Thank you for not only sharing tips but sharing truth. We need more of this. The truth about it being messy is refreshing. You asked if Substack felt like home and for me the answer is a resounding yes. For the first time ever, I have found a place that aligns with my truest self. I've been here just a few months. I'm testing and trying new things. It's a journey but it's worth every post.

Was your first major brand deal on Substack? Or did you also grow on other platforms?
