Reclamation

I believe the stories we minimize are often the ones that matter most.

Each week, I write about story, identity, reinvention, and how to get noticed without losing your dignity.

You'll find personal stories, book recommendations, journal prompts, and occasional reflections on visibility, publishing, and the ways writing can help us understand ourselves.

I started writing personal essays because I wanted to make sense of my own experiences.

What surprised me was how often writing changed my understanding of those experiences altogether.

And that's what Reclamation is really about.

Paying closer attention to our lives.

Questioning the stories we've inherited.

Finding meaning in experiences we've overlooked.

And getting noticed without being a jerk.

I'd love for you to join us.
