🖤 You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

Most trauma survivors don’t believe healing is possible for someone like them.
Not because they’re weak — but because they’ve tried, and it hasn’t worked yet.

Underneath it all, what they’re really feeling is disconnected — from themselves, from the people they used to trust, from any real sense of meaning or belonging.

I Am Michael Glenn is for the ones who are stuck in that place.

The ones who are still carrying more than they can name.
The ones who wake up every day and keep going — even when they don’t know why.
The ones who need a voice that doesn’t flinch from the hard stuff.

You won’t find quick fixes here.
You won’t get performative positivity.
You will find truth. Grit. And a little bit of grace.

📬 What you’ll get each week

This isn’t a newsletter about having it all together.
It’s about learning to live — really live — even when everything falls apart.

I write about:

  • Reclaiming your life after trauma

  • Faith and fear — and the space between

  • Grief, love, loneliness, and courage

  • What healing actually looks like (hint: it’s not linear)

  • Small, sacred victories — like getting out of bed when the world keeps beating you down

You’ll get raw stories from someone who's been through it.

You’ll get tools that help you reconnect with who you are — and who you’re still becoming.

You’ll get reminders that you’re not alone, and you never were.

🧍‍♂️ Who this is for

I write for:

  • The ones who are tired of pretending they’re fine

  • The ones who can’t remember the last time they felt safe in their own mind

  • The ones who haven’t given up, but aren’t sure why they’re still trying

If that’s you… welcome. You’re not alone in this. Not anymore.

💰 Free or Paid — You Choose

If all you need is a voice that gets it, you can subscribe for free. You’ll get every public letter in your inbox — no paywall, no pressure.

But if my writing helps you:

  • Breathe a little easier

  • Think a little deeper

  • Feel a little more connected

… and you want more tools, deeper prompts, or just to support this work — you can become a paid subscriber for $8/month or $80/year. (Prices will go up sometime in Q3 to $10/month and $100/year.)

You’ll get:

  • A sense of belonging to something slow, soft, and real

  • Weekly AI prompts to help you reconnect with your inner voice

  • A private group chat for the ones who are still trying, still becoming

The group chat is low-pressure and high-trust. You can show up as you are — no need to post, perform, or explain. Just read, reflect, or share when something stirs. You’re not alone in this.

Healing is hard — especially when you feel disconnected from everything that once made life make sense.

That’s why I write. That’s why this space exists. Let’s walk this road together.
