๐ Hi, I'm Fiona! ๐๐๐ฟ
I am taking the opportunity to SHOW UP and share a short intro video on @Elfina Luk's encouragement in the welcome thread with the all prompts provided. I'm a medical herbalist, tarot & astrology reader based in Walkerburn, a wee town in the Scottish Borders. For the past 4 years, I've been travelling between Scotland and Southeast Asia, supporting my parents - now just my mum since my dad passed two years ago. Currently in Penang, Malaysia, but heading back to Scotland on July 4th! ๐ฅณ I am excited to work on my creativity growing my Skool community, Substack and YouTube channels. This year has been a creative stretch. I kicked things off in February with the Snowdrop Visibility Challenge, a daily video on Substack & YouTube. It was intense, but I did it! ๐คฉ Since then, Iโve kept up a weekly video rhythm (minus last week, travel and a funeral stirred the mix... old excuses or self-care, who knows! ๐ค) Curveballs can all too easily send me off track, but I have had an exponential amount of creative output this year, so it feels good to take my foot off the gas a bit this month. Iโm now sharing a bi-weekly Wanderlust Herbal Podcast video interviews with plant inspired souls around the world, and experimenting with different styles of video content on alternate weeks: herbal, spiritual, lunar, astrological, nature, travel, and personal growth. Momentum naturally dipped after shifting from daily to weekly, so my focus over the next 6 months is to stay consistent with weekly videos plus the podcast, ideally building habits like batching to ride the creative highs and coast through the low ebbs. ... I want these 3 things from the community: 1. Support to growย on Skool, Substack and YouTube. 2. Mutual support with like minds doing the sameย 3. Keep up with posting videos consistently For fun, I like to do these 3 things: 1. Travel 2. Spend time in nature, wild swimming & long walks (going on Camino de Santiago this September!) ๐คฉย 3. Journal & dabble with art
