Read time: 2 minutes Hey Reader! So much has happened since my last email - both good and bad:
Why am I telling you this? Something I've been thinking about is why do I follow the people I follow? Is it for their helpful tips about writing, marketing, entrepreneurship, etc? Partly. But then there's the TikTok dancer I discovered 5 years ago. I still follow her on Instagram. The same goes for a #vanlife YouTuber who travels around America. Dancing and living in a van are two things I only have a vague interest in. So why do I keep following these people? What I've come to realise is it's because they're interesting! They do cool sh*t.

So here it is: My mum was with her partner, Rich, for 20 years. He was a wonderful man, and I considered him my dad. But a call from my mum soon changed that. "We've got some bad news, I'm afraid. Rich has been diagnosed with lung cancer. And he has brain tumours." It felt like dΓ©jΓ vu. My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 18 months ago. (She's all...

It was an experiment. I wanted to see: What the unsubscribe rate would be How it would feel to put it out there Whether anyone would book a call It's a mixed bag on all these things, and I felt a little dirty putting the course out there. Why? I copied the style from another creator and it didn't really vibe with...
Read time: 3.5 minutes Hey Reader, I recently moved into my new apartment! π₯³οΈ And not long after, I lost a major client π€ͺ Months of steady work and then suddenly POOF - I wasn't needed anymore. Company structuring. Layoffs. Gone. If this happened to me two years ago, I would have FREAKED OUT! But this time? I was like "meh".
