Thank you for sharing, it deeply resonates. I am just starting, but I also feel like I am following my inner voice, my intuition. Many times I fall back into my rational mind, planning, organizing, researching for the best strategy to grow. But then I remind myself, I why I am doing this. To give whatever is coming up a a space, a voice.
I completely resonate with this! I am currently out of work, and I am over applying for jobs since a part of me is coming from desperation. But when I think about writing and publishing my intuition and my heart open wide up and I feel like I am being led rather then pushed and forced.
I've been there. It's difficult to keep the balance between applying and looking but not stressing about it, because of fear or anxiety of running out of money because you don't have anything else (that was my case at least). Once I let go and trusted more, the 'perfect' job came along. I love that writing and publishing opens your heart. Same for me. And I think, little by little it will affect also other areas of our lives, that we can trust out inner guidance for anything else in out lives. Jobs, relationships, difficult decisions....
I love the idea of aligning intuition with a businesslike mindset. Since I started publishing on Substack, I noticed one main reason that makes me want to stay here (and grow a community of people interested in essays on motherhood, faith, and beauty): this platform does not tear me apart in terms of attention.
I can show up twice a week, engage, comment, work on the next post, and then forget about it for the next couple of days. That was never the case with Instagram, which required undivided attention several times a day.
My life is currently a big experiment, flowing with intuition, shaped by intellect (we're allowed to us both!). I am trusting my own dream, partly because it's such a big Yes, but also because it helps other women around the world to get in touch with their own gifts and express them as medicine for the earth. I enjoy reading your reflections on intuition and your Substack journey, and look forward to reading more. Thank you!
I've always believed intuition can solve literally any problem by providing each and every next best step, all the way to success and completion. And you're so right about not forcing it, too. Thank you for your work.
I started my journey here, two months ago. Subscribers are dropping in, one by one, slowly. Sometimes it makes me doubt that I can trust my gut and not force something that one of the many how-to-Substack-quickly advisors tell me. It felt so good to read your words ♥️. A couple of days ago I published a post about why we should listen to our inner voices, especially when we are not getting many views yet.
I feel I have always been a writer, and have always longed to write: so why don’t I? This post made me realize the strict rigidity I place upon myself that sucks out the creative joy from the experience. It’s meant to be fun. It’s meant to be an extension of me. It’s not meant to be perfect or always easily digestible. Probably will never post consistently on a nice schedule. But it’s my journey first and foremost! The people who enjoy that will find me resonantly so :)
This is totally my space to serve, connect and grow! Just as you said! I wouldn't be able to keep doing this practice if it didn't fulfill all of these desires!
I love the idea of following your creative bursts to create and share and am so happy this non-strategy has helped you grow. It's nice to hear something like this when everyone else seems to have a template for growth. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful reminders, thank you! It's so easy to look around and see what everyone else is doing and start to get frazzled. This is the encouragement I needed to keep focused on my vision and flow out of who I am. As you mentioned, this is my stepping out, creating the life I've been dreaming of, and serving those who are drawn my way!

Nice. Thanks.
Great post! Aligning your purpose with your message and the rest takes care of itself from there. That's all you need.
Thank you for sharing this; I needed this read~

This is the place where I read long form content that hits me in the heart and mind. As a newbie here, I appreciate your words!
🤍🤍🤍
Love this! I also started my substack to help me get unstuck and it’s been such an unexpected and magical journey ✨
