We're going to experiment with live sessions over the next month to (re)spark your momentum and keep it going! ⚡️ 📣 #1 — MONDAY June 29th: At 6:30 am PT, 9:30 am ET and 2:30 pm London, we'll have our first LIVE Office Hours with me! I'll help you prioritize what to focus on NOW and what to relegate to the land of NOT NOT untill your NOW Item is complete. I"ll decide what cadence works for these over the next few weeks. If you have a question but you can't attend, post it in the Community Feed, tag it 'Help' and I'll answer so you can catch it in the replay. 📣 #2 — ALSO Monday June 29th — Business For Your Brain + 30 Day Substack Challenge — During tomorrow's Live Session, I'm rolling out our beta version of the Business For Your Brain Daily System, so I'll walk you through the Core Four elements of the system and how to use it to go from paralyzed to prolific. I'll also give you a briefing on the 30 Day Substack Challenge I've been working on for you, and help you get prepared to dive in when I turn it live. 📣 #3 — THURSDAY: My homie/longtime collaborator and your A-List/Studio Mate Jennifer Davis-Flynn (JDF) will be hosting co-working/co-creation sessions. Think of this as body doubling wherever you are in the world in the presence and collective energy of other gifted, writerly, neurodivergent women. Heads up that we'll be occasionally doing these together in the room, in Lisbon or nearby at my new writer's house, ORI, so if you're nearby, local or visiting, you'll soon be able to join us! All events and links to attend are in the Substack Studio Calendar, where you can add them to your own calendar, as we speak. See you there! PS: Check out the new branding upgrade — gorgeous, ain't it?

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.

Most of us found school and work easy, but find it hard to keep momentum going on our own solo projects, like Substack. That's because at school and work, you had external structure — external bosses, external deadlines, externally imposed clarity on what to do and when it had to be done by. When you start your own thing, you just don't have that. And while we're close to releasing Business For Your Brain as a Notion template, and an even deeper dive as a Claude-Powered Operating System... there's still nothing like the life force energy of another human for helping you slip into hyperfocus mode and have some radically fruitful days. I'm still so deep in creation mode of the Subscriber Growth Challenge and other cinnamon rolls I'm baking up for you that I have been trying to hold off on offering too many live sessions, but I think so many of you would benefit from this NOW that I decided to ask: Which of the following ways for me to give you some live energy and external structure would you be most likely to attend?

(Yes that title was clickbait but you opened it and that was the point, so read on and you'll get what you came for) I spent this weekend at a magical lake, reading the completely DELIGHTFUL autobiography of Margaret Atwood (author of Handmaid's Tale) and doing a [writing - walking - sauna - deep/delicious conversations with other family friends] circuit on repeat. In other words, living my best live. All weekend long. So I'm VERY on this morning. I'm rested, my writing flow switch is in ON position and my heart is full with love for you and the vision we're co-creating here. To that end... I've just uploaded the REPLAY of last week's LIVE Session, The Way of the Prolific Paid Priestess. If you are constantly thinking "I'm not sure how to make money with this", WATCH THAT VIDEO. It's like a high-level, 90 minute MBA on creating a Substack-based audience and revenue. And it's also a preview of what we'll be building together, once you finish your Substack Launch Challenge! Click here to watch: #REPLAY: The Way of the Prolific Paid Priestess HERE'S WHAT ELSE YOU CAN EXPECT HERE IN THE SUBSTACK STUDIO OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO: 🔥 EVERYONE — NEW: 30-Day Substack Growth Challenge (working to get this live asap.. it's taking longer than I'd planned but it will be worth it!) 🔥 EVERYONE — NEW: Pillar Content on the 'Cinnamon Roll' Strategy for Increasing Substack Revenue 🔥 EVERYONE: We'll either do a v2 of The Way of the Prolific Paid Priestess OR I'll drop a pillar-level mini course on how to craft, package and name your Signature Framework aka The Revolution Only You Can Ringlead. 🔥 PREMIUM: We're uploading my Classic/Greatest Hits Courses to the Studio, at no additional cost to Premium (Atelier/SCBS) Members — that includes: Do Your Dream, The Inner Critic Cure and Sacred Money Archetypes. Collectively, those courses cost over $1,700 when they came out! PS: The photo on this post is of me just before I started doing the same daily writing affirmations you're going to work with in this Challenge, before you head over to Substack and do the reading, writing, Notes, etc. I'll guide you through each day of the Substack Growth Challenge!

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,
