Create, Launch, and Grow Your Community on Substack
Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to accelerate the growth of your current publication on Substack, this is where clarity meets momentum.
In this live + recorded workshop, you’ll receive profitable strategy and step-by-step ongoing support to help you build your Rising Substack.
Less noise. More meaning. Real momentum.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin trying to do it all—create, market, post, promote—and now the idea of learning another platform feels like too much, I get it. You're not alone.
But something about Substack is calling to you.
This is more than a three-hour workshop. This is your entire content ecosystem, laid out with clarity and intention with monthly support included, no membership or extra fees.
You’ll get profitable strategy and step-by-step support to build your Rising Substack in a way that feels aligned, spacious, and sustainable.
I’ll guide you through how to create a marketing rhythm that supports both your business and your nervous system so that showing up becomes something you actually want to do.
And because Substack is always evolving, you’ll receive ongoing access to Press Publish Club's monthly guidance to grow with the platform, not behind it.
No burnout. No overthinking. Just steady, grounded momentum built post by post alongside the community.
xo, Carla
PS: I’ve been helping clients and brands build and grow their Substack newsletters since 2021. I’ve had the honor of supporting eight Rising Substacks, including my own.

There’s nothing that can’t be solved
"There’s no chance you could work with Carla and not see any results. She is the kind of person that won’t rest until she helps you. Her nature is a helper to the core and when you mix that with her level of knowledge and hustle there’s nothing that can’t be solved." — Melanie Kluger, Artist
The Workshop is for you if...
- You’re a creative or entrepreneur feeling stretched thin. You're exhausted by content demands and can't imagine learning yet another platform—but there’s something about Substack that feels aligned. You’re ready to build your newsletter with intention.
- You want clear guidance and real support while setting up your Substack. That includes adding podcast, audio, or video content—without spending hours trying to figure it all out alone. Substack isn’t intuitive, and you shouldn’t have to struggle through it.
- You’re ready to shift how you show up online. The way you’ve built your presence in the past isn’t working anymore. Maybe you've already stepped away from platforms like Instagram or Facebook—yes, there's a path forward here too!
- You’re tired of creating content that no one sees. In this program, you’ll learn how to market your publication and grow your audience with strategies that actually get your content seen.
- You want a reset and a clear plan to move forward. Each week includes dedicated coworking time so you can apply what you learn immediately, with support every step of the way.
- You have valuable content scattered across platforms. Now is the time to bring it all together. Use Substack to share your voice, reach a new audience, and build a connected, engaged community.
