Claire, I would love to collaborate! I write about infertility, mental health, and adventure at www.lizexplores.com.

I’ve just returned from a 14,000-mile solo road trip to Alaska, and my husband and I are adopting a child from foster care (I am planning to write a memoir about this trip and figuring out what comes next after infertility). I would be happy to share a story with your readers!

Feel free to DM me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/_lizexplores

Hi Liz! Love your Substack. It's like the perfect way to create interest for your memoir. Your journey looked so amazing. I don't really use Instagram... would you email me at editorclairetak@gmail.com? You can LMK which story you'd like to share. Thanks for reaching out! :D

Thank you, Emily, for permission to embrace the clichés! I always catch them in my writing, but I’m often too lazy or blocked to change them. And as a fellow friend of Bill W., I understand how life-saving they can be.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve had five miscarriages, but I can’t imagine losing a living child. Kudos for maintaining your sobriety.
