A Letter Becomes a Conversation
2000 new readers overnight. Proof that the world is still hungry for something real.
Dear Leo,
Last week I shared a link to these letters on my Instagram. I wanted people to know that while they’re written for you, the words often speak to all of us, parents, soon-to-be parents, or anyone navigating life and trying to make sense of who they’re becoming.
I took my time explaining how I hope these letters are received: not as “content,” but as connection. A small corner of the internet where honesty lives, where stories breathe, and where people feel seen. And it seems that message landed. Within the first five minutes, over 500 people had subscribed.
Why does that mean so much to me? Because it feels like another sign that I’m finally finding my rhythm, writing from the heart, capturing family moments through my lens, and opening up conversations that reach beyond our home. Whether it’s me and your mumma on the podcast, or strangers who become friends through shared experiences, it all feels part of the same thread: growth, love, and truth.
Read the rest, for free.
