Words for the
Messy Middle

For women still becoming. Honest poetry and prose about struggle, strength, and finding home in the journey.

They said I'd missed my window,
that the soil had gone cold.
But I have learned
that some flowers need a longer dark
before they learn how to reach.

— from "Late Bloomer"

Hey, I'm Britt.

I'm the friend with the messy car, the growing hat collection, and a deep belief that it's never too late to become who you're supposed to be.

I write poetry and prose for women in the thick of it—the ones navigating divorce, career pivots, empty nests, and the beautiful chaos of reinvention. My words are for anyone who's tired of pretending they have it all together.
