Over Coffee is a personal writing space for romanticizing real life. As a sentimental writer, I’ve always loved to romanticize, but I’ve also now lived with anxiety long enough to know that real life isn’t only made of beautiful moments. Somewhere between those two truths, I learned that you can romanticize life exactly as it is: the good, the hard, and everything in between. So this is where I share notes on life, growth, beauty, and all the other things that make up #BeingHuman.
You’ll find reflections on routines, books, anxiety, joy, relationships, travel, life’s lessons and the every day small moments. Sometimes these take the form of metaphors about coffee. Sometimes they look like learning how to sit with fear. This space holds many kinds of thoughts, because life does, too.
This website began more than nine years ago as a lifestyle blog called Coffee with Jordan Lee. Over time, I realized what mattered most to me wasn’t what I was wearing or what products I was using, but what I was noticing. What I was learning. What I was absorbing, internalizing and putting back out into the word. So, as you can see, this space recently evolved into something more intentional. Fashion, wellness, and travel still live here, but now as part of a larger story.
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Jordan. I live in Brooklyn, New York with my husband Ryan and our dog named Cannoli and I’m usually always within arm’s reach of a coffee.
If you’ve found your way here, I’d love to invite you to stay. As I used to say, “pour a cup and let’s catch up!” Now, I look forward to creating even deeper connections through honest conversation and reflections on life, which in my opinion, are best shared Over Coffee. ♡
