Healing Outloud is a collection of gentle, honest tools for people learning how to begin again — one page, one breath, one small step at a time.

Healing Outloud is a poetry-rooted project by Isaac Klinger, created for people learning to live honestly in the middle of recovery, change, and becoming themselves.

That isn’t a program.
It’s a practice of staying present with your own story — messy, unfinished, and real.

The Manifesto is where that practice begins.

The Middle

Most of life doesn’t happen at the beginning or the breakthrough. It happens in the Middle.

The Middle is the space between what was and what will be— where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet who you’re becoming.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s unpolished.

And it’s where most healing actually lives.

Healing Outloud exists for that space.

Everything you will find here — the books, the cards, the words — begin in the middle.

You dont have to have it figured out to be here. You can begin where you are!

Unfinished. Unfiltered. Unafraid.

Healing is rarely clean or linear.

It’s unfinished — because growth doesn’t arrive all at once.

It’s unfiltered — because pretending only delays the work.

And choosing to face it is unafraid — even when fear is present.

This project doesn’t aim to tidy the process.It makes room for it.

Why This Exists

Healing Outloud began as a way to stay alive on paper — and slowly became a way to live more fully off of it.

It’s for anyone who has ever felt behind, broken, or unsure how to begin. For people learning to trust their own voice again. For those carrying stories they don’t quite know how to hold.

These tools aren’t about fixing you.
They’re about meeting you where you already are.

Journals, cards, poems, and small objects you can touch — not to rush healing, but to keep you company while it happens.

What You’ll Find Here

You’ll find words for moments that are hard to name.
Poetry about addiction, anxiety, loss, and rebuilding.
Creative pieces meant to sit with you — not rush you forward.

Some of this becomes something you can hold: cards, journals, posters, and creative tools. all of it begins in the same place.

The middle.

You don’t need clarity to start.
You don’t need certainty to belong.

You just need to begin where you are.
