The Rest Of Us

About the Substack

A place for the spiritually homeless. Traveling through trauma, de/reconstruction, and healing. Writing about it (and about writing) as I go. Watch for my debut memoir, coming spring 2025.

About Lauren Cibene

Writer and tenderfoot poet.
A thirty-something, doubtful-yet-hopeful Jesus person. Making my bed in the wilderness and writing my way through despair towards a better way.
