I’m a content creator, storyteller, Craft Club host, and someone who has always been a little too interested in why people do the things they do.

I make content about love, friendship, books, restaurants, style, creativity, internet culture, and the tiny observations that somehow turn into much bigger conversations. My niche, if there is one, is building a life that feels good to live and interesting to talk about.

When I was little, I loved pretending I was hosting my own cooking, DIY, or talk show. I was obsessed with people like Alton Brown, Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, and Oprah - not just because of what they made, but because of how they shared it with an audience. I would reenact their shows, explain where to buy the ingredients and prepare a great meal, interview imaginary guests, and walk people through how to throw a get-together everyone will remember.

Sharing what I loved with an audience, even an imaginary one, always felt natural. So when blogging and social media made it possible to do that for real, I was all in. I launched my first blog in 2013, writing about celiac disease, health, and the earliest version of a lesson I’m still learning now: how to take care of myself without turning myself into a project.

Since then, life has gotten bigger and weirder and better.

I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I’ve changed careers. I’ve had a full hip repair in my twenties. I ended a nine-year relationship, moved back to Phoenix, and started rebuilding a life that actually feels like mine. I thought I’d be married with kids by 31. Holy shit - I’m so glad that’s not how it worked out.

Not because I don’t want love or family or a big beautiful life. I do. But I’m also learning that there’s a difference between wanting something and abandoning yourself to get it. You also might not be ready for the big amazing life you're dreaming of. 

These days, I’m doing the work for real. I’m taking care of my body and my brain more honestly. I’m building better relationships with the people I love. I’m planning a move to Oregon. I’m making my current home feel like a place I actually want to live. I’m staying hopeful, even when dating hurts my feelings. I’m learning how to make my own luck.

I also accidentally started a Craft Club because I posted one Reel and decided to see what would happen. Now it’s a real community, which feels like the perfect example of how I want to move through the world: have the idea, make the plan, put it on the calendar, invite people in, and see what grows.

Around here, you’ll find essays, podcast conversations, restaurant thoughts, recommendations, Craft Club updates, dating reflections, book talk, outfit details, internet rabbit holes, and probably at least one strong opinion about fries.

I’m not trying to be one thing forever.

I’m trying to build a life big enough to keep becoming myself inside of it.

I’m really glad you’re here!

Hi, I’m Taylor.
