The Paper Salon: A real letter in your mailbox every month. Join the first 50 founding members. |  ENROLLMENT ends October 23rd

The Digital Salon

Essays, reflections and private conversations for paid Substack members.

A private circle for women who want to reflect more deeply — and live more deliberately.
This is not a course.
It is not a performance space.
It is not endless content to keep up with.

It is a gathering.

The pace is unhurried.
The tone is thoughtful.
The conversation is real.

There is no urgency here.
No pressure to reinvent.

Only space to reflect.
To refine.
And to move forward — in good company.

What Happens Inside …

There is a quiet rhythm to The Digital Salon.

Each month, we gather around one meaningful theme and explore it together through personal stories, thoughtful reflections, and conversations that unfold over time.

  • Weekly letter with personal stories, thoughtful reflections, and gentle prompts to help you see your life more clearly and design what comes next.
  • A private monthly video conversation
  • Extended written reflections that go beyond weekly letters
  • The Next Chapter Salon Collection — a curated collection of tools, prompts, and resources to support clarity, direction, and your next beginning.
  • The Quick Start Guide to Design Your Fabulous Next Chapter — a place to begin

Nothing to keep up with … all the way to … recognize one another quickly.

Can We Ever Go Home Again?

I’ve been thinking a lot about places lately.
Not just where we live…but what certain places represent.
In the spring of 2018, I bought an older home in Minneapolis that needed a complete gut renovation.
On paper, it made very little sense.
I loved my life in Boston. I was also spending six months each year in Paris. Most people assumed that one day I would be permanently in Paris.
Instead, I bought a house in Minneapolis that required months of construction, endless decisions, and far more money than I had planned.
Why?
Because I believed that love—and family—were asking me to come home.

The Small Decisions That Quietly Change a Life

I’ve been thinking about a question lately.
What small decision quietly changed the direction of your life?
Not getting married.
Not getting divorced.
Not having children.
I’m talking about the decisions that didn’t seem especially significant at the time.
The ones that, years later, you realize quietly altered the entire course of your life.
Perhaps it’s because I’m standing at another crossroads.

 

Conversation + Cooking Salmorejo

A relaxed kitchen conversation about the origins of The Paper Salon. As I prepare salmorejo, I share my love of letters, beautiful stationery, and sending myself postcards while traveling—and reflect on why the things we hold on paper are often the things we keep.

Free Subscribers

Twice each month, you’ll receive a new reflection filled with personal stories, thoughtful observations, and questions to carry into your own life.

Paid Members

Paid members receive everything shared with free subscribers, plus a private monthly video conversation where we go deeper into the month’s theme—more personal, more conversational, and a little more like gathering around the Salon table together.
You’ll also have access to The Next Chapter Salon Collection—a growing, curated library of tools, prompts, and resources designed to bring greater clarity and direction to whatever comes next.
And you’ll receive The Quick Start Guide to Design Your Fabulous Next Chapter—a thoughtful place to begin.

A Closing Note

This is not about starting over.
It is about refining the life you’ve built, in good company.
If you’ve been reading and quietly thinking,

“Yes. I’ve been feeling this.”
Then begin wherever feels right.
With the Letters.
Or at the table inside the Salon.
