Welcome. I'm Kristen.

I used to write a fitness blog. I still love fitness and nutrition, but after 8 years of blogging, it was time to admit something to myself:

I wanted more out of writing than just fitness and nutrition.

I started this site in 2018 as a place to write about anything—and everything. I write about my life as a writer, as a teacher, and as a personal trainer. I write about my life as a woman, as a 40-something-year-old, and as a thinker. I write essays. I write narrative nonfiction. I fantasize about writing novels. And sometimes I still write poetry.
