Hi all,
It’s been a BUSY month here at
. I’ve also taken 37 beautiful souls through a month long container to build their Beautiful Digital Magazine right here on Substack. The next container will run in February.It’s been a month of all the feelings around being visible and leading with heart. More about that on Wednesday.
For now, here’s your round up of ALL the posts from this month.
The A-Z is updated too so feel free to dive in and find what you need for YOUR unique and glorious Substack. Remember, you can always press the ‘archive’ button your desktop to find ALL the posts and videos in chronological order.
ONE thing you can do for joyful growth today is to reach out to 10 people whose work you ADORE. Reply to their note, shoot them a dm, comment on their latest article. All that is invested will return. ✨
Let’s stay creative, move away from indecision and celebrate joyful, sustainable growth!
All the sparkles,
Claire

And our ever popular weekly threads are right here;
And next month…
If you’re thinking about joining us in August here’s the (paired back) schedule;
August is catch up month!
I am taking some time off for summer so from 1st Aug, I will leave the Substack chat open for paid subs to start chats.
I’ll see you in the August call before I take a month long break (1st - 31st) … It’s a total experiment but I think it will be really fun!!!
You can chat about your Substack, share Notes, share stories, questions and support each other.
will be popping in and out to support you and I trust you to be BEAUTIFULLY supportive and kind and friendly with each other. 1Please note dms will not be read at this time with the exception of messages from
💎Diamond Members.
The writing room will be open 24/7 and you can organise to meet each other there.
Mon 5th Aug (NEW TIME) 5pm - The Sparkle Call - Summer wrap up party - the floor is yours. Bring your Substack for sharing, CELEBRATING and questions?!
Also in August;
And our Kickstarter for our book ‘How to Build a World Class Substack’ wraps up 31st August. Make sure your back the project by then as we’re not planning on selling the book anywhere else.
and I are SO grateful for all your shares and support and to the 387 people who have backed the project - THANK YOU!!I hate to say this but I feel it’s so important to be transparent with you.
I’ve really had some boundaries trampled on recently with paid members after running this space a year with so much reciprocal reverence.
I want this to be a wholehearted and safe space so I have removed two people. I am all for open dialogue but I am not a trained therapist and I won’t be used as someone’s punch bag in place of their disappointment on life/ their Substack.
I won’t and can’t be treated unkindly or have wild expectations projected onto me because someone has paid me £11 for a month’s access to Sparkle on Substack.
My paid members community full of you Sparklers is a sacred container and I will hold the space for everyone to flourish. There are plenty of other places to get Substack education including from Substack themselves. Thank you for being respectful and beautiful to each other always - it’s a joy to do this work. ✨
Definitely important to protect yourself Claire and hold your boundaries 💝🙏🏻 I can see you do a lot of good here!
Very inspired and impressed to see you're taking August off and well done for maintaining boundaries and sorry that people were yucky. Hope you have a joyful and rejuvenating August!
