I now mostly edit audio pieces and write, and my work has been featured in places like The New York Times and Vox. Once, I made an app that tried to make audio easier to share. I co-produced a video series for TAL that won an Emmy. Sometimes I still produce and edit audio things. That book, What My Bones Know, is available for purchase here, or at your local independent bookstore.Ībout my career: I used to work as a radio producer for This American Life and Snap Judgment, and I’ve freelanced for podcasts like Invisibilia, The Cut, Nancy, Reply All and 99% Invisible. I told myself that when I finally healed, I would write the book I so wanted to read when I was first diagnosed - a stigma-busting, kind, first-person account with real science and solutions. But because C-PTSD is an under-researched, under-diagnosed condition, it was hard to find material on it, and many of the books I did read made me feel pathologized, stigmatized and alone. After I got diagnosed, I found it impossible to maintain the veneer of perfection I was trying so desperately to uphold, and instead dedicated my life to healing from C-PTSD. In 2018, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD.Īt the time, I looked good on paper - a successful journalist in a happy relationship - but I had been having panic attacks every morning in my office for months.
