I choose my daughter over my parents and their god Rebelle Society Author "My parents and I had a series of arguments over their religious beliefs, my daughter’s orientation, and my belief that her orientation wasn’t about them. It ended our relationship." Read More

This Is How We Heal The Child Rebelle Society Contributing Author "Every approach that we can think of feels like a redundant exercise in wallowing. Exacerbating the issue by poking at a sliver and inflaming it, because we don’t have a blade to cut it out. Just talk? Tell the stories? To what end? Self-care? Bubble baths and exercise and healthy food? Well, yes, these things help, but they are often a stop-gap that really just equates to pain management." Read More

About

Mira Hadlow is an outspoken Canadian writer, self proclaimed romantic, and champion for the underdog.

After an abusive relationship rendered her permanently deaf, she turned to writing as a path to healing and has become passionate about being a voice for the voiceless. Mira believes in ferocious vulnerability, unapologetic truth, and bravely facing ones shadow side. She believes the path to healing is found by learning to sit with -and make room for- grief, fear, and sorrow.

Mira is a quirky, creative soul and you can usually find her renovating a kitchen, losing her cup of coffee for the forty seventh time, or picking a fight with an authority figure.

"As a reader, as a writer, as a human, I am fortunate to know the words of Mira Hadlow. As Muses Burn by Mira Hadlow is a fresh offering of fire. A blessing. And she, too, knows this blessing. In the author’s own words of power, “I have been most blessed by what was meant to destroy me”.As Muses Burn is a gift of love, and Mira Hadlow’s words define love for me."

"The Emily Dickenson of our era; a post that has long been waiting for someone to fill it. The titles are graceful and precise. The words deliver on promises made by the title. The meanings wrapped in a perfect harmony of thought and feeling. Not a breath or syllable wasted, not a sigh unfelt. Emily [Dickenson] said just enough and no more and Mira shares that trait with her."
