In February 2022, I decided to create a Substack page in order to establish a written and visual extension to the podcast, and in order to share non-monetized content more seamlessly.

When you sign up, in addition to getting access to all of my writing, you will also be able to comment and engage on each post, plus get notified via email when I post something new.

I would love to have you as a part of our growing community!
