I started a newsletter on Substack this year after years of wanting to get back into content creation. I'm forcing myself to just put my writing out there without overthinking or being overly critical. It's been fun so far.

Congrats on your book and merch launch 🫶🏽

Thank you! Even when I "know it" it is so hard to do it. I appreciate the reminder and the power behind that reminder.

Yes, very much practicing "what would I tell a friend?" and focusing on being a friend to myself!

I finally decided to give this “substack” a spin and I admit this read was inspiring and soothing. This is my confirmation to start my community and writing my blogs despite my fears, or urges to get this blog thing right.
