hi! 🌱

I’m Kristen L Goldberg (she/her), I’m 27, a Leo sun/Virgo moon/Capricorn rising, and I’m so happy to have you here.

I’m a writer that creates soulful personal essays about my experience as a human trying to make sense of our physical and spiritual realities. I dive deep to investigate topics that enthuse me and excavate myself throughout the process to create gently researched essays that pique your curiosity and feel like a warm hug. My writing and self-expression have been my return to myself because when I write, I cannot hide from myself. Creating and sharing my art brings me into communion with my own soul, with other lovely beings, with the ever-changing seasons around me, and with the divine that guides my work.

My favorite color is green. My values are freedom, courage, curiosity, and connection. My favorite smells are incense, bonfires, wet pavement, and neoprene. My favorite compliment to receive is ‘you have great energy.’ I like floating in the ocean with my ears submerged, reading a book in the sun or under an overhang as it rains, wrapping words around subtle memories, baking loaf cakes, and touching moss.

You can connect with me on Instagram or good ol’ email.

what to expect 💫

I’m always 1) keenly observing life, 2) looking for ways to live more fully and more authentically, and 3) investing in my self growth––all of which serve as the foundation to my art. Through my Substack offerings, I share the insights I learn externally, through the amazing artists and authors that inspire me, as well as internally, through my personal life via my coaching work, introspection, spiritual journey, and creative practice. Think of my writing as food for the heart. 💞
