This is fabulous, Jen. Because I'm a Libra, and we're notorious for being completely unable to make decisions, I feel like the smart choice for me is to ask for just the ONE option. But then the magpie part of my brain can't help wondering what the other options might be ...

Bottom line - I leave the choice in your very capable hands. ;)

As for LULL MODE - I'm so glad to hear it's not just me!

I've actually taken the last two weeks away from writing as I work through a slight pivot for my newsletter (or at least a reframe ... for me more than anyone else), so I've been a bit AWOL myself, BUT I have been lurking, and I agree - definitely feels a little slow. (Except for the news ... the awful, awful news.)

THAT (the news) is part of what's making newsletter writing more of a battle for me right now. It seems futile to write my little missives in the face of so much cruelty and tragedy. And yet, I know it's the right thing to do. It's just tough to muster the energy some days.

Thanks for this post. Made me feel better. xo

Jen! First, thanks for tagging me. Also, I'm so sad my comment that you included has a typo in it 😆 Stupid cell phone autocorrect not even working properly.

Your subtitle on this post is GOLD! I laughed out loud. Isn't that all of us at some point? I give advice every single week that I don't take myself.

I think the biggest thing standing in my way this summer is the massive LULL on Substack. I don't even feel like participating in my own newsletters with such slowness on the platform. But alas...I must.
