“I feel like you speak my language - you come from an arts background but have tried lots of things and you understand what it's like juggling plates and I like your tone and the permission you give to take things at your own pace.” Rakhee Jasani

Hi Folks

As some of you know I set up a separate Substack publication to run participatory projects and used it for a challenge. I couldn’t use Sparkle on Substack as working with sections is tricky and people haven’t signed up for daily emails here.

There are many ripples from the folks that took part but this is more of a snapshot of the stats. I thought it could be helpful incase you wanted to try something similar.

If you have any questions I’d be happy to share more? Comments are open.

The Joyful Growth on Substack Challenge took place here on Substack from 12-20 Feb and stayed open until 28 Feb. It was free and open to all.

“Practical and implementable advice, and a lot of cheerleading and encouragement. I particularly enjoy the Sparkle sessions.” Julie Babis

“This challenge was like a sweet, gentle nudge each day from a friend instead of feeling like a frenetic growth challenge. My main takeaway was collaboration with other Substacks, making comments into conversations and exerting some control over my Notes feed! Your presence is so calming and encouraging. I love your style.” Tanmeet Sethi, MD

Here’s the stats, subscribers and sales it brought in…
