Solitude can feel profoundly restorative. But, when overwhelmed by responsibility and grief, the psychotherapist Elizabeth Dyer found that being alone didn’t provide respite anymore. This gentle Idea proposes that for solitude to feel restorative, we need to feel held by our environment

My new essay for @thenation.com, “The Nap Room Didn’t Love Me Back,” is about leaving academia postpartum for big tech and what happens when your job becomes your welfare system. When care is routed through work, it is not guaranteed. It reshapes how we attach and what we tolerate

The Nap Room Didn’t Love Me Back

I left academia for a tech job that offered me the promise of stability. What happens when corporate employers become our most reliable caregivers?

I wrote about Winnicott, structural abandonment, and why the capacity to be alone depends on being held by people, and by institutions that actually show up. psyche.co/ideas/the-ca...

I wrote about aspirational pantries, hidden domestic labor, and the fantasy of “effortless” homes for Dwell, with illustrations by Irene Chung and edits by Sarah Buder www.dwell.com/article/the-...

The Aspirational Pantry Is a Scam

The picture-perfect sculleries and “back kitchens” I see all over the internet embody a very old architectural obsession: conceal the labor to convey domestic effortlessness.

Excited to share a new article of mine on menopause, drawn from my on-going research in clinical psychology. I argue it’s a major developmental transition on par with puberty, shaped by culture as much as biology. Grateful for anyone who takes a look! www.zmescience.com/feature-post...

We've Been Getting Menopause Wrong. Science Shows It's a "Second Puberty" For the Brain

Menopause is a developmental and neurological transition that opens the door to new forms of insight, stability, and leadership.
