ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I'm Ava. I write books about slowing down enough to actually live your life.

I spent a decade in marketing rooms, optimizing other people's mornings before I had a gentle one of my own. In 2019, after a quiet burnout I didn't have the language for yet, I started writing a Sunday letter to a few hundred people about the small things that were helping me feel like a person again.

That letter became Becoming Unhurried. Then The Small Brave Things. Then Quiet Mornings. Today, more than 250,000 readers around the world meet me on Sundays for what one of them generously called "a long exhale in your inbox."
