writings & thought Leadership
Real Insight. Honest reflection. Sometimes strategic. Sometimes personal. Always real.
I write to make sense of what I see, what I’ve lived, and what I believe we need to say out loud.
Some of it’s about housing, systems, and strategy. Some of it’s about healing, leadership, and identity.
Some of it’s just… what I wish someone had told me sooner.
If you’re here to get clearer, go deeper, or just feel a little less alone in how you think – you’re in the right place.
Start With These
These three short pieces lay out the basics – what drives me, how I think, and what I had to shift to build something that works. If you’re just getting familiar with my work, start here.
My Philosophy
An overview of the principles and patterns I use to make decisions, solve problems, and build things that last. Read this to get a sense of how I approach just about everything.
Why I do this work
A quick explanation of what led me to create the kind of program I couldn’t find anywhere else - and why I’ve stuck with it. A good starting point if you’re wondering what keeps me in this work.
What I Had to Unlearn to Build What Works
Some of the early assumptions I had to let go of in order to build something that actually helps people move forward. This one’s about what didn’t work - and what I did instead.
What I Can Build For You
Trying to reframe a problem, call people in, or lead through clarity. If you’ve got something real to say, but you need help shaping it, sharpening it, or getting it out, this is what I can build with you.
Essays & Op-eds
Clear, persuasive writing that makes your point impossible to ignore. Whether you're challenging the status quo or cutting through public confusion, I help you say it straight - with just the right edge.
Strategic series (Substack, Medium, etc.)
Not just content - a body of work that builds trust, teaches, and shifts culture over time. I help you plan, structure, and execute series that move people from “I’ve heard of you” to “I trust you.”
Personal narrative alignment + writing strategy
You’ve got the passion. I’ve got the pen. I write in your voice to help your mission land - with funders, with media, with the public. No fluff, no filler - just powerful language that actually works.
Ghostwriting for movements and missions
For leaders, founders, and doers who feel stuck or misrepresented. Together, we clarify what you really want to say and why it matters - then build a writing strategy that finally aligns your story with your impact.

Topics I Write About Often

- Nonprofit systems and the people inside them
- Leadership with integrity, not performance
- Emotional healing, especially for high-functioning women
- Relationships, personal power, and navigating truth
- What happens when we stop doing things the way we've always done them
“Not everything here will sound like a “thought leadership” piece. Some posts are messy. Some are funny. Some are sharp. That’s intentional. I’m not here to market myself – I’m here to say something worth saying.”
Join My Substack
Want the real stuff in your inbox? I don’t send emails just to send them. When I write, it’s worth reading.
I use Substack to share new articles, tools, and insights – sometimes about systems, sometimes about leadership, sometimes about life. If you’re into truth over trends and substance over spin, you’ll want in.
No spam. No pressure. Just smart, honest writing you can actually use.
