The Library

Curated, not algorithmic.

Books, women, and practices worth your attention. Updated when something earns its place. Never to fill a content calendar.

Reading list

Books I keep returning to.

Not a syllabus. Not a productivity stack. The handful of books I find myself recommending in DMs at 11pm.

  • 01

    Women Who Run With the Wolves

    Clarissa Pinkola Estés

    The mythic spine of this whole project. Read slowly, in seasons.

  • 02

    Bittersweet

    Susan Cain

    On the quiet power of longing. A permission slip for the moody months.

  • 03

    Hood Feminism

    Mikki Kendall

    Recalibrates whose 'becoming' has been centred, and whose hasn't.

  • 04

    How to Do Nothing

    Jenny Odell

    An argument for attention as the most radical resource you have.

Women worth knowing

Thinkers I'd put in your hand.

Writers, researchers, and quiet revolutionaries shaping how I think.

  • 01

    adrienne maree brown

    Author of Pleasure Activism, Emergent Strategy

    On change as something we grow, not engineer.

  • 02

    Dr. Vivek Murthy & the Loneliness Lab

    Public health research

    The data behind why so many of us feel quietly unmoored.

  • 03

    Tricia Hersey

    The Nap Ministry

    Rest as resistance. Required reading for the high-functioning.

  • 04

    Esther Perel

    Therapist & writer

    On the long, real work of intimacy, with others and with self.

Practices & tools

Things that earn their place.

Small, useful, real. Nothing that asks more of you than it gives back.

  • 01

    Morning pages, but honestly

    Journaling, 15 min

    Three pages, one cup of something warm, no audience. Cumulative magic.

  • 02

    A walk before the phone

    Daily practice

    Twenty minutes outside before any screen. Shifts the entire day.

  • 03

    The annual personal review

    Once a year, a long Sunday

    Not goals. A long, slow look at what's wanting to grow next.

  • 04

    One real friendship, fed

    Weekly voice notes

    Not networking. A woman you talk to as if she's already known you for years.

Have something that should be here? I'd love to know what's been feeding you.
