The Feral Housewife's Guide to Living Authentically, Creatively, & Intentionally Issue #90 || October 17, 2025 || Previous issues Hey Reader, Wow did I touch a nerve last week! I received a few heartbreaking but all too familiar-feeling "jewelry store" moments from my readers. I'm guessing, even if you didn't send me your story, you have a few of your own. Today, I'd like to share 3 deeply personal stories that expose a painful truth: There's an epidemic of people walking around believing...

The Feral Housewife's Guide to Living Authentically, Creatively, & Intentionally Issue #89 || October 10, 2025 || Previous issues Hey Reader, Why do certain childhood memories seem to pop up out of nowhere? Do they mean something? Or are they random, unpredictable clips that surface the way movie quotes or song lyrics do? I don't think they're random. I believe they're clues to our inner world—pointing us toward the deeply held beliefs and stories we formed about ourselves when we were...

The Feral Housewife's Guide to Living Authentically, Creatively, & Intentionally Issue #88 || October 3rd, 2025 || Previous issues Hey Reader, This newsletter is late.

The Feral Housewife's Guide to Living Authentically, Creatively, & Intentionally Issue # || Month day, year || Previous issues Hey Reader, Are you happy? Yes or no? (Is it that simple of an answer Anna? I hear ya...🤔) How do you know if you're happy or not? How can you tell if someone else is? And if they are, how did they "get" that way?

Or are they tossed in a forgotten heap, like dirty socks, because you're afraid, embarrassed, or too down on yourself to acknowledge them? Or maybe you believe it's too prideful to pat yourself on the back? Goodness knows, a high five, a happy dance, or a self-pat on the back...
