I love these Substack posts, Claire. And so exciting your Note got featured! I actually did a little happy dance when you posted the screenshot of you recommendations and my own Substack was there. I can't thank you enough! I love what you wrote about brilliance too, it's so true that consuming more isn't always (if ever, maybe?) the answer. Thank you for sharing your brilliant insights!
Thank you for this post Claire! Iām going to look closer at my recommendations and see if Iām utilising them as well as I can be. Also, HUGE congratulations on the Substack feature! Very well deserved šš»š„°
Thanks for the reminder to add books to my profile. I kept thinking I needed to be on laptop to do it and turns out you can do it on mobile (I used the Safari app.)
Gratz on your feature! And I feel you on links. I ended up in that feeling the day Notes launched. Friends of friends don't always post the kind of content I want to see. Now that I've muted a few things it seems better, but I'm still cautious about energy there
I appreciate these words! I know that for myself, I definitely enjoy links from other people on occasion but it often just feels like too much. I have for sure been down a rabbit hole clicking on things when the time would have been better used making some art or reading a book. So therefore I made a pact with myself to work hard at not sending out too many myself because it feels like just adding to the overload. I often think of the advice that if you want to write a book then you should write the book you want to read, and I think the same things is apt for newsletters and Iāve been trying to embrace that energy in mine.
Congratulations on being featured in Substack Reads. So lovely š» As a newbie here still very much trying to figure things out your thoughts and posts are so helpful. It feels like such a nice place to be too šŗ
I like your thoughts on positive things having the potential to turn toxic if we donāt self reflect. Thank you, yours is my favourite Substack and I get so much from it. š
Speaking of brilliance that is an excellent piece of writing about going down the rabbit hole online. I felt the angst while reading it! And the raccoons, haha! Well done.
Congratulations on your well deserved recommendations Claire. Your heart centred leadership is needed in our world.
The stuff about brilliance is soooo on point. We think consuming more and more stuff is going to somehow make us better when the opposite is often true. Being able to hear your own thoughts is absolutely game changing as a person, coach and writer x
Ah usual Claire, this is a timely post for me. You seem to be right in my head. I had a wobble of overwhelm this week; in a nutshell I was thinking that I'm using Substack as another distraction/procrastination away from editing my novel, another project to work on, another place to build a following at the expense of my time. I've realised a lot of this mindset comes from my social media conditioning. It's very different here, and I think the answer for me will be to set up paid so I can figuratively see meaning and purpose in the space.
Ha, that was a rather long answer, I should write a SS about it š
What a lovely piece. I totally agree with you about the warm generosity of spirit there is here - in stark contrast to most of social media. And thanks for the reminder to use recommendations more - I haven't quite got to grips with that yet
