Read It & Leap

Occasional dispatches from the other side of the lifequake — essays that take the small and ordinary moments of life and crack them open to find what's inside. Written for anyone standing on the brink of their own leap.

 The audio companion to the writing — Penny reading her own essays aloud, because some things need to be heard to be felt. No guests, no interviews, no hot takes. Just one woman's voice and whatever she figured out that week. 

 A book about coming home to your own body,  written for anyone who has spent years at war with it. Small steps toward something gentler: not a diet, not a fix, but a love letter. To the body that has carried you through everything, even when you weren't kind to it. 

A monthly gathering to be with whatever's holding you back. You don't have to be a writer. Most people here aren't. All you need is curiosity an.  Through guided reflection, we make space for the conversations that actually matter. How to trust yourself. When to act. When to let go. Come remember what you already know.
