The Space Between
The Space Between is a reflective newsletter published every Saturday. We explore the in-between seasons of life — where personal experience meets the larger human story. Through grounded insight on grief, growth, culture, and change, it creates space to pause, feel honestly, and let insight soften into clarity.
I Stopped Doing This for a Week
Read on my website | Read Time: 3 minutes Hello, Reader Last week my mind felt crowded. Loud. Urgent. Constantly reacting. Headlines. Commentary. Opinions. Predictions. It felt like there was always something I needed to process, respond to, or worry about. And I noticed something. I wasn’t just informed. I was flooded. My nervous system was on overload, and I couldn’t stop being angry. At everything. So, this week, I tried something simple. I reduced my input. I stopped watching constant...
When Reality Feels Unstable
Read on my website | Read Time: 3 - 5 minutes Hello, For a while now — and if I’m honest, maybe for years — I’ve had this quiet fear that reality itself was dissolving. Not just politics.Not just culture. But reality. Truth. I would look at the world and see people living in completely different versions of truth. Different beliefs. Different moral codes. Different interpretations of the same events. And I started to wonder… If everyone has their own reality, does truth even mean anything...
Between What Was and What’s Next
Read on my website | Read Time: 3 minutes Hello, There are moments in life when something shifts beneath your feet. Not gently.Not poetically. Not wrapped in a motivational quote. Just… gone. A structure you’ve been standing on disappears. And suddenly you’re standing in the space between what was and what’s next. I found myself in one of those spaces this week. It’s strange how quickly something familiar can dissolve. Even when part of you sensed it wasn’t sustainable. Even when you knew you...
What Winter Is Asking of Us
Read on my website | Read Time: 3 minutes Hello, The world feels loud right now. Heavy. Relentless. Charged. There are real issues unfolding. Real tension. Real injustice. Real fear. I’m not blind to that. I’m not pretending everything is fine. It isn’t. But I’ve noticed something in myself. Constant exposure is not the same as effective action. Scrolling. Watching. Reacting. Consuming commentary for hours a day. It hasn’t made me clearer. It hasn’t made me stronger. It hasn’t made me more...
We Are Not Each Other’s Enemy
Read on my website | Read Time: 2 - 4 minutes Hello, There is something that has been sitting heavy in me this week. The cruelty. The way people talk about each other.The ease with which we write whole groups of humans off.The smugness. The dehumanizing. The cheering when someone “loses.” And I keep thinking… When did we decide this was normal? Because what I’m seeing isn’t just disagreement.It’s division being fed. Left.Right.Red.Blue. As if those labels are the deepest truth about who we...
The First Time I Found My Voice | The Space Between
Hello, Reader Have you ever felt like you needed to voice your opinion — but felt censored, or afraid you would be silenced if you did? Do you wish you could have a more active role in politics, to exercise your right to vote and have it actually mean something? Do you ever feel despair and think… what does it even matter anyway? I’ve always wanted to live in a country where “We the People” actually had a say in who got elected and what policies shaped the country I lived in. But to be...
