I am Michael Glenn

🖤 You’re not broken — you’re becoming.

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

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 big, heaping spoonful 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 around you is falling apart.

Each week, you’ll get raw stories from someone who's going through it.

You’ll get insight that helps 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 newsletter in your inbox — no paywall, no pressure.

But if my writing helps you…

You can become a paid subscriber for $5/month or $50/year. You won’t get anything but the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting my work. But your support will help to keep me going…

And this is important work in today’s society.

I’m gonna keep writing every week, either way.

And I hope you’ll keep reading.

💡 Final takeaway

We can’t get where we want to go without relying on other people for help — and sometimes, asking for that help is the scariest thing of all.

That’s why I write. That’s why this space exists: so that you and I can learn how to ask for help.

Help is out there. We just need to feel safe enough to ask.

I hope you feel safe. You deserve to.
