why subscribe to Unpacking?

Ex-newspaper reporter (I went bankrupt with the industry) and former PR rep in the tech industry. Now I blab about the many realities of motherhood as co-host of Real Mother Fuckers podcast. I write Unpacking, a weekly newsletter on the human experience on mid-life (wtf are all the 40-year-olds doing?!), mothering little ones + teens, creative work and career, mental health, and mindful (but not in the bullshit way) living.

In this newsletter, I have covered bed rotting, yoga, psychedelics, sober curiousness, the aging debate, complicated parental relationships, home and clothing style, emerging from childhood traumas, and a lot more.

*Minutes before this pic was taken at a bachelorette, I was in the corner of the boat pumping. Modern mothering!*
