I grew up rarely asking for anything. When we went visiting, I wasn’t allowed to ask for water, to use the toilet, or for anything at all, in case it inconvenienced someone. As ridiculous as it sounds now, that mindset stayed with me for a long time. I learned to go without, to expect disappointment, and to believe that if I wanted something, I’d have to sort it out myself. It’s only in the last ten years that I’ve really questioned this. How can we receive what we want if we never ask? How can others know how to support us if we don’t say what we need? And how can life, or the universe, respond if we don’t even know what we want our life to look like? I see this pattern so often in clients I work with, especially in women and mothers. We give, we sacrifice, we cope and somewhere along the way, we stop expecting anything for ourselves. We forget how to want. This isn’t about being materialistic. It’s about reconnecting with desire and clarity. You can’t consciously create a life you want if you haven’t taken the time to recognise what that is. Have you ever really stopped to think about what you want for your life?

My mission is simple: to help coaches and spiritual entrepreneurs get visible so they can amplify their message and attract the clients they’re meant to serve. This community isn’t just about taking—it’s about giving and growing together. I believe a rising tide lifts all ships, and when we support each other, we all rise higher. Here’s how you can make the most of this space: ✨ Share what you’re working on—your projects, launches, ideas. ✨ Ask for feedback, guidance, or collaboration. ✨ Offer support, encouragement, or insight when others share. This is your place to experiment, learn, and be seen. Let’s co-create a space where visibility feels natural, collaboration is celebrated, and abundance flows for everyone. Drop a quick hello below and let us know what you’re working on right now! Be sure to check out the calendar and the classroom - lots of goodies in there. The fastest way to "level" up is to leave a comment under your welcome comment & then create a post, next leave some comments on other peoples comments - which can be as simple as tagging them and dropping a gif - You only need 5 interactions to hit level 2 and then level 3 will happen pretty quickly after - the object is to give people opportunities to like your stuff and comment so ask questions, drop gifs, be curious - have fun.

I'm trying to add an audio file (mp3) to my Welcome Email on Substack. (not on a post or page, but the actual Welcome Email) When creating this email, there isn't an option to insert an audio file, so I went to the help/support place. I was told to just drag/drop the audio file into the body of the welcome email and it will insert itself. So far, it's been 30 minutes and it's not inserting. The file isn't big, 2 minutes, so it can't be the size. I've been searching Youtube to figure this out and haven't found it. Has anyone tried to insert an audio file? If so, how did you do it?

I love the feedback you all give me when I publish another page on my Substack, so I'll continue to keep asking you to do so. My latest page (also my first membership one). Again, I'm not asking anyone to sub or signup, just look at the page and see if there are any errors or if something doesn't make sense. Thanks!

1. Go live - find someone to go live with over there it will extend your reach. 2. Post 3 to 5 notes a day (okay, so I'm not great at this either - but here's a tip - restacking other people's notes counts too - my next video - I'll try to do it here in a bit - will be on how to restack on Substack) 3. You need to be thinking about ways to make offers (and you need to have offers to make) Substack converts subscribers at about 2-3% so that mean 20 -30 paid subscribers with 1000 free subscribers (my stats are 779 subscribers and 36 paid subscribers - that's a 21% conversion rate (and why I say you don't need a lot of subscribers what you need are the right subscribers and you need to make them offers! 4. Add images to go with your posts or video clips this seems to be gaining in reach And as I'm always saying nothing beat real connection, comment, like and restack other's content - reach out start a conversation (not the creepy hi how are you today) Ask a question in the comments section or on a note - engage. Finally, post your note links in the daily notes boost - and then go and like and comment on other's links.
