Why subscribe to this space?
When you subscribe to Landing Softly with Dr. Mariel, you’re making space to slow down, unclench your jaw, and feel a gentle emotional release.
This publication offers gentle, reflective letters that quiet the noise, both around you and within, and help you rediscover clarity, stillness, and a more mindful way of moving through the world.
Each note weaves in personal stories from my life…like tending to my garden or learning to pause at 40…and offers simple, grounding practices to support a life that feels more aligned, spacious, and unhurried.
Think of it as your soft landing place: a quiet reminder to notice, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.
When you subscribe, you’ll get access to an occasional newsletter of Landing Softly. Whether it's a reflection on creating quiet in a loud world, a story from my own journey toward balance, or a gentle reminder to take a breath—you’ll have a library of thoughtful, calming content to return to whenever you need a moment of respite.

You’ll be joining a community of thoughtful readers who are also looking for ways to slow down, stay grounded, and live with more ease. You’re welcome to share your thoughts in the comments, connect with others who are on a similar path, or simply read and reflect quietly. And if this space nourishes you, you can support it with a paid subscription—which helps me continue writing and building this space with care and intention.
A paid subscription will offer you weekly posts with sprinkles of personal reflections and healing practices, updated podcast episodes to my podcast, Break the Cycle, and monthly Tea Talks where we get to gather in community. A paid subscription helps to support my writing journey so that I can continue to show up for us. Thank you so much for your support.
