Back of House
who’s baking and how to stay in the loop
There’s a strange kind of clarity that lives between one life chapter ending and another beginning.
It’s not clean. It’s not obvious. It’s not comfortable. But it’s sacred.
“Liminal” comes from the Latin limen, meaning threshold. It’s the space between — after the first door closes but before the next one opens. The moment in a hallway with no name. The breath you take before saying what you mean. The pie cooling on the windowsill you’re not sure you belong near anymore.
Why Pie?
Because life’s transitions — even the messy, unresolved ones — are made of stories. Shared. Savored. Cut into uneven slices. Left out for someone who might show up late.
The “pie” is the moment of grace inside the in-between: a gesture of care, a symbol of nourishment, a bit of sweetness offered in a season of uncertainty.
“Words are... our most inexhaustible source of magic.”
Who's Here

I’m David. I’ve been a psychologist for over 20 years, helping people navigate uncertainty, meaning-making, and inner change.
But I've also spent my life drawn to storytelling — not the kind that wraps things up, but the kind that names what’s real and gives us just enough light to take the next step.
LiminalPie is where I gather the kinds of stories that don’t have clean endings, just meaningful moments. This is an experiment in attention, in care, and in memory.
Stay in the Loop
I don’t send regular newsletters. I send real ones, when something meaningful is ready to be shared.
You’ll hear from me:
- When new journeys are released
- When new micro stories land
- When there’s something worth inviting you into
That might be once a month.
It might be three times in a week during a launch.
But it will always be thoughtful, and never spammy.
