See you in the co-creation session, @Jennifer Davis-Flynn. Thanks for holding space, Sister. 🙏

Calling all Creatresses: I had the absolute delight of sitting in the room, IRL, with @Nupur G for two days last week. And I also went deep with another old friend/new client/Creatress in a 1:1 body of work building kickoff. So I closed last week on an energy high, which I rode right into a child-free weekend. I activated my Monk Mode protocol (which it now seems obvious I should share with y'all), but Goddess Mode ensued: 🤯 I wrote 15,000 words this weekend, 🤯 I read about 500 pages (including the wonderful and stressful new book Kin, by Tayari Jones), and 🤯 I slept for 9 hours TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW. #unprecedented That's the exact energy I'm going to bring to our LIVE Office Hours tomorrow! Here's what we'll be doing together: 1. I'll help you prioritize what to focus on NOW and what to file under NOT NOW. 2. I'll also give you a sneak preview into some new 1:1 and IRL experiences I'm about to roll out where you can get my individual intensive help getting your Substack/body of work launched, humming and monetized; join me in Lisbon for a luxury, end-of-summer camp for writerly women; or both! 3. AND I'll be rolling out our next Cinnamon Roll: The Substack Daily Ritual Challenge (not a final name, probably but you get the gist!). BE THERE, Love, TNK

… says host has another meeting in progress…

For a couple of days, I've been thinking about @Lindsay LaShell's question about what we need to be doing on Substack each day, and how to best transmit this to you as less of a task list and more of a DELECTABLE INVITATION TO IMMERSE YOURSELF AND BE NOURISHED by a ritual of interacting with other deep thinkers, thinking, writing, speaking and transmitting in public. At a high level, my personal Substack Success Daily Ritual includes: — Writing some Prolific Paid Priestess identity affirmations out 20x in the am and 20x before bed (sounds cornball af but it has actually kickstarted a glorious domino effect of congruence, expansion and attraction — and sometimes you need that at the beginning of this sort of an upgrade) — Posting 3 Notes per day — Reading 2-3 other Substackers' articles per day — Restacking your own or others' content 2-3 times per day — Perusing, liking and commenting on other Substackers' Notes Doing this in ways that grow your voice, audience and income is a ~30-45 minute per day situation, once you get acclimated to the culture. Note that I haven't mentioned cross-posting on other platforms because it can absolutely be helpful and synergistic, but it's also a layer of complexity that is absolutely not necessary for most of us if we get laser focused and strategic on Substack. I'm thinking about creating a 30 Days of Substack Success Daily Ritual Classroom here in the Studio, where every day I drop a very specific Substack Success Daily Ritual protocol I want you to follow that day, including your affirmation and Notes prompt for each day. Thinking we can start on Monday, but first, tell me — do you want that? @Lindsay LaShell @Dr. Evelyn Young Spath @Nupur G @Tracy Boyce @Nic Frick @Emily Souza Obrigadissima e beijinhos,

Hey, Beloveds: I wanted to give you a quick OTS (Over The Shoulder) update on what is happening behind the scenes in my world, and what is about to happen in yours. I’ve been spending the last few months looking deeply at why brilliant, neurocomplex women retreat on the brink of their own breakthroughs. Why do our boldest ideas keep piling up in the Good Idea Graveyard? Our childhood conditioning to be smart-and-cute-but-mute runs deep into our cells, sneakily silencing the most radical, electric insights within us before they can make it out into the world. When we try to build a platform or a business using the linear, extractive "bro-marketing" models just throws a Feral Ferrari brain into a threat defense response. We excelled at school and work because they came with built in external urgency and structure, but when we step closer to sharing our most audacious thinking with the world, we feel wildly untetherd and even... unsafe. This is not just a conditioned response from our this lifetime. To fix it, we have to stop future tripping, because the future never comes. Instead, we have to look back. Way back. For 5,000 years, the capitalarchy has tried to drop a veil over our voices, extracting our power for the purposes of empire.But before that veil dropped, there was Enheduanna. Around 2300 BCE, Enheduanna was the High Priestess of Ur. She is the first named author in human history. She didn't wait for gatekeepers to give her permission; she prolifically wrote her own bold, dangerous poetry on clay tablets.But she wasn't just a spiritual figurehead or the first-ever scribe—she also masterfully led the Gipar, a massive, wealthy temple economy and agricultural estate, supported by an entire class of learned priestesses. She was the original Prolific Paid Priestess.If you can't understand why the calling to write or speak truth and also live a prosperous life won't leave you alone, it's in your lineage. We don't need to ask the patriarchy for permission to publish, speak, or earn.We can use Substack to build our own Gipars.
