“Sarah’s newsletter is like getting a creative mentor in my inbox. Her voice is kind, her words are artful, and their perspective is always fresh and unique.

“Sarah looks at the world differently, in a way that feels both microscopic and macroscopic simultaneously. ”

“Stumbling across this funny, wise, thoroughly authentic newsletter and having a creative coaching session with Sarah were two of the unexpected gifts of these pandemic years.”

Hi hi, friend!
My name is Sarah, and I’m a writer, poet, autistic human, and ex-social worker turned trauma-informed mentor & coach.
For the Birds is a place where creative nourishment thrives.
Here, you’ll discover writing that exists at the tender / weird / nuanced intersections of creativity, neurodivergence, and the more-than-human world.
I also host The Resiliency Circle, a gentle community space where we show up for our creativity in holistic ways.
Why holistic? Because creativity touches all of it: our sensitivities, our wounds, our gifts, and our deepest sense of self.
