Have you ever come home... and realized you were the one who had changed?

Sometimes the hardest part of a journey isn’t leaving.

It’s returning.

This week’s chapter of The Beautiful Undoing of Margaret Hale isn’t really about boarding a plane.

It’s about becoming someone you refuse to leave behind.

If you’ve ever taken a trip that changed your perspective...
If you’ve ever wondered whether the woman who left is the same one coming home...
This chapter is for you.

✨ Chapter 12: The Woman Who Boarded the Plane is now live on Substack.

I hope when you finish reading it, you’ll ask yourself one question:

Who are you bringing home with you?

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she realizes she’s no longer trying to get back to who she was...

She’s becoming who she was always meant to be.

✨ Chapter 11 of The Beautiful Undoing of Margaret Hale is now live.

This chapter is about something I think many of us don’t expect after divorce, an empty nest, career changes, or life’s unexpected detours:

Healing isn’t the finish line.

It’s the beginning.

Margaret discovers that the greatest transformation isn’t found in changing your circumstances—it’s found in changing how you see yourself.

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, wondered what’s next, or felt like your best years might still be ahead of you...this chapter is for you.

📖 Read Chapter 11 now on Substack (link in bio).

I’d love to know...

What has life taught you about starting over?

💛 Thank you for walking alongside Margaret each week. Your messages, comments, and encouragement mean more than you know.

Chapter 11 arrives tomorrow...

What if the life you’ve been trying to rebuild isn’t asking you to become someone new...

What if it’s asking you to remember who you were before the world told you who to be?

Tomorrow, Margaret discovers that healing was never the destination.

It was only the beginning.

✨ Chapter 11: The Woman Who Went First drops tomorrow on Substack.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over...this chapter is for you.

How many times have you waited for someone else to tell you it was okay to begin again?

Chapter 10, Permission, is one of the most personal chapters I’ve written.

Margaret doesn’t have a dramatic breakthrough.

She doesn’t suddenly have all the answers.

Instead, she discovers something quieter…

That healing often begins with the smallest act of courage:

Giving yourself permission.

✨ Permission to laugh again.

✨ Permission to dream again.

✨ Permission to travel.

✨ Permission to change.

✨ Permission to become someone new.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been waiting for your next chapter, this one is for you.

📖 Read Chapter 10: Permission on Substack.

🎙️ Then join me on The Bold Edit, where we explore why reinvention isn’t one giant leap—it’s hundreds of tiny permissions we grant ourselves.

❤️ I’d love to hear from you:

What is one permission you’re finally giving yourself?

07/15/2026

I don’t think healing arrives all at once.

I think it arrives one permission at a time.

Coming Thursday

I didn’t write this story because I wanted to write a novel.

I wrote it because I know what it feels like to wake up one day and wonder...

“Where did I go?”

Somewhere between marriage.
Motherhood.
Business.
Responsibility.
Taking care of everyone else...

So many women stop choosing themselves.

Margaret Hale is fictional.

But the questions she’s asking are very real.

✨ This week I’m releasing two chapters of The Beautiful Undoing of Margaret Hale.

📖 Chapter 7: The Body Remembers
📖 Chapter 8: What Women Carry

These chapters are for every woman who’s trying to remember herself again.

If that’s you...

Come sit at our table in Calabria.

We’ll save you a glass of wine. 🍷

✨ NEW CHAPTER + NEW PODCAST EPISODE ✨

This week, two stories continue.

One belongs to Margaret.

One belongs to all of us.

🍷 Chapter 6 of The Beautiful Undoing of Margaret Hale is now live on Substack.

In this chapter, Margaret learns a lesson about salt, grief, and letting go.

After months of surviving her divorce, a fellow student in Calabria challenges her with a difficult truth:

“You are still standing in the doorway of a house that burned down, explaining where the furniture used to be.”

It’s the chapter where Margaret begins to realize she may be holding on to the pain longer than she’s holding on to herself.

🎙️ Episode 3 of The Bold Edit is also now available.

This week’s episode is called:

“Flour: Why Midlife Requires Us to Become Beginners Again.”

We’re talking about:
✨ starting over after divorce
✨ learning new things in midlife
✨ why capable women struggle to be beginners
✨ perfectionism
✨ and what happens when we stop waiting to be good at something before we try it

Because maybe the next version of you is waiting on the other side of being willing to make a mess.

For every woman who’s rebuilding, reinventing, healing, dreaming, or wondering what’s next...

This week’s chapter and episode are for you.
