Seeing this post late, but congratulations to you! I love your posts and your message gives me hope that as a new Substacker myself, the pitfalls and unknowns are just part of the journey. Seeing your success and thoughts after one year, makes me feel like it will be worth it. 🫢🏻

Thanks for reading, Brittney and welcome to Substack! It's definitely been worth it and has helped me get a lot more comfortable with experimenting and putting myself out there. I hope you stick it out! x

Congratulations on a year (or more!) of writing! So happy I found your newsletter.

I love your stance on just getting started. I have been so pleasantly surprised that I don’t need some giant plan to have fun here and find my community.
