Things on my mind - September 2026. Underneath all these little reminders is one much simpler goal: Finish what I start. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what comes next-what I should be doing, where I should be going, whether I'm behind, whether I'm making the right choice

Something wicked is waiting in the marsh. I'm ridiculously excited to finally share that I have a story in this anthology. For this one, I went back to a tale I've always found deliciously dark: Bluebeard-and dragged it deep into the Southern Gothic bayou. My retelling, The Marsh W

I'm seeing alignment in every aspect of my life, especially in the stories I'm writing. I'm working on several projects at the moment, and all of them feature women who are reclaiming their power. Women who set boundaries. Who walk away from what diminishes them. Who choose devotion

Ever since I started taking care of my skin, people have been stopping me to say I’m glowing. But I didn’t get glowing skin from a miracle serum. I got it from choosing myself. From ending the long, exhausting era of people-pleasing. From deciding that my mornings belong to me. Quiet, inte

Sunlight, lace, and a woman who knows exactly who she is becoming. How are you glowing up lately? #glowup
