Why I’m Starting This Blog
Over the years, friends, coworkers, and even strangers have told me I should write more. Not just in passing, but with genuine conviction: “You’ve got stories to tell,” they say. “Your perspective is different, raw, honest, and needed.”
I guess I finally listened.
Living in Alaska; in all its wildness, quiet, and unforgiving beauty, has given me space to reflect, heal, and grow. But it’s not just about Alaska. It’s about everything: the roads I’ve taken, the people I’ve met, the pain I’ve survived, and the moments that have shaped me. Whether I’m hiking through the tundra, sharing coffee with an elder in a remote village, or processing life’s heavier lessons, there’s always something deeper underneath it all, something worth putting into words.
Yeah, I have the podcast, and I love the conversations, the laughs, and the raw, unfiltered dialogue. But writing? Writing hits different. It lingers. It slows you down. It gives you space to feel. To breathe. To sit with the weight of a moment longer than audio ever can.
People say I’m a great writer, but more importantly, I think I’ve become a better observer, of the world, of others, and of myself. And this blog is where I’ll share those observations. The adventures. The humor. The messiness. The big questions and the small victories.
So here we are.
This is Wildlydj: a space for the stories that don’t always get told, the thoughts that linger too long in the quiet, and the wild journey of becoming exactly who I am meant to be.
Thanks for joining me.
