Life and Other Stories

Whatever thoughts and feelings escape my dumb brain

A newsletter about facing life's ups and downs, all while being kind to yourself.

Musings from the liminal space between writing and living. Obsessed with the movements of time, process, point of view.

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.

An in-depth look at what it means to live (and live well) with chronic illness. Essays and resources for people living with chronic illness, the people who work with them, and the people who love them.

Writing that boldly disregards normal restraints.

Advice and wisdom from Heather Havrilesky, published since 2012 (formerly at The Awl and NY Magazine). Paid subscribers receive twice weekly posts on how to navigate our broken world with compassion, realism, and an open heart.

People + Bodies is a newsletter about motherhood, love, parenting, family, friendship, music, pain, cooking, baking, books, podcasts, politics, politicians, grief — you get the picture. I touch on life.
