Who this training is for

You’re exhausted and drained and can’t handle another platform but know there is something about the energy of Substack, so you want to intentionally create your newsletter and build on the platform.
You’re ready for a shift in how you’ve been building your presence, and what you’ve done for years is no longer working for you. PS: Even a poppy seed of interest counts!
You haven't implemented what you wanted to do yet this year. Perhaps, you wanted to get into a regular posting schedule for Instagram but can't bring yourself to do it.
You know you want to have a sustainable and intentional way to grow your newsletter instead of focusing on externally owned social media platforms.
You just want to press the reset button. We hear you and will guide you along the way. Plus you have a built-in coworking session to implement what you learn.
