Hi, I’m Lana! A US Navy veteran, bipolar daydreamer, and woman in transit. I write to make sense of the in-between: the stillness after storms, the ache before clarity, the strange beauty of being both broken and blooming.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between versions of yourself, or your mind is a sanctuary and a battefield, you’re not alone. Welcome to Letters from Lana! A soft launching for those still learning how to live.
A gentle note delivered to your inbox once in a while.
