Makayla May

Makayla May writes for people who feel behind, overwhelmed, or quietly unsure if they're doing life right. As the second oldest of eight kids, she learned early how to be responsible-and later how exhausting that can be. She liveswith severe anxiety, an ongoing financial learning curve, and a strong preference for solitude, books, and staying home whenever possible.

Makayla holds a bachelor's degree in communications, though she jokes she'd happily become a hermit if it were financially viable. She's a famously distracted driver (blame car karaoke and emotional reactions to Midnight Burger), a devoted reader, and someone who believes self-acceptance doesn't require having life figured out first.

Her writing is honest, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that you're allowed to still be learning.
