“This is what matters most, being together in spirit, helping and letting people help us. We are a complicated species, and keeping things simple when possible seems to work best for us.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
Proud to share my latest piece and second article for TIME magazine on collective grief.
Thanks to my editors for letting me report on this and to my mentors @Susanshapironet and @PeterMountford for your support.

"Many people feel as though they know them personally because of the meaningful impact they've had on their lives," writes Lisa McCarty time.com/article/2026/09/18/…
Thank you for sharing my article @treatmyocd!
When @noahkahanmusic shared that he was diagnosed with OCD at 28, many people saw themselves in his story—including journalist Lisa McCarty.
In a powerful new piece, Lisa reflects on her own delayed OCD diagnosis and how both she and Noah experienced symptoms long before they had language for what was happening.
It’s an important reminder that OCD doesn’t always look like stereotypes, and why awareness is important.

These scattered brown and yellow leaves reminded me of messy words strewn across the page in a sh*tty first draft.
