About Tender at The Desk Stove

Tender at The Desk and Stove, is a monthly newsletter offering personal essays, delicious recipes, interviews, and media recommendations all intended to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.

Tender at the Desk and Stove is more expansive than my previous newsletters which, like Lifting Heavy Things: Healing Trauma One Rep at a Time, focused on embodiment, fitness, and healing trauma. In Tender at the Desk and Stove, I engage with subjects like grief in all of its forms, decolonizing wellness, eating disorder recovery, divorce, queerness, and self-love. Some months feature an essay and others an interview that explores different spheres of wellness. Each month I also share recipe, book, television, film, and podcast recommendations along with my professional updates.

My hope is that Tender at the Desk and Stove supports readers in considering their own relationship to wellness and desire. This organic shift reflects my personal path and my current book project.

My newsletters have been described as kind, grounding, and generous by readers. If you subscribe, you’ll get full access to them and never miss an update as to what I am up to, offering, or where we can connect, because every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
