NOTES

In A Little Off. Always On., Mora Brinkman shares stories only her best friend, therapist, and priest have heard. After years of prioritizing internalized societal expectations above her heart's desires, Brinkman's life checked all the boxes a "white, Christian, middle-class, almost middle-aged professional married woman" should want. But she was miserable, and no sound bath or therapy session could fix it. In this humorous collection of personal essays, Brinkman recalls cringe-worthy experiences of trying to fit in. Whether she is booking her boss's tanning appointments, dancing on the wrong side of a stage, or navigating starting a family, the author confronts feelings of frustration and shame. Follow along as she tunes into her authentic self and discovers that owning your "personal brand of weirdness" leads to rich and fulfilling experiences. If you always felt like an outsider or briefly lost your way, join Mora Brinkman in A Little Off. Always On. where she discovers the benefits of not trying to fit everyone else's expectations
