The generosity in this piece is but a drop of what has come out of your entire body of work, and more than that, your presence and energy. I’ve always believed that the most valuable and radical thing we can do as online writers and creators is to be and show ourselves, not by oversharing , but with a spirit of interconnection. Congratulations on the year with much more to come. 💕

Congratulations on your one year anniversary! I always feel connected to your words and experiences. I enjoy seeing and hearing from you on IG and the podcast, but really connect with the deeper conversations that you share here. Reading this today is the push I needed to take a risk and start my own Substack. It’s scary, and maybe my family will be the only people who read it, but it will give me a space to share. Thank you!

Wow, you have come so far!

And you've made several impactful connections along the way.

I am a newer writer so this post answered many of the subconscious questions I had.

Congrats on 1 year, I can't wait to be able to write one of these posts!

I definitely have to check out one of those Substack Office Hours sessions it seems like a fun little party 😁

Thank you for this! I'm glad I followed @Dan Blank's Note message to find this article and your publication.

My website has a specific mission for carers & about-to-be carers. I find myself distracted by 'how to write better' because I'm more comfortable as a researcher, facilitator, marketer, and connector providing/offering ideas rather than crafting stories (It's also difficult to 'story' some of the raw carer experiences).

I'll try to switch off my analytical left brain and lean into the content and ideas I already have. I'll keep building, developing/writing. Hopefully, something resonates, and I can deliver 'value-added pieces' that carers are looking for - what I needed during the worst parts of the rollercoaster!

'The potential for immeasurable impact is beautiful' - is what I'll carry with me for a while
