Hi. You are here because I am working to get off Substack after a lot of hemming and hawing and trying to decide what to do.

A brief history of my email newsletters

You are here because you subscribed to a previous newsletter of mine. Perhaps on Substack or perhaps ages ago on Flodesk. Thank you for hanging out on my very sporadic email lists for all this time.

• I had one for “soul care coaching.”

• I had one for “art.”

• And I had one for “product management / leadership / tech / whatever.”

I began to find it very difficult to write anything because it felt like everything had to stay separate. My product management audience likely didn’t want to hear about art, and I didn’t really know what to do with “soul care coaching.” Yet these different things were all impacting each other.

Fast forward, I was speaking with a coach in an introductory call about how I have all these different parts and pieces of me, and I just want to spend time making art, but it doesn’t pay the bills like my day job does and what’s a girl to do?

She said, “Maybe there’s something here that wants to integrate. Maybe you need creativity in your product world and some organization skills in your creative practice.”

Wham. She doesn’t know it yet, but I immediately decided to work with her after she said this.

And thus, here you are. Everything is connected. And this is me figuring out how to live at the intersection of the complex, messy person I am without having to shove myself into one bucket or another.

If you don’t want to sign up for this, and don’t want to be a part of it, you are welcome to hit unsubscribe. You won’t hurt my feelings. Too much.

A note on Substack

I was primarily debating whether or not to leave the platform after Substack “accidentally” promoted N*zi propaganda via push notification. However, I could understand their values around free speech, and while I didn’t agree with their decision, I could ultimately understand it.

Then they started making the platform revolve around Notes. I’ve been trying to leave social media (more on this at a later time) and they decided to add social tools to their platform…

Given all that, here I am. On Buttondown.

Let’s give it a go, shall we?

Where I am on the internet these days

You can find my art on my Shopify site.

You can find a bit about coaching and whatnot on my card page, here.

Eventually, these will work their way into one website. And if you just want to send a quick email, you can reply to this one.
