This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wildcozyfree.substack.comI wrote this song about a year ago, and it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. The phrase “I know I’m working hard, and sometimes I can see it” came from one of my best friends during a conversation about how it can be hard to see our own progress when there’s no tangible ‘proof’ of how hard we’re working.To listen, upgrade to a paid subscription for $7/month or $75/year ($9 off!) at

This is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve ever shared.Every Mental Health Awareness Month, I share something pithy and trite. (Maybe I’m being unfair to myself. Sometimes I post a throwback from the play I wrote about a therapist and her patients.) A lot of people don’t know the parts of my story that I share in this video. And even the people who know have never heard me talk about it like this. (If you know nothing about me at all, maybe start here for an overview.) I’m scared of what people

Hi friends. It’s been a minute. Many minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months since I last published anything here.I have been doing a lot of writing and stopping and starting and stopping and rewriting and musing on what my first post back would be. I haven’t published anything personal that really speaks to what's going on with me in a while.I feel almost paralyzed with anxiety every time I sit down to write to you. I’ve gotten teary more than once. I get a few paragraphs in, and then I stop and

I am in my own lane I will not let myself downI am in my own place, I am my own houseI’m sitting on my living room floor on a chilly January Sunday. I just sold a coffee table I’ve never really liked, to a recent college graduate who loves it. She’s furnishing her first New York City apartment.I’ve been wanting to sell this table for a while, so I’m thrilled that it’s finally sold. And yet, I imagined I’d still be a little sad to walk back into my apartment and see the empty space where the table

Hi friends. Happy New Year. Like me, I’m sure you’ve been inundated with all the ‘New Year New Me’ newsletters, gym memberships, etc. telling you how 2025 is going to be your year. Rather than cut through the noise, I decided to just wait it out and stay in holiday cocoon mode a little while longer. But now that I’m here in your inbox, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you about my new framework for becoming your real self, setting real goals, and making real changes in your life. It’s unlike

2024/12/24

You might be wondering what the hell I have to say to you that’s important enough that I’d post something on Christmas Eve. CHRISTMAS EVE!! A day often, rightfully reserved for last-minute shopping, cooking, seven fishes dinners, holiday movies, and maybe some semi-peaceful (or at least tolerable?) time with loved ones.Or maybe - you’re excited to be hearing from me, in which case…Either way, I deeply value your times so I’ll get right to it.If you’re having an amazing holiday season devoid of

"Everyone Is Doing Better Than You."

What Authenticity Means To Me, with Alexa Juanita Jordan ·

2023/11/29

My brain is amazing at picking out one seemingly inconsequential detail about a person and then using that detail to spin an entire imagined narrative about why their life is better than mine. That girl in the matching athleisure set jogging in Central Park? She works out every single morning; she’s more disciplined than me.The construction worker laughing with his buddies? He has more joy in his life and doesn’t sweat the small stuff.The really friendly cashier who compliments me on my choice of

Why I Became a Life Coach

This is another, I wanted to wait until I was ready, kind of post.One of my friends referenced the opening line of my very first essay over here at substack during class last week. The sentiment resonated with her, and many of our peers. I decided to become a life coach shortly after starting this blog. I hit publish on my very first post over here in May, and started class at the end of June.It isn’t something I’ve been building up to for a while. It isn’t something I even fully had a grasp on

No More Playing Small

TW: explicit discussion of eating disorders and body dysmorphia. It’s okay to skip this week if you need to ❤️My ‘Oy with the Poodles Already!’ Gilmore Girls T-shirt no longer fits me comfortably. Neither does my ‘In Omnia Paratus’ one. They’re tight in the sleeves, and cling to my forearms. I want to snap my fingers and shrink my torso so that I can fit into them like I used to. But I can’t do that. I’ve outgrown them. And that is a bitter pill to swallow. I refuse to part with these beloved
