BREAK: Write Your Divorce Story

Join Our Community on Substack

In a circuitous way. I have always loved to write. I started writing stories in elementary school and was a devoted pen pal to a friend who moved to Norway when I was in 4th grade. I wrote for my junior high newsletter, but I was pre-med in college because that’s what my immigrant parents wanted. I switched to art history and worked at an art museum for years—my favorite part of the job was writing explanatory labels. I made the switch to journalism in my 30s after realizing the “making rich people happy” part of my chosen career did not align with my values.

Meet Sejal Shah

I grew up always reading and later in middle school and high school, writing. The need to write only grew stronger as I grew up and writing became the grounding practice of my life. I see writing as a fundamental, grounding spiritual practice as important to me as yoga and meditation and walking—even more important sometimes.
