REPLAY - How not to Ghost yourself on Substack

Success on Substack is 90% mindset, 7% action and 3% sparkle! 💫

It’s mindset month here at

Sparkle on Substack

which means all my posts and my member calls have a mindset focused twist. We’ve dedicated a whole month to this topic in the hope it’s healing to your creative practise. You are welcome to join us in the membership. It’s £11 a month or £95 for the year and this is the LAST MONTH it will be this price. Diamond membership is currently closed but will re-open for a limited number of people in January.

My courses outside of the membership are here.

Hi all,

We all find our way with showing up, celebrating our words, our work in the world. We discover what feels good. We write within and outside of of comfort zone, we hone our craft.

For me, I know if Substack had existed (to me) back in 2017 when I started promoting my own work outside of my creative commissions I would have frozen. I wasn’t ready.

I wouldn’t have known what to write about, how to share my voice, how to engage an audience. I would have been looking to loads of educators to better understand what to do and felt muddy in action. I would have been signed up to too much stuff that triggered comparison.

Perhaps you relate?

“Trust is earned in the smallest of moments. It is earned not through heroic deeds, or even highly visible actions, but through paying attention, listening, and gestures of genuine care and connection.” Brené Brown

Just do the thing…

Just because you read an inspirational quote or affirmation doesn’t mean you can shift your mindset and drop all the fear. I know that, but I also know I can help you to show up and make this space something that fills your heart with joy! We need an embodied response to our work at all times to feel safe in knowing what we want to put out.

If you missed it, I wrote more on perfectionism for mindset month in this piece.

3% Sparkle (always) ✨

I’ve written and talked a lot about why I decided to call my Substack education space

Sparkle on Substack

. It’s an intention as well as an invitation (to remember), rekindle and get to be best friends forever with our unique light. To get clear on what it is we’re here to do. Could you succeed without the sparkle? Sure! Would we feel congruent and peaceful - no, I don’t think we would!

I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and continuing to work on our mindsets for showing up and doing the work we are called to do in the world.
