A fun, messy, honest, vulnerable, over-sharing holiday card you receive from your crazy auntie! The Overshare is aptly named. Writer Brittany Ballard, known as Baby Luck, doesn’t fear vulnerability and exposure and weaves it into her writing. The author is honest when discussing her emotions, be it something as minute as her stress over an incomplete garden, or as big as the lifelong battle with eating disorders - Brittany tells it how it is. She also frequently touches on life as a parent, not shying away from the trials and tribulations that it comes with. So if you’re looking for advice, or just trying to find someone’s writing you feel you can relate to, be sure to check out The Overshare.
