Hi, I’m Kelly! After leaving (or at least pausing?) my career in the corporate world, I’m building a portfolio career and pursuing goals I’ve put on the back burner for too long. Life’s too short for wasted dreams.
The Tea Library is a place for slowing down, settling in, and savoring words and—of course—tea. It’s for anyone who:
Sees life as an exercise in vulnerability
Romanticizes every day
Is pursuing big dreams
Is reinventing themselves or navigating new phases of life
Finds joy in travel and art
Loves coming home as much as traveling
The name refers to my favorite room in my house. Others might call it a sunroom, but I finally realized I can call things whatever I want. So, it’s my tea library, and it’s perfect.
When you leave The Tea Library, I hope you’ll feel inspired in the same way you might feel after connecting with a friend—that’s what we’re doing, after all.
Pull up a chair and get cozy—I’m so glad you’re here.
We’ll explore growth, reinvention, relationships, travel, culture, and career though:
Personal essays
Friends of the Library Series: Q&A interviews
Tea Library Book Stacks Series: Book reviews and roundups
The Tea Library is mostly free, but some things will be paywalled. Whether you’re a free or paid subscriber, I’m so happy you’re here.
Free subscribers have access to:
All free posts (usually 2-3 per month)
Paid subscribers have access to:
Additional posts and resources that go beyond free content (travel itineraries, more personal essays, etc)
Full archive of posts
All my gratitude—your support makes this possible
I write two newsletters: Hope No One Reads This is my love letter to creative vulnerability.
