anxiety and affirmations – Hi, I'm Kaylie.

Fellow multipotentialites and hummingbirds, I am glad you are here. Expressing yourself through multiple mediums and positions is often vulnerable and isolating, but you are not alone. You belong to you. And have a community here. This website is a safe space to share successes and struggles as we remix life through many artforms and disciplines. Fellow multi-passionates, if you’d like to share, apply for a free spotlight where we’ll talk about art, work, and life. You’ll get a special feature story on my blog and an Instagram post.

I’m Kaylie Longley, a community archivist, librarian, word nerd, endurance runner, and mixed media artist. I’m geeky about the cosmos and coffee and love connecting with creative, can-do humans. In 2026, I’m drafting a book on the opportunity cost of habit change, Omit to Commit and also striving to understand intersections (my word for 2026) in who I am, what I do, and what/who/where I value. This year, I publish posts every 10 days on the blog. Let’s connect on LinkedIn.
