Aah what a beautiful piece, and a gorgeous wrap up. Thank you for being one of my Substack guiding lights and helping me navigate towards my true North. Your abundant knowledge, insight and generosity is delivered in such a uniquely gentle way as to not feel overwhelming or demanding - that is a very special gift. I can’t wait to meet you in Feb!! Much love and care as we greet 2024 💕💕🙏

Aw Hi Cassandra - so lovely to connect. What brought you to Substack? 💌 💫

I first heard about Substack from Jamie Varon and Susannah Conway. I had been drafting emails for a digital product that never came to fruition, but I found I really enjoyed writing about hobbies and life with chronic illness in those drafts, so I wanted to find a way to share that!

Oh that's so beautiful. I loved talking to Susannah on the podcast and I'm just working through the process of unravel your year - it's been a big one! ✨

Yes, congrats on your amazing year with Substack! I just started working on my Unravel Your Year tonight. I've been doing it every year for about 6 years now! Enjoy! 😊

I think I’m on year 4 now.. maybe 5... it’s such a beautiful process. A year holds such a lot doesn’t it? I wonder what our words will be! ✨

Finished! My word is "nurture." I hope to nurture my body (physical health), my writing skills, my creativity, and my readers. 😊 Have you decided on yours yet?

I really appreciate your 2023 Substack reflection guide! It helped me write out my vision for the future and let go of the ideas that no longer served me (and were probably held onto out of fear of being seen as ‘not academic enough’ by the medicine 🧌 who live rent-free in my head). Cheers to 2023 and to growing authentically for all of us. 💕

Beautiful beautiful encourager of creatives. Thank you for pioneering in a way that is honest and true and uplifting and sparkly! Such a generous mention (thank you). I’m so looking forward to this year and the out working of creative intention -- “learn intentionally from Claire this year” is on my vision board for 2024. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me this year haha teach me thy ways guru.
