Why I’m only writing on Substack now!

Come on over. The water is warm.

I’ve been blogging for over fifteen years. That’s about five thousand blogs, give or take. Short, long, sideways. Documenting my journey with dog-eared pages and spaghetti stains. Started on Tumblr when I started my therapist journey fresh off a divorce, drinking coffee out of styrofoam, listening to Wayne Dyer on long night walks, and discovering a new sense of purpose. Then social came out, Tumblr died, and I moved to Medium. I also became a contributor for Psychology Today — 6,317,890 total reads on 140 published articles. And of course, the books. I have authored 5 books (on my 6th) for Harper One. The Angry Therapist — A No BS Guide to Finding and Living Your Own Truth, I Used To Be A Miserable F*ck, Single. On Purpose, It’s Not Me, It’s You, and my SOP Workbook.

It’s been a long fucking ride.

But finally, things have tipped. Emotionally that is, like someone in a lopsided relationship who finally believes she deserves more. Different. After fifteen years of staring at a blank screen and wanting to throw my computer through many windows, I can finally say I’m a professional writer. Without the buts or justification. Technically you’re a professional writer once you start getting paid to write. But for me, due to my deep rooted false belief that I’m a failed writer (a struggling screenwriter in my previous life), money and contracts weren’t enough. Logic alone doesn’t dissolve false beliefs. It took many somatic drop into my body experiences. Like standing at the airport holding “Miserable F*ck” in my arms, after Hudson picked it up. Flipping through my books that have been translated into different languages. Shaking hands and hugging real people who have read me and was impacted in some way.

Like living with a disease, believing that I am a professional writer has been an uphill battle.

But today, I believe.

Kinda.

It’s still a shaky belief, self-doubt and imposter syndrome sneak in often.

Which is why I must put action behind my belief. To reinforce. Uphold. Push the rock over the hill.

So here it is.
