“Our obsession with achievement is a trap.”

Emma Gannon

Hi all

Happy Sunday!! How’s January treating you?

A huge (Geordie) 1 WELCOME if you are new here to my community; there was quite the influx of you over the holidays and I’m SO happy to see you!

🙋🏽‍♀️ ✨ I’m Claire; I’m a professional Engagement Consultant for the Arts and Heritage sector here in the UK and Internationally. My clients include Action for Children, Andersen Press, Alnwick Story Festival, National Trust and Tate Modern. I’ve worked with hundreds of thousands of creatives over my career and it’s been an honour.

I’m also a mentor with over 20 years experience and in 2023 I switched out my 1-2-1 mentoring work so I could focus on making

Sparkle on Substack
the most joyous, educational and community focussed space I could for as many of you who wanted to be here. It’s going well!

Here at Sparkle on Substack we focus on JOYFUL, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH.

We want to make your publication a beautiful place to spend time. You can improve your skills with community building and your tech knowledge of what Substack is so you know what it can be for you over time.

I don’t share hacks and I don’t want to overwhelm your nervous system either. I want you to feel fulfilled in an embodied way, cut through the overwhelm and direct you to your true north here. Your Substack and subscribers will come from you and your work and it can plug into everything else you do. My space holding along with others in our community will keep you on track, your unique track. Not that it’s a race but if it was we ALL know who wins; 🐢 ✨

The internet is NOISY, your Substack experience doesn’t have to be.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk on Substack! 😅 ✨

✨

My members have asked for a round up of previous posts they might have missed here at

Sparkle on Substack
so here it is (below) and hopefully it’s of service to everyone. I will send these posts every other month for you.

If you missed the last couple of updates, you can read them on the app?

💕

The call links are ALWAYS here in your CALENDAR/ RESOURCES PAGE and you can download all WORKSHOPS/ calls from January to June ‘24 to your online calendar too.

🎉

I wanted to let you all know that in the Sparkle membership we have two super focussed and exciting workshops this month.

Replays of both will be available within 24hours after the class takes place and you can access ALL the ‘Growth Library’ videos here as a founding member and everything I’ve posted as a member (paid subscriber) over the last 3 months.

✨

To clarify;

  • Free Subscribers - there’s lots here for you as you start your journey on Substack! This isn’t a publication where every other post is paywalled - there’s a whole section on growth.

  • Sparkle Members - you get x 2 zoom workshops a month/ co-working, reflection tools, weekly focussed joyful growth chat, twice monthly visibility thread, accountability buddies, 3 months of recordings and MORE.

  • Founding members - you get all of the above plus access to the growth library of recourses, an audit of your Substack with me and automatic first refusal access to my group programme (The Substack Collective) when it re-launches. 2

My prices here are going up at the end of January (monthly price locked for current subs) so it’s a great time to jump in and join us if you’re here just hanging out and keen to grow your knowledge and your Substack. 💕

For those of us who reflect and plan

Hi all, I have SUCH a gift for you! ✨ 🎁 How’s your week going? We have just wrapped up on work and nursery and my son has two more days to go. We are going into the darkest day in the UK. I don’t feel it but I sense it… fairy lights and “bits to do” a welcome distraction from the lack of light.
