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.

(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!

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?

Hi Class! It's Jennifer here, and I'm collaborating with Tara to host weekly co-working sessions! This will be your chance to work on your Substack with other A-listers.
