Congratulations!!! And thank you for this fantastic advice. These truths distilled feel like encouragement--a tap of a warm mug across the screen and, “You’re on the right track!”
Happy three years! Just hit my three year mark too! Relate to: “It’s hard not to compare myself to other newsletter writers who’ve seen explosive growth — gaining tens of thousands of subscribers in a year. When I fall down this rabbit hole, I remind myself that I’ve built real connections, and that matters.” -- I love getting personal emails from my peeps!
Six thousand!! Congratulations, Elizabeth. Meeting you has been one of the best parts of being on Substack. You’re so good at what you do and amazing at bringing people together. 💕💕
Hopefully we can hang for more than a minute. Perhaps in a Nora Ephron style kitchen. (BTW: whole chapter in R. Eric Thomas's new book about Nora Ephron kitchens.
6000 congrats 🎉 your message really resonates with me. Be friendly, collaborate and I’d like to add something if I may. Be generous! Always give more and help others. From my experience it comes back around, and if it doesn’t we’ll, then, you’ll feel good and know you’ve acted with a generous spirit. Occasionally people will take advantage of or let you down, but that’s rare. I just dust myself off, put my head in the air and wander off again to enjoy my life.

STOP.
Also I need to be alerted immediately when you're coming to Chicago!!!
Between you, Jolene, Sarah and Cassie, I need to make it happen.
Wahoo! Cassie just moved to Kentucky 😭 but I bet we could convince her to come up here.
Thanks for the mention, Elizabeth, and congrats!!!
