This Substack has a new name and a deeper purpose
I want to let you know that Healing Thoughts has a new name. From here on out, this space will be called Shadow Thoughts.
I want to let you know that Healing Thoughts this Substack has a new name.
From here on out, this space will be called Shadow Thoughts.
Not because the healing is over.
But because real healing doesn’t start in the light.
It starts in the places we’d rather not look.
The memories we downplay. The habits we justify.
The versions of ourselves we try to outgrow without ever listening to.
This newsletter has evolved into something deeper, darker, and more honest than when it began.
What I’m writing now isn't about surface-level self-improvement.
It’s about shadow work. The slow, uncomfortable process of facing what we’ve buried and learning to live with all of it.
And with that evolution, I’ve also made it official:
I’ve acquired shadowthoughts.com
This space now has a permanent home and a name that finally reflects the depth of the work.
Shadow Thoughts is where I explore that through daily poems, longer stories, and raw inner dialogue.
It’s where truth gets messy. Healing gets real.
And discomfort becomes the doorway, not the obstacle.
You’re still in the right place.
The only thing that’s changed is the name
because the work demanded it.
Thank you for continuing to walk this with me.
The shadow doesn’t shrink when we look at it
but we do start to understand it.
And that changes everything.
P.S.
If you're looking for something a little lighter:
daily encouragement, softer truths, and reflections that feel like breath after the storm…
I’ve moved that to my other newsletter,
formerly known as Healing Texts, now known as: Healing Thoughts →
Same heart. Different tone.
You're welcome to walk in both worlds.
