When the Flames Go Up

A weekly newsletter to help you edit your life, make room for the things you care about, and maybe even tackle adulting with a little joy. Written by a former music and brain scientist turned award-winning author, podcaster, and creative director.

Culture, media, politics and parenting. Oh, did someone say pick a lane? Adorable.

Welcome to my midlife metamorphosis. I share personal narratives about my mental health journey, trauma work, and life as a 40-something mom-of-4 going through a divorce (and dating adventures!).

An invitation to compare notes on life beyond the empty nest. By the author of PARENT HACKS.

Nothing but history's most interesting letters.

It's mostly fun, until it throws you.
