Still Unlearning
An open letter to the journey toward self-discovery, healing, and growth. Graciously evolving our narratives, one lesson at a time.
After a series of burnouts left me depressed, anxious, and isolated in my dream city and career I felt lost and disconnected from who I was. I turned to writing as a form of release and slowly began rebuilding my relationship with myself by establishing new meaning to the world around me. From navigating insecurities to exploring new passions I’m setting out to build a life that makes me happy and inspiring other women that it’s never too late to do the same.
Still Unlearning is a storytelling platform designed to document the lessons learned along this journey while encouraging others to be unafraid of letting go of what’s holding them back from living an authentic, fulfilling life.
