About the writer:
JULIE ALDEN CULLINANE is a Boston-based writer and Human Resources executive. Her recently published chapbook Ghosts Only I Can See (October 2024) explores womanhood, motherhood, CPTSD, and neurodivergence and sex. Published widely in literary journals, she writes with insight drawn from her roles as a mother, neurodivergent woman, and HR leader in hopes to help and inspire other women. She is currently in the middle of a mid-life crisis. It takes up most of her time.
