Welcome to My Musings
This is where I pour my thoughts onto the page—unedited, honest, and sometimes laced with a little dark humor. From deep dives into trauma healing and resilience to the chaotic realities of writing a memoir, this space is a reflection of my journey.
Expect musings on survival, self-discovery, and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding a life after trauma. Some days, I might share reflections on healing. Other days, you might find me ranting about the publishing world or chasing down obscure historical facts that probably won’t make it into a book—but absolutely should.
Whatever brought you here, I hope you find something that resonates. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger), and let’s navigate this wild journey together.
