“My column isn't so much a traditional ‘advice column’ as much as it is a community campfire, where my readers and I throw down our feelings in a co-created conversation that the robust comments section of Substack will be able to host. It's gonna be a lot of feelings, and given what everyone's going through right now, emotionally, it couldn't be more perfectly timed.”
