Thanks For Joining Me

Life doesn’t come with a set of rules and in our world things get messy and chaotic.

You want to be happy, have great relationships, love your job, and feel good about yourself, but there isn’t a map to get you there.

I know that feeling well. For me, writing is a way to sort through the mess, ask questions—sometimes taboo ones—and maybe find some answers.

Thinking is just Better on Paper.

My name is Kelly Eden. I’m a working writer living in New Zealand. Just before I turned 40, I left my marriage of 16 years and found myself poor, broken-hearted, having panic attacks, and feeling lost. I thought I’d done everything “right” and my life was still in a mess.

One thing had always pulled me through tough times—writing. So I leaned in.

I wrote and researched my way through trauma and chaos and into a life I wanted for my kids and I.

A year and a half later I was in the healthiest relationship of my life and got engaged.

Life is full of ups and downs. The important thing is that we keep learning and writing helps me do just that.

I’ve been a professional writer for magazines and online for over 16 years, but in the last 6 years I’ve been exploring deeper writing and more meaningful topics. Better on Paper is where I share some of my thoughts.

I hope you’ll join me and we can navigate this life and learn together.

Kelly
