Welcome to the Reading Room
The Reading Room is a space for reflective storytelling —
essays about grief, resilience, burnout, boundaries, identity, and healing.
Some reflections are inspired by my own lived experience,
written in a way that others can see themselves inside the themes.
Others are inspired by public stories we’ve seen unfold in the world —
approached gently, with empathy and respect.
These pieces are not written to expose, analyze, or sensationalize…
but to explore the feelings so many of us carry quietly.
Essays drawn from lived experience —
written in a way that protects the details,
while honoring the feelings many of us share.
Reflections From The Inside
Reflections on public stories we’ve witnessed —
written with empathy and distance,
focusing not on the person,
but on the themes their journey brings forward.
