Where the hell am I?

Welcome to snoozeletter, a newsletter for the tired. I’m lisa (she/her) a queer, sober, chronic doer who would just like to take an unexamined nap.

I started this newsletter in July 2021 as some sort of forced accountability measure for my writing. In late May 2021 I was laid off from a job that had been pretty all consuming. My therapist recommended I take a break before jumping into another job. I laughed because imagine taking breaks? Me neither.

But in the name of science and not having a nervous breakdown I’ve decided to try it because what is being in recovery if not being your own guinea pig.

Okay, but what is it really?

snoozeletter is a twice-monthly, essay-structure newsletter. I cover topics that are coming up in my own life and recovery and end with a curated list of resources I’ve been consuming and loving that week. Paid subscribers receive an additional monthly dispatch on the third Wednesday of each month.

Sure, but what will you write about?

Rest, sobriety, queerness, eating disorder recovery, maybe having boundaries (lol?), norse mythology, divorce, and whatever the hell else weaves through my brain. You know, the general strangeness of being a person, in a body, living while the world is on fire. Have a topic you wish I’d cover? Reply to a snoozeletter and let me know!
