Ten years ago I started a blog I was too scared to put my name on. Now Diary of a Flopping Fish is an LLC — still one woman, no ads, no AI articles, no data collection.

What started as creative writing became a space for survivors of coercive control to have a voice.

The fish is still flopping. Just forward now.

Trauma creates change you don't choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.

Your nervous system doesn't heal just because time has passed. It heals when something safe and loving happens enough times for it to finally believe... it's over now.
