My mother succumbed to cancer, thankfully dying in her sleep. This album is a reflection of my thoughts and feelings surrounding her death.

If this resonated

The Quiet Half is where I write most of this kind of thinking. A midweek essay, a weekend digest of what's worth reading. Free, twice a week. Sign up below.

If you'd rather have it in book form, I have fifteen books across psychology, neurodivergence, and Đà Lạt-set fiction, plus conversation card sets and an audio course. Each is available on Amazon — or, for paid Substack subscribers at US$90/year, the whole library comes included.

If you've read a few of these now and want to talk about something specific to you — neurodivergence, masking at work, the thing you've half-named but haven't said out loud — that's a different conversation. Email me at lee@mindblownpsychology.com.
