About Stepping In It
A newsletter about managing the messes we inherit, create, marry into, work inside of, and occasionally become.
This is not a self-improvement newsletter.
It’s a “trying to survive modern life with your sense of humor intact” newsletter.
I write about family logistics, workplace absurdity, invisible labor, middle age, ambition, systems that don’t work, people who definitely should know better, and the strange emotional math of trying to hold everything together.
Some essays are funny. Some are sharper than intended. Most start with a small story (and some parenthetical asides) and end somewhere more revealing.
About me:
I live outside Philadelphia with my husband and two toy poodles with differing levels of function. To work with me, visit: okaydoak.com.
