Roots and Roadmaps

The Journal Of Becoming

Deeply rooted. Delightfully curious. Always, braving the wilderness.

Welcome to Roots & Roadmaps.

This is where I share the wild, wonderful, messy, and wholehearted journey of being human. Here you’ll find my stories of healing, courage, faith, nature, becoming—and the everyday magic I collect along the way. I write from the place Brené Brown calls “the wilderness”—that brave, sacred space where we choose authenticity over approval and belonging over fitting in.

I am endlessly curious about life—about what strengthens us, what softens us, what breaks us open in the best ways, and what helps us rise again. This space is where I honor that curiosity, follow the threads of wonder, and tell the truth about the beautiful work of becoming. I have done some deep and hard work on this journey of healing. Now, I will be brave and share some of it with you.

So step into the wilderness with me.
Let’s wander. Let’s grow. Let’s be brave.
And let’s remember, always:

We are better together.
