Hi friend,

Since we last spoke, I’ve

• finished my cohort-based course, Summit 21

• started applications for Authentic Influence (closing in 24 hours)

• experienced some crazy body aches

• had pizza twice

I also feel like whenever I open Substack, I’ve come to social media like Twitter was in 2020 and I’m not sure how much I appreciate it.

While I miss that community factor of Twitter, I started Substack in 2020 as a personal newsletter because Side Hustle Saturdays was already a serious one where I discussed writing, monetisation, growing online, and the creator economy.

Substack is where I share my thoughts and feelings.

You know - like a YouTube channel where you have serious videos and a vlog. This was my vlog.

And now it feels like a race. I’m thinking

• should I focus on getting more followers?

• with people writing serious stuff, is there still space for me to just do my thing where I’m helping people be healthier and happier and not talking about work?

What I’m going to do for sure is to have fun.

I’ve already taken 7 months off earlier due to grieving, and now I want to come back.

I’m going to do my thing and others can do theirs.

Anyhoo, here’s what is in store for me before we talk next

1. TEDx talk: I’m giving my first ever TEDx talk in 6 days!!!! I’m so nervous because I haven’t spoken on stage all by myself. At the time you read this, I’m probably practising my talk in front of a mirror

2. V-day date: with the husband

3. Authentic Influence’s cohort 3: our first call is on Tuesday - yay! If you want to be a part of my LinkedIn group coaching program, reply to this email.

And, of course…

Here’s what I wrote recently:

1. Here’s Why I Discontinued My Flagship Course After Making Over $50K

2. The Differences of Travelling in Europe vs the USA

3. SHS #145: 5 Mistakes I See LinkedIn (Sorry for Being Blunt)

See you soon!

Love,
