Give Yourself the Gift of Being Seen

If you’re like me, standing in the truth of who you are and what you believe in feels like both the most terrifying thing that you can do and the most important.

You’re an introvert. You overthink things. Its excruciating to take center stage. Voicing your opinion feels like a huge risk because, you know… what if you offend someone? What if you don’t know enough and someone calls you out on it?

And yet, I bet you also know, deep in your heart, that showing up and using your voice MATTERS. That playing small will definitely not serve the world you want to be a part of building. That you have this one exquisite life to feel things, to love fully, and to make a difference.

Being Seen is a newsletter designed to inspire you and to be a companion to you as you dare to stand in the truth of who you are and what you care about.

I’m a feminist sex therapist, so you can rest assured that issues related to sexuality, social justice, patriarchy, consent, desire, pleasure, and relationships will be a part of what I write about.

Each week, I’ll write you letters that come from my own misadventures and inspirations in the art of showing up and being seen, and I’ll recommend the books that are helping me along the way. I’ll give you writing prompts and practices to guide your own journey, and I’ll welcome your comments about how things are going.

Together, lets build a community of introverted, overthinking, feminists who are choosing not to let our fears get in the way of our deep love. Thanks for being here!

I'm a memoirist, a sex therapist, and an introvert who tends to overthink things. I'm considering starting a substack of my own soon.
