Hello, Beautiful.
You found your way here, and I’m so glad you did.
I’m Linzi Cora, and this is a space for big, bold storytelling.
If you think freely, feel deeply, and crave writing that puts words to the things we struggle to define or say out loud—you belong here.
I created this Substack to serve and center women.
I believe in the power of storytelling—to challenge, connect, and encourage. Stories help us make sense of the world. They help us see ourselves and each other more clearly. And I am always learning and growing into this power.
One thing to get familiar with here is Main Character Energy (MCE).
MCE is about owning your story, taking up space, and refusing to be a side character in your own life. It’s the confidence to step into your power, make bold choices, and live with intention—without waiting for permission.
It’s about recognizing that your life is the story you get to write—and deciding to be fully present in it.
This Substack is a byproduct of my MCE.
You can expect my posts to be deeply personal. Some are fiction. All of them are true in the ways that matter.

Two Streams of Content
1. 📖 No Small Parts (Essays & Personal Musings)
This is where I write for us—the women who refuse to shrink, play small, or wait for permission.
In No Small Parts, I write about what’s current for me—what I’m noticing in the world, the things I can’t stop thinking about. It’s mostly a real-time reflection on life as it unfolds, through my lens, in my voice. These two posts will give you a taste:
📅 If you want raw, moving perspectives on the world as I see it, this is your Sunday morning newsletter.
2. 🎭 Liv-ing (Fictional Stories with My Alter Ego, Liv)
This is where I write for me—and for anyone who loves a good story.
Liv is my alter ego. The stories I tell through her are inspired by my own lived experiences but exist in their own world.
Can’t wait? Start with The Angler—a 5-part serialized short story based on the art of catch-and-release dating.
✨ Liv-ing stories don’t follow a regular cadence; they’re published as inspired.
