Hi Sparklers,
This is a post of three pieces.
There’s a reason for that! 1
✨
1. A QUESTION - How are you guys going with audio here? All thoughts welcome!
A year ago I started a podcast here at
.I’ve written about how and how it’s all gone here;
I’m in the middle of season two and I’ve slowed down the posting pace because it’s a lot of work and there’s no rush.
The podcasts are ready and I’m excited for you to listen! I was feeling some resistance to posting and I leant into it. I took out my journal and I worked it out…
✨ 📖 ✨
The podcast needed support, more support, more energy, more vibes…it needed to be held, it needed a sponsor. 😬
Turned out not just one BUT allll my 💎Diamond members✨!
So I invited them to sponsor the podcast for free. Well as part of their year long journey with me. So far 11 of them have said YES!
What this means in real time is they will have their name and Substack publication hyper linked on every single episode of season two that goes out and I’ll tag the back catalogue with
’s help! Yay!Baby Steps
I’m ambitious and one day I’d love ONE or maybe TWO ‘right fit’ sponsors for the podcast to help fund the admin, the art work, the marketing, the graphics but I don’t need that now.
What I need is more support on the journey to get there! To feel held, to feel like I can celebrate others on the journey too.
✨

I like to see Sparkle on Substack as a pick and mix (bag of mixed sweets/ candy). You get to choose your unique way with the platform and what it is you want to do here. There are always at least three options, usually many more and on your own publication the same is true. 🍬
Chat bot says; “When you upgrade, you'll be charged a prorated amount based on the remaining time of your current subscription, and your renewal date will shift to the date you made the upgrade. For example, if you upgrade halfway through your annual plan, you'll pay half the price difference to the founding member plan. You'll receive a payment receipt email detailing the prorated amount(read more).”
