The Story Behind As Told by Paula
I’m Paula.
For much of my life, I knew how to do the things that were expected of me—work hard, keep moving, solve problems, show up for others, and keep building.
What I didn’t always know was how to simply be.
Over time, I started questioning what success really meant, what peace looked like, and how much of my life was being shaped by habit, expectation, and constant motion.
As Told by Paula grew from that transition.
This is a space for honest reflections on identity, work, family, ambition, change, peace, and what it means to rediscover yourself when the old ways of living no longer fit.
I don’t believe there is one right way to live.
I do believe that sometimes a different perspective, a better question, or an honest story can help us see our own lives more clearly.
That is what I hope to offer here.
Release what no longer fits. Rediscover who you are. Rest in a life that feels like your own.
