introducing my substack: soft boundaries—my most intimate offering ever.

a gentle space filled with personal essays, soothing tools, and intimate insights designed to help us both softly explore the boundaries of our inner worlds.

when substack reached out last year, i wasn’t ready. my nervous system was shot, and LOOM was still all-consuming. but post-acquisition, something shifted. space returned, and with it came a creativity i hadn’t felt in ages. in the summer of 2019, i basically ghosted instagram. i never explained why—i couldn’t. but now, i finally can. soft boundaries picks up where i left off, and i’m excited (and terrified!) to open up, get messy, and find some catharsis together.

expect personal essays, a annual book club, an "ask erica" column, IRL events, and “soothers”: rigorously vetted products, practices, and places that have personally helped me keep going.

if you’ve ever saved anything i’ve shared on instagram or found meaning in my past work, my substack is built from that same energy—but freer and deeper.

i hope you’ll subscribe—can’t wait to share this with you and anyone looking for a little more softness.

💙💚💜❤️🧡💛🤎💙💚💜❤️🧡💛🤎💙💚💜❤️🧡💛🤎

for your consideration:

1. is god is • gorgeous. messy. supernatural. furious. go see it!in a theater! also thrilled to have this t-shirt in my closet.

2. @iliabeauty skin blur concealer • i am barely a makeup person, which explains my obsession with this product. doubles as foundation and somehow goes on like skincare and then just… sets itself.

3. @farahomidibeauty • another recommendation from someone who doesn’t really wear makeup. the essential eye compact makes me look like i tried in under two minutes.

4. @trinitymouzon new cookbook • i’ve known trinity for years, and it’s been beautiful watching her build @golde. her book feels like an invitation back into home cooking without overwhelm. also: the food is delicious.

5. @sofiepavittface • new scrub is sublime. it'll be a once a week thing for me, because i'm not a big physical exfoliation girlie but it’s a verrrry nice addition to my routine.

6. @mercuryfi • best banking experience i’ve ever had. clean ux/ui, fully digital, neurodivergent-friendly, plus they send gorgeous ceramics and dad hats.

7. @perelelhealth • daily resilience complex: lactoferrin hive rise. i could write an entire thesis about what lactoferrin has done for my skin, immune system, and gut health. honestly, i probably will. i used to just take pills but i'm loving scooping this into my coffee.

geeked that @graziausa dressed me up in hermès and included me—alongside a few other incredible women as west coast culture shapers.

i’m especially tender that this moment is in PRINT. in our hyper-digital world, printed matter is a TREAT. also, @luxpascal_ on the cover adds an extra layer of tenderness. visibility is an antidote to the bigoted landscape that's closing in on us.

i’ve been a bit quieter lately, but there’s ALOT in motion. excited to share more soon. 🍈

“Monogamy isn’t something you secure through performance. It’s something two people decide before the performance begins.”

In her first essay for Unbothered, @ericachidi writes about the myth that the more we give, the more we earn the right to monogamy—and why that belief falls apart, even in relationships that appear to have everything. Read the full essay at the link in bio.

i can’t remember the last time i was THIS busy, but every day even if only for a few seconds — i find myself resourcing from the day we went to see sister dreamer by @summaeverythang

it was one of those ethereal l.a. days where one thing folds into the next, the weather is forgiving, time doesn’t feel particularly important, so you drive really slow with the windows down.

sister dreamer does exactly what exceptional public art is meant to: it mobilizes you. it invites you somewhere new and, if you’re lucky, reminds you of your scale within the larger order of things. i'm certain that’s why i find myself reaching back toward it for something: perspective, steadiness, wonder.

if you haven’t seen it yet and you’re in LA... go take it in. it's a gift. also special thanks to @em.oh.en.eye.cue.you.ee for making sure @vatanashaw and i didn’t miss it. 𓂀 👁️⃤ 𓊎 ✨

In our most recent @thecyclereport post we’re interviewing someone whose dynamic, boundary-pushing work we’ve been inspired by for years, Cora Council member @ericachidi.

Visit our Substack to hear Erica’s insights on what a “normal” period actually means and why learning to interpret the signals your body gives you is a powerful tool for long-term health.

i’ve been thinking a lot about coherence. how to protect it, how to build it, and how not to lose ourselves as authoritarianism tightens its grip.

this quote is from my latest essay, “building coherence,” where i unpacked what i’ve been reading, watching, and doing to disrupt my scrolling habit and get context for how we got here (and where things might be going).

connecting the dots has helped me steady my nervous system and boosted my capacity to show up for myself and others. i hope it helps you too. link in bio. 🤎

@lindseyvonn was the perfect subject for my very first profile piece. media and communications was one of my majors in college, so i know 18-year-old me would be proud that i finally got to write one of these—especially because of how much i loved reading them growing up.

what’s most compelling about lindsey is her discipline to her craft, and her immunity to negativity. since 2023, i’ve been consulting for nike innovation, and it’s given me a deeper understanding of the female athlete mindset—the grit it takes to achieve even a fraction of what she has and to be doing it at 41, post a titanium knee replacement? extraordinary.

i hope you’ll take a moment to read the piece, and to watch the winter olympics to cheer her on for her very last run. link is in the usual place and thanks @selfmagazine for the opportunity.

start the year close to nature. the kind that pushes you into awe and forcibly alters your mental state. somewhere time stretches.

our time at @mii_amo_spa offered that and more. wrapping out the year here was THE best decision i’ve made in a long time. between the daily bodywork, the chromatic therapy of being enveloped in red rocks, misty mornings, delicious food, equine therapy, topped off with a full moon in cancer? 10/10. no notes.

well…except this: i’m coming back here this fall to teach a really special retreat. if you want to hear more when it's announced, pop over to the link in my bio.
