Holding Both — The inner work of collapse and regeneration.

This is a space for the in-between. For those of us who find ourselves holding both: grief and awe, collapse and becoming, motherhood and undoing, hope and rage.

I write at the threshold, where psychology brushes up against poetry, where climate truth meets inner upheaval, where spirituality is composted and re-rooted. I draw from my doctoral work in psychology (focusing on eco-anxiety and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), and from the raw, personal experience of being a mother, a thinker, and a witness to unraveling.

This space is an ongoing reckoning, part journal, part invocation. I’m not here to simplify what’s complex or sand down the edges. I want to stay with the ache, the beauty, the questions with no clear answer.

You’ll find:

• Essays that dig into climate distress, moral injury, and the psychological weight of collapse

• Poetic fragments + field notes on motherhood, liminality, and the sacred ordinary

• Grounded practices rooted in ACT and radical presence

• Letters that act as rituals, disruptions, or small acts of resistance

• Occasionally, interviews or guest voices, fellow dwellers in the in-between

I write for those still paying attention when everything begs you to shut down. For those reimagining how to mother, mourn, and make meaning while still reaching for joy, connection, and aliveness.

If you're trying to name what trembles under the surface, and need space to feel it without fixing it, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here. Let’s hold both, together.

About AI Use

I occasionally use AI tools to support my creative process — for brainstorming, structuring, and light editing. I always cross-check factual claims and treat the tool as a sounding board, not a source of truth. All original ideas, creative writing, and intellectual property are my own.
