The Second Act is the weekly newsletter I always wanted in my inbox, packed with obsessively-curated recommendations, thoughtful reflections on books, feelings, parenting wins (and fails), and the art of making room for more. Whether you're seeking inspiration or connection, The Second Act offers a warm, inviting space for all.
Welcome to The Second Act. The weekly newsletter I always wanted in my inbox. Every issue is packed with tips and recommendations. I write about all the lifestyle-y things like capsule wardrobes, book recs, and what I’m lovin’ lately. But I also write vulnerably about life lessons and learning how to navigate being a single parent. I currently live in California with my family and our border collie, Margot. I’m obsessed with finding tricks and recommendations that make my life—and hopefully yours—better.
If you enjoy what I share here (perhaps you will find your next favorite read!) and want my newsletter of obsessively-curated recommendations, thoughtful reflections on books, feelings, life, and the art of making room for more, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription for access to every post and a subscriber only book club!
Never miss an update—every new post is sent directly to your email inbox.
What else? My Spotify is full of playlists that are probably way too revealing, but these are my favorite songs of all time. I am a compulsively future-oriented person, a tendency that sometimes feels like a superpower and a coping mechanism that keeps me from being present. I always salt my pasta, and Paul is my favorite Beatle.
You can read a bit more about me and the path that led me to finally launch The Second Act here. Enjoy!
Let’s hang out!
