Looking forward to learning from you talented and creative folks.
A somewhat retired chef & entrepreneur, I happily found the joy of writing--always have a couple WIPs as well as random idea notes everywhere. My 'Stack SPARRING WITH MOTHER NATURE shares a love of the oceans and life living aboard a soulful wooden sailboat. ~J @sparringwithmothernature (did that work??) Lol. I'm not too techy and also believe that good writing has the power to change the world.
Hello all 👋🏼 Looking forward to learning from all of you!
I’m Dr. Jillian, a pediatric icu physician, toddler mom, coach, and creative who has been slowly writing my way back to myself over the past two years here on Substack.
Between the grind of a full-time job in academic medicine and the early years of motherhood, I found myself uninspired and lost. Through writing, I’ve found a way through and a way to help other people by sharing my experience and what I’ve learned.
I said I’d start writing a book this year and have at least started shaping the blob of ideas that I have, so that’s something.
I’m really looking forward to connecting with the creative community here because the medical people in my life mostly think I’ve lost my mind.
"Slowly writing my way back to myself"--beautiful!
We think you've "lost" your mind in the perfect, most resonant way. After all, aren't writers' minds--fueled by curiosity, mining the depths of memory and research and the words of others--wonderful places to get lost?
Thank you, Dr. Jillian, for joining us and introducing yourself. We're delighted to have you shaping that blob of ideas alongside us!
If it serves you and the timing's right, our Saturday Write-Ins from 9 - 10:30 am PDT are intended to enable people to have a dedicated time to work on whatever project it is they're working on, perhaps helped in that goal by prompts, and aided by us all being each other's accountability partners. Would love to see you at any and all of these that work for you. (All first Saturdays are free.)

Yayyyy!! We're thrilled to have you with us, Janice.
We feel lucky to have a boat (and a fabulous one at that) among the "wagons" in our circle.
To changing the world together.
You all are awesome! My aspirations for writing center around helping people heal while feeling the miriad of emotions life floods around us.
Aw, thank you, Teyani!
And thank you for sharing. These are fabulous motivations. So. Many. Emotions.
Glad you're with us!
