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.
Maybe nothing is wrong with you.
Hello, Reader What if the thing you’ve been trying to fix… isn’t actually broken? I had a thought come up about this — especially around how we’re always trying to push ourselves to be consistent, productive, “on.” And how exhausting that actually feels. It made me think about things like human design — the idea that we all have different ways of moving through energy… different rhythms… different ways our bodies naturally want to work. And yet, most of us are trying to override that. We push...
What if you’re not actually confused?
Hello, Reader I realized something the other day…and honestly, I caught myself doing it again. We say we’re confused.We say we don’t know what to do.We sit in this space of “I just need more time to think.” But I don’t think we’re actually confused. I think a lot of the time… we already know. We just don’t like the answer. Because confusion is a really comfortable place to be. When you’re “confused,” you don’t have to decide.You don’t have to change anything.You don’t have to deal with what...
Too much input. Not enough space.
Hello, Reader There’s a kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from doing too much…but from thinking too much. Lately, my mind has just been saying:rest… rest… rest. And not the kind of rest where you scroll or distract yourself.The kind where you almost don’t want to take in one more piece of information.No more headlines. No more opinions. No more noise. Just… space. Because if I’m honest, the world feels loud right now.There’s an endless influx of information—constant updates, constant...
The in-between space no one talks about
Hello, Reader It might be spring on the calendar, and some days are getting warmer…but where I live, we could get a third winter any time before June. So, we’re in that strange in-between—not quite winter, not quite spring. And if I’m being honest…I’ve been living in an in-between space for over a year now.And I’m tired. My husband passed away in early 2025, and I gave myself the time and space to move through all the firsts without him. I was patient with it. I allowed it. But now, over a...
Why does this still hurt?
Read on my website | Read Time: 2-3 minutes Hello, Reader Lately I’ve been reading about fourth-wave feminism… and I hit this moment where I didn’t just think about it —I felt it. Not stronger.Not louder.But heavier. Almost like this quiet exhaustion underneath it. That feeling of:“How is this STILL happening?” And I realized something that surprised me. The difference between third-wave and fourth-wave feminism isn’t just political.It isn’t even generational. It’s emotional. Third-wave...
Everything Looked Better… But Was It?
Read on my website | Read Time: 2 minutes Hello, Reader There’s something I’ve been sitting with lately. This quiet, almost uncomfortable question: What happens when the world tells you things are better… but your life doesn’t feel better? I’ve been deep in the energy of third-wave feminism recently—not just from a historical lens, but from a human one. If you want to familiarize yourself on what the 3rd Wave issues were all about, go ahead and watch my video below. And the more I sit with...
Why winning the vote wasn’t enough
Read on my website | Read Time: 2 minutes Hello, Reader Winning the vote was a milestone, but it didn’t magically change the daily lives of millions of women. The law said one thing — culture, expectations, and assumptions said another. And that tension is exactly what sparked Second Wave Feminism. In the 1960s, women were still expected to leave work once they married, even if they loved their jobs. They were told their primary purpose was at home, raising children, and keeping the house in...
I Had to Revisit This
Read on my website | Read Time: 2 - 3 minutes What Feminism Originally Meant Hello, Reader I’ve been revisiting the First Wave of feminism this week. Not to argue.Not to stir anything up.But to understand. With March being International Women’s Month, it felt like the right time to revisit where this all began. Because I keep hearing the same thing — from women especially. “Feminism went too far.”“We don’t need it anymore.”“It created more problems than it solved.” And I found myself...
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...
