a substack, and I even circled in red "coming soon." Since then I have done exactly nothing except think A LOT about how I don't know what to write. The spooky thing is, Happy Halloween by the way, I just finished a writer's retreat yesterday. So on today's episode I talk a little bit about naming ourselves, showing up in spaces that we feel like we don't belong and finding out that we do. And realizing that the reason that you think you're going is never the reason you'll be happy you went. The surprises are always better than what we imagine we want to happen. Except for the surprises that wake you up at 4:00 a.m. with sweaty hands, trying to figure out how to delete a two sentence substack post. Happy Monday friends. Lots of love.
