Sentiments so true, I'm like whoooooa! Online content creation is still stigmatized as money gained that doesn't equate to its effort, but everyone is consuming it and there's plenty of work involved!
My sister has told me she sometimes struggles to read my substack or listen to my podcast because it feels invasive- as if people close to me shouldn't see? (Love her and she's mostly gotten over it) I do think the blatant effort can repel people, but idk! I'm chasing my dreams! I know you are, too!
Yes. All of it. The ratio of friends I invited to my book launch to number of reviews left for my book... the math doesn't math. It's an interesting phenomenon. But, to give some benefit of the doubt, I do think that if people are not in the internet / social media / substack world they truly do not understand a. what it's like to put yourself out there and b. how much a like or comment means the world. TLDR: Post all the things! Let's build empires!
just found you and i think you’re incredible, holy fish
Thank you so much!! Glad you’re here

Yes! Like it’s 2026 are we still really questioning this??
