Honest Words for the Invisible Moments of Becoming

I write to illuminate the spaces that so often go unspoken – especially in matrescence, identity shifts, and the unseen labour of holding it all together. My words offer companionship and insight for women navigating the transformative seasons of life.

The Art of Trying

An intimate account of my journey to conceive

Our challenging journey to fulfil my dream of having a family despite infertility

  • A raw and honest look at the emotional toll of trying to conceive

  • Written for women navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or endometriosis

  • Set against the backdrop of rural life and isolation

ANTHOLOGIA II

A Collection of Stories by Women

An expansive collection from a stellar line-up of twenty-two women, written with verve and clear insight.

Powerful, tender, and intimate, Anthologia II is engaging and emotionally resonant – a celebration of womanhood in all its complexity.

I’m honoured to be featured as one of the contributing authors with Chapter 3: The Stories We Tell – a deeply personal reflection on creativity, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.

Substack: On Being Seen, Again

Weekly-ish reflections on motherhood, rural life, midlife unravelling, writing, healing, entrepreneurship and evolving from feeling invisible to seen again - by yourself first.

  • A blend of personal story, insight, and reflection

  • Written for women in the middle like I am – blending re-parenting ourselves with parenting our precious little humans

  • Grounded in what’s true for me, not perfect or polished

  • Free to subscribe

This is where I write what's real: what I see, feel, and wrestle with in real time. If you're walking your own visibility journey, this might be the touchpoint you’ve been missing.
