writing

I have spent the past 17 years devoted to a public writing and storytelling practice. I write about things like: sobriety, money, non-traditional life choices, intentional relationships, setting right-fit goals, long-distance hiking, developing self-compassion, daily rituals, and so much more.

My weekly-ish writing can be found in a new project called Now What? — a newsletter for folks who crave self-exploration and collective experimentation on who/how we want to be in a collapsing world.

I am also the author of two adventure memoirs: How To Be Alone: an 800-mile hike on the Arizona Trail and What We Owe To Ourselves: a 500-mile hike on the Colorado Trail

anti-capitalism

I call bullshit on the inherent exploitations and inequalities of capitalism. I do not believe our ability to access what we need in order to survive should be dependent on compulsory wage labor. Capitalism is exhausting; it’s racist, classist, and ableist, not to mention the total impossibility of sustaining exponential profit growth on a planet of finite resources.

To me, anticapitalism means interdependence over individualism, solidarity over competition, people over profit, well-being over productivity, and redistribution over hoarding, to name a few. For more on how this shows up in my tiny business right now, go here.

digital space making

I’m a workshop facilitator who loves creating spaces that are fun, gentle, honest, and supportive. Within these groups and gatherings I’ve helped hundreds of people build more honest relationships with themselves, ones that are filled with kindness, curiosity, experimentation, forgiveness, and delight.

This part of my business is closed at the moment, as I’m taking a grown-up gap year/sabbatical, but my beloved digital coworking group, Get Shit Done Club, returns in late January 2026.

workbooks for the people

I’ve created a collection of workbooks for folks like me who love gentle reflection & self-exploration. I offer all of these workbooks to you in line with the gift economy, which means that there is no cost at all for you to download them. Enjoy!

Offline you can find me learning how to grow food in my little garden, hiking (very) long distances through the woods, mountains, and deserts, making homemade pasta, taking care of two young dogs and 11 bossy chickens, studying herbalism, and trying to talk myself into taking more cold showers.

I’m a budding witch, a white queer person (they/she), a Gemini sun, Virgo rising, and Taurus moon. I’m a Sacral Generator (who has no idea what that really means), a spreadsheet nerd, and my biggest first world problem is that there will always be more books on my shelf than time to read them. Thanks so much for being here with me!
