I'm ​Pamela ​Houston

By day, I work for The Man. For much of the rest ​of the time, I think and write about how to live ​my best life using mindfulness and other ​therapeutic tools, including the ones I’m writing ​about in my new book (title TBD).


My life has gotten WAY BETTER since I started ​implementing these seven tools my therapist ​taught me, and I want to share them with you so ​you can live your best life too!

About Me

I’m a writer. I’ve always written. I won a college scholarship for a character study I wrote in high ​school. I wrote daily on a public diary website for more than a decade. I write lengthy, meaty, ​insightful comments on Reddit.


I hear, “You should be a writer!” or “You should write a book!” fairly frequently.


Well, I am a writer. And I am, finally, writing a book.


In the course of doing a Major Life Overhaul with my therapist in the last few years, I’ve discovered a ​better way of living by leveraging some simple, accessible tools my therapist helped me learn and ​refine, like mindfulness. Implementing these tools has completely changed the way I experience my ​life, and I’m so excited about it that I want to tell everybody!


I have finally found the book that has been within me all this time, and I want to share it with you.


When I’m not writing or thinking about writing, I enjoy going for drives in the convertible we bought ​during covid, traveling as often and as far as I can, photography, fashion, gadgets and gizmos, and ​living intentionally. After years of writing for business, I am still trying to bring the Oxford comma ​back into my life.


I live with my husband, a handful of kids, two dogs, and four cats in the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley ​in Virginia. You can contact me at pamelahoustonauthor@gmail.com.
