Why subscribe?

Because this isn’t just a newsletter — it’s a soft place to land after walking away from the version of yourself that wasn’t working anymore.

The Summer I Quit is part journal, part survival guide, part ✨ slow-motion plot twist. It’s for anyone who’s starting over, or secretly fantasizing about quitting their job. (I did.)

Each post is a mix of:

  • Real talk about reinvention, healing, and the mess in between

  • Rambly reflections from a recovering people-pleaser

  • Sweet little glimpses of a life re-rooting itself — garden dirt, dog walks, lemon zest, and therapy breakthroughs

Subscribe if you:

  • Need a reminder that quitting doesn’t mean failing

  • Like your introspection with a side of wit

  • Want to feel a little less alone in the in-between
