Becoming more than common when life tries to break you down into less.

....feed the part of you that never stopped fighting to be heard.

This isn’t a newsletter. It’s a gut check.

If you’re tired of surface-level healing—of pretending, performing, or trying to outwork the ache—you’re in the right place.

I don’t write for the people who want tips.
I write for the ones who are still bleeding under the bandages.
The ones who look strong but feel like ghosts in their own lives.

My first book, 2Bits, is the story of unraveling—addiction, silence, shame, and the brutal honesty it took to crawl out.
Grit & Gold came after—the pieces I wish I’d had when everything felt too loud, too heavy, too late.

This space holds what didn’t fit in the final edits.
The raw pages. The pieces I almost deleted. The truths that still follow me.

“Regret isn’t always about what we’ve done—it’s about what we failed to do.”
—2Bits

“You don’t have to feel ready. You just have to start.”
—Grit & Gold

This is where we start.
Not with answers—
but with what’s real.
