When "focusing on what you can control" doesn't really help

Hello there! I’m so glad you’re reading my brand-new newsletter. Let’s start with a little background on the newsletter name and what you’ll find here. I used to deflate inside when someone called me “sensitive” or chided me for “overthinking” things. I used to think my sensitivity and my need to talk, write, and feel my way through experiences made me less fun to be around, less strong, or just “too much.” But I’ve come to embrace these parts of myself, and now I see them as the source of my strength and resilience (not to mention the reason I write novels). I’ve also been craving connection and a place to share some essays about being a mom, writer, and human during this current moment, plus my book news and recommendations. So here we go!
