Dear First name / Reader
I’m writing this week with something a little different and something I’ve been wanting to say for a while now.
I love sharing my book releases and free reads with you, but more and more, I’ve been craving something a little deeper. A little more… real. I’ve realized I want to connect with you not just as readers, but as fellow humans, creatives, and curious souls wandering through life.
So, starting now, I’m going to be adding more personal updates into these newsletters: the good, the weird, the beautiful, and the behind-the-scenes. I will also be be sending out these emails every week and if you miss one, they will be available on my website.
And what better way to start than with some truly life-changing news?
I’m pregnant! 💕
14 weeks in, and let me tell you, this ride has not been easy. For most of the last ten weeks, I’ve been so sick I could barely get out of bed. Morning sickness? More like all day, everyday nausea apocalypse. But I’m happy to say that I’m finally starting to feel more like myself again. Thanks to a new (and slightly complicated) drug combo, the fog has lifted enough that I can write to you today with something other than crackers on my mind.
Honestly, there were moments when I wasn’t sure when (or if) I’d feel okay again. And even though I’m still taking it slow, I’m filled with a quiet kind of hope that things are turning around. 🕊️
This pregnancy is a second for me—and it’s something I’m sure I’ll be writing more about in the weeks to come, if you’re interested in hearing about it.
That’s part of this shift: I want to bring you along for the ride that is my life. Not just the book releases, but the whole behind-the-scenes journey: the messy drafts, the personal wins, the days when everything feels impossible and the ones when I fall back in love with life and writing all over again.
So, yeah… life has been A Lot lately. But it’s also been full of so much hope. And I want to start sharing more of that here, too.
This brings me to a question for you.
I want to make this newsletter something YOU look forward to. So I’d love to know what kinds of content you’d enjoy most. I’ve put together a quick little poll (literally one click!), and your input would mean the world to me:
