The Newsletter is a twice-monthly love note exploring how we stay well and sane in the Anthropocene era—when we need community (that’s you and me, baby) more than ever.
Climate anxiety. Parasocial relationships. Dopamine fasts. Grief and loss. Girl dinner. Internet addiction. Skin hunger. Culture wars. Homesteading. How do we keep our heads and hearts steady amidst the chaos?
I write about staying well and sane, as a twelve-year veteran of the wellness blogging world—and offer recommendations for gems to read, watch, and listen to that will nourish mind, body, and heart. Paid subscribers receive a monthly Poetry Fix, with audio!

More about me.
I’m a writer, editor, and author of two books: What’s Your Story? A Journal for Everyday Evolution and Kale & Caramel: Recipes for Body, Heart, and Table. You can read my work in publications like VICE, Hawaiʻi Public Radio, Women’s Review of Books, Bon Appetit, and Spirituality & Health, and read about me in places like Vogue and The New York Times. I helped create the Influencer Inclusion Rider.
I speak, teach, and collaborate with organizations as varied as Goop, Sounds True, Jane Goodall’s Hope Summit, Cameron Diaz’s Tuning In, American Express, Summit Impact, Maui County’s Office of Climate Change, Resiliency, and Sustainability, and Yale University (my alma mater).
I live on a small-scale avocado and pumpkin farm on Maui, where I grew up.
