The Full of Life Newsletter
Hiking Escapades, Philosophy, And Death Work All In One? You're In The Right Place.
In my newsletter, I write musings about mental health, living, and dying intertwined with a wandering search for meaning. Many of these pieces are fueled from my work as a death doula, and offer insights on how death and dying are also about life and living.
Here, I address the questions that most twenty-somethings (most humans) eventually encounter: is this all there is? Does anything actually matter? How can I live better?
Thanks for coming along on this wild ride.
The Book
In the summer of 2022, life as I knew it collapsed. In the aftermath, I embarked alone on a 900 mile hike of the Appalachian Trail.
This book weaves together my long walk in the woods with how I discovered death work and how, ultimately, both experiences brought me back to life. It’s the story of a once depressed, suicidal girl becoming a woman who learned how to love being alive.
With my unique perspective as a death doula and aspiring hospice chaplain, I integrate studies of death, dying, and the great outdoors as a way to lean hard into the present moment.
The result? A book that is a living, breathing invitation to a truer life, one where you can chase your ambitions while simultaneously holding profound presence and gratitude for where you are.
Join me as I write about the many mishaps and lessons the Trail taught me, including perhaps the greatest takeaway: how to be where you are while you’re becoming what’s next.
