Welcome to Cozy After All!
Hi friend, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Rachael. I’m a woman wearing many hats in the messy middle of life, raising a family and trying not to lose my sanity or sense of self in the process.
Life isn’t always picture perfect, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be cozy, relatable, and fulfilling. Cozy After All is about embracing the lovely, warm, comforting moments of life - even in the midst of the chaos of laundry piles, to-do lists, and school drop-offs every day.
Here you’ll find a mix of real-life coziness and experience: the kind that comes from a good book, a quiet moment, a delicious meal, lessons learned from grief, parenthood, and just being a person who doesn’t have it all figured out.
Whether through words or photos, I’m sharing thoughts on making life feel a little softer, a little slower, and a lot more you - even in the chaos of the messy middle of life.
In Cozy After All, I’ll share reflections on embracing everyday cozy—through the books you read, the meals you savor, the spaces you create, and the small rituals that bring comfort. It’s about slowing down, finding joy in the messy middle, and making life feel a little softer, no matter the season.
If you love a cozy life and don’t always have it together, you’re in the right place. I’d love for you to subscribe and join me in finding cozy moments in the everyday.

It's like getting a letter from a friend (remember those?). The Substack app makes this even better, giving you audio options for those days when your eyes need a break but your heart still wants to connect.

While I haven't opened subscriptions just yet, your pledges of support mean everything. They're little whispers saying "keep going" on days when the words don't come easily.
