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!

It’s disappointing but not surprising that some people are people-ing on you. I’m glad you’re holding your boundaries and hope you are free of the nonsense in the future and have a wonderful holiday. You help make Substack better for all of us through the creation of helpful content and an otherwise supportive community, and that’s hard work. 💕✨

I hope you have a lovely break. It sounds like it’s perfect timing to take a step away and recharge your batteries with sun and family!

I find that so many creative ideas come up when we do! 💕

I hope that interaction that you had was just a blip. xxx

One bad apple spoils the whole cart as they say. I’ve seen from others with massively successful membership programs that it’s essential to turf those out who trample all over your values and continue to disrespect boundaries. This is most often ignored in organisations and business but the payoffs to these difficult decisions benefits the whole.

I really love and value the space you have created here Claire. Unfortunately some people will always push boundaries and you need to do what you can to protect yourself from that.

Can I ask a really daft question - I feel as if I should know the answer to this. How do you create the Threads section on your navigation bar please? Are they your Weekly Chats that you have saved and reformatted into a page/post? The format looks different somehow to what I see when I go to create a new post.
