What feels different after a summer break and trying on a new Substack for size...

Thank you Kate Harvey, Kendall Marie Platt 🌱, Claire Machado, Nance Scott, Jenny Karlsson, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.Sparklers... quick summary from my live… I deleted the Substack app the entire summer (still deleted, if I’m honest). I took a break then took Sparkle down to two newsletters a month instead of my usual cadence, same depth of content but flagging the archive more… And I said something out loud I want to say here too. My Substack growth had genuinely slowed to the point where I wouldn’t have had a business if I was relying on it alone. So I made a call - mastered content creation - grew my Instagram by over 2,000 followers this summer, something I’ve never really done before, and leaned into well-aligned summits instead of waiting for the algorithm to catch up adding 500 subs to my list.None of that is a Substack failure story more what building this actually looks like some seasons.If something in your setup feels stagnant right now, whether that’s your cadence, your day, or where you’re putting your energy... you don’t need my blueprint or anyone else’s. Change it?See what happens?Claire ✨Join our joyful growth to Substack bestseller challenge - on all of this week… Turn the Page Retreat - next weekend… This is a public episode.
