Two Truths

Personal essays sitting with the contradictions of family life

Substack Family Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Two Truths is a personal essay newsletter about the messier parts of family life, the contradictions that don't resolve into a tidy caption. Pieces tend to sit with two things being true at once: loving your kids and resenting the loss of your old life, feeling grateful and feeling trapped, that kind of tension.

It's written in first person and reads more like a diary than a service piece, so there isn't a neat takeaway at the end of every issue. For readers exhausted by parenting content that performs having it all figured out, that honesty is the draw.
