HUMAN READINGS

Notes on human behavior.

Without distortion.

Human Readings explores how we make sense of ourselves, other people, and the experiences that shape us.

We assign meaning to what happens, build stories around it, and often mistake our first interpretation for the whole truth.

But what if there's more to the story? What if the behavior that confuses us, the feelings we can't resolve, or the experiences we keep returning to look different when we understand them another way?

Human Readings is an exploration of what we might be missing.

BESPOKE READINGS

personalized written interpretations of your situation

  • Sometimes something doesn't quite add up.

    A pattern you keep repeating. A situation that contradicts itself. Someone whose behavior you can't reconcile with what they say. An experience you keep turning over in your mind, hoping to understand it differently.

    A Bespoke Reading is a written interpretation of your specific situation. You tell me what's happening, and I examine the details, question the assumptions, and explore the underlying dynamics that might offer a different way of understanding it.

    Not a formula. Not a verdict. A closer look at what might be happening beneath the surface—and what you might be missing.

  • A personalized written reading that acts as an interpretation of your specific situation.

  • Within 48 hours of placing the order.

The Overthinker's Breakup Survival Guide

A 150-page guide for the person whose brain turned a breakup into a full-time job.

Not another healing framework. Not instructions to "feel your feelings." This is a behavioral map of what's actually happening when you can't stop looping, can't stop analyzing him, and can't understand why doing all the right things isn't working.

Because the problem isn't that you're not doing the work. The problem is that you're doing the wrong work, and nobody's explained why.

Tools for the overthinker. Real ones.
