Is this what all the cool kids are doing now? Substacking?

It seems like it and while I’m not one to usually follow the crowd, here I am, for a couple of reasons.

One, I miss writing.

I used to blog but then I started a podcast in 2022 and it seemed like overkill to have both.

But if I’m being honest, I needed the time off because I wasn’t feeling very creative. My blog posts were sporadic at best prior to launching the podcast and I had lost my love for it. Or maybe I just missed the way blogging used to be. (I’ll get to that in a minute.)

Then as most of my topic ideas were aimed toward the podcast, I didn’t feel I had enough ideas to support both platforms. Or enough bandwidth.

I’m not a “hustle” kind of gal. I don’t push myself to do all the things because that’s when I shut down. It’s like my nervous system unplugs itself and says “nope”.

It might be my coping skills or perhaps lack thereof in this area or maybe I just want things to flow rather than feel forced. The more I feel forced to do something, the less interest I have in it. I’m sure there’s a therapist or trauma expert that can explain why I’m this way but I have yet to invest in that sort of help to find out. (You’d think for someone who’s so into health and wellness, I would’ve invested in therapy by now but that’s for another post.)

Back to the reasons why I’m back to writing…
