Hey Reader, I'm back from an amazing yoga festival, a trip to the Austrian countryside, and a day in Munich, where I met writer friends. Physically, I'm back in the office. Mentally, I'm dying of excitement because I'm going to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour next week! I'll be at a pre-event on Wednesday, at the concert on Thursday + Friday, and outside the stadium on Friday (unless I get last-minute tickets!) When I told my friends about my plans, they were stunned that I'm taking three days off work to go to the same concert. But hey, that's the beauty of being your own boss: You make the rules. 😉 I spent the past 6 years building a creator business that allows me to:

Hey Reader, I became a full-time writer in 2020 and have since written any kind of content you can think of: Personal stories Listicles Reports How-to guides I also worked as a freelance/ghostwriter and published dozens of pieces with and for my clients. And while I love the diversity of being a digital writer, there's a specific type of content I like to write most. It's case studies. I love to be in the trenches with my audience, try new things, run experiments, do research, and report back...
Hey Reader, I don't know about you, but I'm more than ready for the weekend. I had a busy week full of exciting conversations and video recordings for a brand-new program we're currently building for you. I can’t reveal much about it yet, but I wanted to share a tiny sneak peek of a wonderful interview I recorded for this new project: Watch Now Whether you’re brand-new to online writing, struggling to grow your audience, or chasing the next big goal, I hope this 4-minute clip gives you a...
Hey Reader, How are you? Like, how are you really? 🫶 Emotions and noise have been high across the internet this week, which is why I decided to remain rather silent the past few days. Well, that and the fact that I've hosted daily Coaching and Onboarding Sessions for our newest members at Write • Build • Scale. 😅 If you've been following my work for a while, you might know that I've always been a huge believer in community, feedback, accountability, and peer learning. That's why we've been...
