About CARESCAPES
A place for my messy thoughts about trauma, intimacy, healing, relationships, and care, as well as my reflections on what I’m reading, watching, and taking in — from a chronically ill trauma babe who believes that when we heal ourselves, we heal the world we live in.
Every week you’ll receive two pieces of writing. On Mondays, I share my thoughts and feelings about whatever is on my mind these days, plus my weekly culture diary. On Fridays, I send out some words from my current writing project. Monday’s missive is free for everyone and Friday’s includes an excerpt and the rest can be read by signing up for a paid subscription. I never want money to be an access barrier, so you can always email me hello@margeauxfeldman.com to read for free.
