About Me

I’m Rhi Axtell (they/them). Welcome to my blog.

At the start of 2025, I told myself I would start to live a slower life. I wanted to observe the world around me, and reflect more on what was going on inside my head as well. It started with quitting social media, and then sort of spiralled out from there. I started getting a bit anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist. I started gardening. I bought a book on sewing (in French – it’s a slow read).

This blog, which started out as a merciless marketing tool to sell my books, has evolved into a collection of moments from my life.

As a result, it’s a bit all over the place. Here and there, without much focus. As a marketing tool, it is quite rubbish. I don’t even share these posts anywhere (which raises the question: how did you end up here?)

That being said, I like it. I like what the blog is. I like what it represents: me.

So yes, I’m a writer, I’m studying to be a counsellor, and death educator. I have a background in communications, web development, and writing for wellbeing. Yes, I have books, and yes, I would like if you bought them.

But at the end of the day, I’m just me, nothing more, nothing less. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I look like this, although I don’t always have a blanket over my head.

(If you’re interested in exploring my other writing, you will find a list of my publications here)

I’m Rhi

I’m just a writer trying to live slower and be more observant of my feelings.

I am also a bit silly.

This blog is a mishmash of all that.
