Unsubscribe From Healing Texts
Healing Texts was built to lighten the load, not to pile onto it. If it’s no longer serving you, that’s okay. Do what you need. You’ve got my full respect.
Leaving Healing Texts should feel as easy as reading one. You can step away without friction, explanation, or follow-ups.
Choose the option that matches how you receive the messages.
1. If You Receive Text Messages. U.S. and Canada only.
Reply STOP to the number sending you Healing Texts. That single message removes you from the SMS list automatically. No replies after that. No questions. It ends there.
2. If You’re Subscribed by Email. Worldwide.
Open any Healing Texts email. Scroll to the bottom and click Unsubscribe. Confirm when prompted. Daily emails stop immediately.
3. If You’re Subscribed Through Substack. App or Web.
Open the Healing Texts Substack page. Go to your account settings. Select Manage Subscription. Choose Unsubscribe and confirm.
Once you do, messages stop. No follow-ups. No pressure.
I remember the evening well. Cold, restless, and alive with the kind of wind that feels like it’s carrying secrets you’ll never know. The air smelled of rain, faint and lingering, and I was parked in my usual spot.
Three years of messages. Thousands of words sent into the ether. Each Healing Text shaped as a small point of contact for someone moving through a storm.
Gratitude poured in. Stories, too. Raw and unfiltered, strangers trusting me with pieces of their pain, their triumphs. But as the texts grew, so did the realization, not everyone stays on the same path forever. Even the support that once felt like a lifeline can become too much, no longer fitting the moment they’re in.
That’s when it hit me. The act of stepping away needs to be as gentle as stepping in. Unsubscribing had to be simple. No guilt. No friction.
Let’s get one thing straight: your well-being comes first. Always.
Whether you’re stepping away to focus on personal growth, untangling the knots of your mental health, or just rethinking your relationship with the digital clutter—unsubscribing is your call. No guilt. No judgment.
Healing Texts was built to lighten the load, not to pile onto it. If it’s no longer serving you, that’s okay. Do what you need. You’ve got my full respect.
Leaving Healing Texts should be as easy as reading one. No drama. No hoops to jump through.
Here’s how it works, customized to how you’ve been getting these messages:
1. If You Receive Text Messages (U.S./Canada Only):
Steps to Unsubscribe:
Reply with “STOP”: Simply text the word “STOP” to the number you’ve been receiving Healing Texts from. This single word will automatically remove you from the SMS list. It’s that easy—no questions asked, no fuss.
2. If You’re Subscribed via Email (Worldwide):
Steps to Unsubscribe:
Click the “Unsubscribe” Link: At the bottom of any Healing Texts email, you’ll find an “Unsubscribe” link. Click on it, and you’ll be taken to a confirmation page.
Confirm Your Choice: Follow the prompts to confirm your decision. Once done, you’ll no longer receive daily messages in your inbox.
3. If You’re Using Substack (App or Web):
Steps to Unsubscribe:
Visit the Substack Page: Go to the Healing Texts Substack page via the app or website.
Manage Your Subscription: Look for the “Manage Subscription” option in your account settings.
Click “Unsubscribe”: Follow the prompts to confirm your unsubscription. This will remove you from the daily message list and cease any further communications.
Life shifts. Needs change. That’s just how it goes. If the time ever feels right to reconnect, Healing Texts will be here. No questions asked. No judgment. The door stays open, always.
Subscribing again is easy. Effortless. Like picking up where we left off.
Your path is yours alone, and Healing Texts is just one step along the way. Whether you stay or go, I’m grateful. Grateful for the chance to be even a small part of your story.
Unsubscribing doesn’t have to be a goodbye. It can be a pause. A moment to breathe, to reflect, to figure out what you need next.
Whatever direction you take, I hope you find strength in it. Hope in it. Healing in it. And if this is where we part ways for now, know this: you’re never as alone as you feel.

Beyond Healing Texts
Some people want to stay with the messages as they are. Others want a way to carry the work a little further, off the phone and into daily life. If that’s you, there are a few options available.
Books — Wood Island Books gathers the posts that resonated most with readers and puts them into books for people who want to spend more time with the writing.
Journals — Designed for reflection and integration, these journals offer space to write through the thoughts that don’t surface easily, with prompts meant to support honesty rather than performance.
Merchandise — Hoodies, shirts, and journals created as simple reminders to keep going. Practical pieces meant to carry the tone of this work into everyday life.
I also write in two longer form newsletters that explore different sides of this work.
Healing Thoughts — A reflective newsletter focused on steadiness, regulation, and everyday healing, with writing meant to slow things down and name what often goes unnoticed.
Shadow Thoughts — A darker companion newsletter that explores anger, grief, identity, and the parts of healing that don’t fit neatly into optimism.
There’s no expectation to follow everything.
These are simply options, available when you want to take the work off the screen and into your hands, your routines, or your inner life.
