Hi Sparkle gang,
How are you? I’ve been in London - it swallowed me whole and I feel very inspired by life right now!
When I surveyed my members here at Sparkle on Substack, I learnt that some folks felt a little lost and would like a round up type post monthly.
I’ve adjusted my call schedule to give you integration and catch up time too. Remember; you get to be discerning - you don’t need to do/ read it all - what feels good to you right now? Do that! The noise is overwhelming - this is a space where I make sure you feel you have TIME to make your Substack what you want it to be.
I’m trying a few ways with that and I’ll let you guys know what works. Please do let me know in the comments what you’d like to see more of here at
(either as a free subscriber or member).I’m really aware Substack have rolled out a tonne of new features and there are a lot of Substack educators in this space. There’s also some mis information circulating. My focus will ALWAYS be on a creative approach to the platform and joyful, sustainable growth. I have two years experience of using this platform and my consultancy work outside of Substack is focussed on audience development, real life and online engagement.

Here’s what you might have missed this month;
Members get; a BEAUTIFUL heart centred community of creatives to work with, weekly chat threads, x2 creative calls a month focussed on an element of creativity or growth on Substack, access to my archive of calls with over 20 hours of teaching/ training/ exploration and special posts where I share more of what works here. You also get FREE access to my Get Creative on Substack masterclass which I just updated for 2024. It arrives in your welcome email - or at least it will when I update it. 😉
For everyone

I’m so excited to get together next week on Wednesday for our Notes support thread and to see you again in April at the Sparkle Call on zoom.

PS - NEW episodes of the podcast are (hopefully) dropping over Easter weekend. You can listen to all 14 episodes of season one here.
Claire, after I read this it was an insta-subscribe for me: "My focus will ALWAYS be on a creative approach to the platform and joyful, sustainable growth." I want to help people grow on Substack and write better stuff, but I don't want to go overboard with it and make people feel like crap for not having thousands of subscribers or whatever. I want to educate without boasting about my own success, and have people focus on the joy of writing rather than the numbers. Because the numbers come when the joy is there! Thank you.
This is really helpful, thanks Claire! I missed all the lives and find it tricky to catch up but I’m in it and i see the audio one here is one I def want to catch up on🙏🌸
