I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, sold almost everything I owned, and moved into a van with my cat Moonlight to start actually living my life.
True crime. Cultural commentary. Van life. And the very strange business of rebuilding a life from scratch.
I’m unmarried. I don’t have children. I’m no-contact with my biological family. I’ve built my life outside a lot of the traditional boxes — and I’m increasingly interested in the conversations we have about what a successful life is actually supposed to look like.
Underneath everything is Ever Rising Hope:
the belief that your circumstances do not get the final word on what you do with your life.
Live Today. Keep Rising.
I love you, and I’m glad you’re here. 🤍
