Stitched Soul Excerpts
About Stitched Soul
Stitched Soul is my ongoing publication of essays, reflections, and spiritual writing. It’s where I explore the threads of ritual, identity, and transformation — weaving together the personal and the universal.
I publish Stitched Soul on Substack, where readers can subscribe to receive new essays directly in their inbox. Here on my site, you’ll find a few pieces that give a sense of the journey.
