Thank you for these reminders, Jen! So useful to see these at the moment while I'm figuring out what my paid subscriber content is going to look like here on Substack. I've had the paid option turned on from the beginning (partly so I didn't have to decide when to turn it on 🙈 and partly so that people always had the option to support me in that way if they choose to) but I'm planning to set out some more concrete plans for Haver & Sparrow when I hit the six month mark in August. 💫 I'm really excited for what's to come and love the community that's growing around my work but I so relate to what you're saying here about needing to believe in what you have to offere and to hold your nerve what sharing it with people! Have saved this post and will come back to it again when I get closer to that stage. Thanks again, hope you're having a lovely weekend! 💗

Thank you for these insights Jen, I'm contemplating a launch and it hadn't even occurred to me yet to think about how to look after my nervous system during that period - and now I will! Thank you x

So much wisdom and helpful practical advice here Jen. I am yet to turn on the paid subscriptions on my substack and kind of wish I had done so from the start. It is hard to view my content as valuable ‘enough’ and I guess I have much to unpack here. For now I am trying to enjoy the process and commit to posting weekly updates on my journey. Thank you for the great generosity in what you share.

Thanks so much for this, Jen! I’m just starting out with Substack (ish) and have yet to solidify any kind of real paid subscription offerings, BUT I did decide today to launch a poem-a-day challenge here in June. I’m inspired by one I’m in right now. I’ve had a track record for being less able to corral myself into a plan when trying new business offerings, but... part of it is indeed simply trusting the goodness of my entire 100% right now. Have also saved this post, and am grateful for your continued vulnerability. It definitely is of great service. Many blessings!

The program is incredible. I have only been in for just over 24 hours and I am blown away by how much really in depth content and support there is. Keep looking after yourself and I am sure there will be many happy sales dances to come 😀
