Subscribe to My Newsletter

A community for creative caregivers and messy humans

I’m so excited to share my Substack newsletter where I dive deeper into the themes that matter most to me. (If you’d like to hear the origin story about why I started Heartbeats and chose this name, check out my very first podcast episode, here)!

As a subscriber you’ll receive:

  • Regular Reflections on motherhood, creativity, and authentic living
  • Excerpts and insights from my debut novel, “The Pattern Shop”
  • Behind-the-scenes content from my self-publishing journey
  • Poetry, social justice musings, and the messy beauty of becoming
  • Opportunities to foster community with other creative caregivers in meaningful ways

Perfect for you if:

  • You’re navigating your own creative journey
  • You love literary fiction and want to see how books come to life
  • You’re interested in authentic stories about finding home and belonging
  • You’re longing for authentic community and real stories that inspire and add to our collective courage

The newsletter is where I share my most personal insights and give you first access to my book content. It’s intimate, honest, and designed to feel like letters between friends.

Why the change?

Don’t worry, TheBarefootBeat will always be my first home on the internet, a cozy place where I began sharing the messy journey of becoming. However, I’m hoping to form a relationship with you that’s more intimate. A space where we can both be vulnerable and real and show up for each other a bit more reciprocally, in conversation and community.

I hope you’ll join me there!
