Just an FYI that it's grant season. The USDA has two major farming grants both due this week. State funding also is open. The writing is flowing. I'll return to writing fire shortly. Love and blessings! 💞🔥

The full Foundations Mini Course and your Day One Launch Planner are in the classroom now!! Here is what's waiting for you: ✅ The Mini Course video walks you through the Big Self, Big Dream Model and the paradigm shifts that makes everything else on this journey joyful, interesting and fun., ✅ You are not coming to Substack to be the guru. You are on a journey of becoming your Big Self and doing your Big Dream. The Substack you will build is for the others who are on the same journey as you. ✅ The Day One Launch Planner is where the lesson becomes the work. Make your own copy. Save it to a fresh Google Drive folder called Write Fire. Walk through your Zone of Obsession prompts. The Quadrant. The 11 Lists. The Outside Mirror. The excavation. ✅ Today is not for wordsmithing. It's for finding the center of your Zone of Obsession "gong". Tomorrow, we'll turn what we find today into the bones of your Substack. 👉🏾 Day One — Foundations Mini Course Drop into the comments below and share something that unfolds for you today! Head up and heart out, TNK 🔥

Welcome. Beautiful. I'm so glad you're here as a Founding Member. The Substack Studio is a space for gifted, neurocomplex women over 40 on the journey from paralyzed to prolific — building a body of work that gets your most inspired ideas out of the Good Idea Graveyard and onto a real platform that attracts golden opportunities, collaborations and projects as deep as you are. Please keep in mind that our official public launch is in June. I decided to roll this out with minimum delay because Uranus (revolution) has just moved into Gemini (writing, communication, self-expression) and I want us to take maximum advantage of these Universal forces. The wind is now at our backs. So now you get Founding Member benefits — including lifetime Founding Member pricing, early access to the beta Self-Centered Business OS and individual attention from me — while also giving me feedback that will shape the final version we launch publicly. (For this, I thank you in advance. 🙏🏾) 👉🏾 Step 1: Watch the welcome video below. 👉🏾 Step 2: Check out the Classroom. You'll find the Write Fire 🔥 Substack Launch Challenge, the Inner Critic Cure (we're loading it now!), branding templates, and (eventually) everything you need to start, grow and write your own bold, beautiful Substack. 👉🏾 Step 3: Jump into the community and introduce yourself in the comments below. Read what other A-List women are sharing. Comment, connect, build each other up. Tell us: - Your name - Where you're writing from - The body of work that's been sitting in your Good Idea Graveyard waiting for its moment I'll go first: I'm Tara-Nicholle Kirke. I write from Carvoeira, Portugal — a small village by the sea where every house is painted white and blue in honor of the Goddess of the Blue Sea (Yemaya). The body of work I'm finally building is how the Goddess is now returning to her throne, in the form of every single woman like us. The Substack Studio is where my body of work for other Creatress Women lives now. And so do you.

Hello, beloveds! You will be the first group ever take and co-create the Write Fire 🔥 Substack Launch Challenge with me. For that, I thank you in advance! I'm creating this for you based on what I've just recently done and am still doing to launch my own Substack, the A-List, and based on my couple of decades of experience building bold, beautiful, often spiritually contrarian platforms, personal brands and thought leadership campaigns. But I'm also creating this WITH you. Just this morning, I had a very impromptu in-person Writers' Hour session at my local surf club, and the questions @Jennifer Davis-Flynn asked about Substacking had me furiously taking notes about things I want to transmit during the Challenge. I plan to be gentle with the pace for this first Challenge of ours, because I would love to witness you implement the steps in real time, share your experience and questions back to me, and allow them to help me mold the spirit and the strategy of what I teach in the next steps. Our Challenge begins in earnest on Wednesday, March 13th (though I will send you some Pre-Decisions to sit with before then). From there, I will probably deliver one Substack Launch step every other day, instead of every day, this first time. Throughout, I invite you to share your experience, questions and feedback here in the Community so I can create the best possible Challenge for you and for your future Substack Studio Sisters, too. That's it for now — look for more in your inbox from me all week, and from here on out! With so much love and delight for our collective journey ahead, TNK
