I’m Mickie, an American-British writer originally from South Carolina, now living in the UK. My writing is shaped by my own lived experiences, and everything I share comes from a deeply personal place. I’ve walked through trauma, illness, and loss, and these journeys are part of the stories I write about.​I’m a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based stress-reduction practitioner and an expressive writing coach & a budding psychotherapist. This path, though challenging, has given me a deep understanding of how the mind, body, and spirit intertwine when it comes to healing.​ My life hasn’t been a smooth ride, and I’ve encountered my fair share of struggles. From surviving a highly abusive, dysfunctional childhood, to battling Lyme disease + multiple co-infections and the invisible scars it left behind, to navigating the profound trauma of losing loved one(s) suddenly and unexpectedly, I’ve known heartache first-hand. I write because it’s been my lifeline and an integral part of my personal healing journey.
