🔐 Privacy Policy

Hey there. I want you to feel safe, respected, and informed while you're here.

This space—hosted on Substack—collects some basic information when you subscribe, comment, or engage with posts. Here’s what you should know:

What I Collect

• Email addresses when you subscribe or become a paid member.

• Name or username if you include it with your profile.

• Comments or replies you post publicly.

• Analytics like open rates and read times, provided by Substack.

I use this information to understand what’s resonating, connect with readers, and keep this newsletter valuable and relevant. I do not sell your information, and I will never spam you. Ever.

Third-Party Platforms

I use Substack to manage this newsletter. That means they also have access to your data and have their own Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. If you listen to podcasts or watch videos through embedded platforms like YouTube or Spotify, those services may also collect data according to their own policies.

Your Choices

• You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

• You can request that I delete your data by contacting me directly.

• You can use a pseudonym or nickname if you want more anonymity when commenting.

Mental Health Reminder

Even though I’m a therapist, this is not a therapy space. See the Terms of Service for more on that. Your privacy matters, but this is a public platform—so if you’re sharing personal stories or vulnerable comments, please do so thoughtfully.

If you have questions or concerns about privacy, reach out. I want this to be a safe and respectful space for all of us.

Thanks for trusting me with your inbox.
