I'm Taking a Break!

I'll be back in the Autumn 🍂

Dear Readers,

I’m on the brink of burnout (again 🙄), so I’ve decided to take an urgent step back from Substack, while I assess where to go from here.

This Isn’t Goodbye

Unfortunately I am currently experiencing a severe case of overwhelm, self-loathing and decision paralysis! Which means the healthiest and most sensible thing to do at this point is to hit PAUSE before I have a full-on breakdown - and do things I might regret, like deleting everything! 🥺

This is NOT goodbye and I will definitely be back! I just need to STOP and take some time out to breathe, look after my health, spend time with the kids and figure out where to go from here with my writing, my business, with everything!

Please Don’t Leave Me

This is a shameless plea to stick around and to not unsubscribe, whilst I take this break to get my shit together! You don’t need to do anything and I won’t be sending anything out (after this post) until I’m back, so your inbox won’t get clogged up. Just stay please 🙏

Everything is now FREE!

I have already been in touch with my paid members to let them know that their subscriptions have been paused until 31st August. This can/might be extended until I am fully ready to return and have (finally) settled on what exactly it is I want to offer in my paid membership. Or whether or not to even have one?! 🥺

I might be hovering around a bit (lurking 😆), but if I write/post anything I won’t send it out via email… I’ll just quietly publish it directly on the publication. So, if you’re missing me 😉, you can pop in and see if I’ve added anything new…

I will also be playing around with the overall contents/appearance while I’m away and getting everything set up how I want it to look/feel for when I return, for a Fresh Start in the Autumn. 🍂

See You Soon!

Thank you for being here and (hopefully) sticking with me whilst I take this much needed step back. Also, if you are a fellow Substack writer, PLEASE don’t be offended if I pause my subscription to your Newsletter (temporarily) and/or don’t engage/read your posts for a while. I WILL be back! 🤗❤️
