Behind The Honey

Hi, I’m Alexis.
Writer. Single mother. Follower of Christ — even when I still have questions.
This space wasn’t born from certainty. It was born from surrender.

I started Honey for the Hollow because I couldn’t find a place that held the ache and the hope at the same time — a space that honored both the sacred and the unspoken.
Motherhood didn’t come easy for me. Not because I don’t love my son — I do, wildly — but because I walked through it alone. Pregnant, heartbroken, and determined to give him everything, even when I had nothing left in me.

I didn’t find Jesus in a church pew or in a crisis. I found Him in the slow rebuild. In the nap-time prayers, the postpartum silence, the mornings I didn’t know how I’d make it through the day — and somehow did.

This isn’t a mommy blog.
This isn’t a devotional.
This is a middle place — a hollow — where women like me (and maybe you) are figuring out how to heal, how to believe again, and how to mother with tenderness even when our own hearts are tired.

I write for the ones holding it together with a whisper and a breath.
For the ones learning to say yes to a God they’re still learning to trust.
For the ones searching for honey in the hollow places.

You’re welcome here.
Even in your unraveling.
Especially there.
