I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY

Welcome to I Hope You’re Happy 

Being human is weird. We should probably talk about it.

IHYH is stories about grief, family, relationships, chronic illness, boundaries, starting over, overthinking, and all the other things we somehow manage to make incredibly complicated.

Some of it is funny. Some of it isn’t. Sometimes it’s both at exactly the wrong moment.

There’s psychology in here, but no five-step plan for fixing your life. Mostly, it’s about looking at the things we do, the things we survive, and the stories we tell ourselves afterward – and occasionally realizing:

Oh. So THAT’S why I do that.

No forced positivity. No pretending anyone has this figured out.

Just honest stories about being human.

Pick your particular flavor of human nonsense:

Letters – The words we needed to say, even if the person they were meant for never reads them. For the things you never said, should have said, almost said, or are probably better off writing down first.

Podcast – Me, a microphone, and the stories behind all of this, including a medical history that reads like it was written by someone paid per plot twist.

Blog – Stories, thoughts, rabbit holes, and whatever else wouldn’t shut up until it became a post.

Book Club – Books that make us think, question things, argue with the author, or occasionally stare at a wall for a while.
