Reader! I just asked Claude to put on his/their (haven’t asked pronouns) Claudette hat and tell me what common blocks women have around making money. The answer made me realize I’m a FREAK. (Or a man.) My notes below will show you why: They feel like they have to earn the right to charge. More credentials, more experience, more proof — as if men are out there waiting until they're fully ready before they name a price. Maybe it’s because my parents paid me starting when I was twelve (and...

Hey Reader, Hello from Pereira, Colombia, where Steven and I are staying with friends who built a pretty f*cking magnificent home. I’m drinking a lot of guanábana, the juice I didn’t know I needed (on demand). I’m here now because, like a lunatic, I agreed to a plan where I lead 2 straight days of writing and 1 of masterminding, including a group dinner and a cocktail party, and then — not 36 hours later — boarded a plane. As for the writing retreat, Bingeworthy Live: I’m delighted to...

Hey Reader, Heather Campbell’s been “wanting” to do video. For years. A returning member of my mastermind/live mentoring party, Shrimp Club, she’s talked about it in a few hot seats. “I can’t seem to get started with video. I don’t know what’s stopping me. Must be the ADHD.” Each time, I point out that she’s a natural on video. Always the first to unmute on our Zooms. Tons to say. No fumbling, no ums, ers, or uhs. She hosts a podcast. No problem talking on camera, that one. And she knows who...

I talked Wednesday with an online marketing expert who told me the way to make my millions going forward is by selling you AI systems to write your marketing/newsletter emails for you. “That’s what people want,” this person said. “They want to take all the writing off their plate.” Girl. NOT MY PEOPLE. The rise of generative AI has clarified something for me (besides that it can suck a lint-covered lollipop): I’m for people who want to write. Who love to write, or want to love to write. And...

Hi! You know I started a Substack, right? Maybe not. Got it up and running about 5 weeks ago with this maiden post: It explains why I started a newsletter on Substack when I already have a whole thing going on over here with you, my email subscriber. It’s not about growing a huge audience — though that would be nice. It’s not about a fat new income stream from paid subscriptions or affiliate links — though that would be super nice. It’s not about getting in early on a new platform — though...

Hey Reader, This past week’s mixer for Selena Soo’s Rich Relationships Club was all about speaking. In our breakout room, we took turns answering the question, “What’s your ideal speaking gig?” When I described mine, I referenced one of the most fun events I’ve ever spoken at, Atomicon. It’s back this June — highly recommend. Early-bird tickets are 90% gone, so get yours now. I have to say, I tamped down my answer a bit because my dream speaking gig is a tall order. It takes place on a...

Hi, I’ve told you you HAVE to watch HBO’s Industry, right? I mean, not if you’re a prude. It’s debauched. Lotta bangin’, lotta drugs. As soon as my friend Vic told me about the drugs, I was in. She described it as Succession meets Euphoria. I’d say Billions meets Succession meets Euphoria, because it takes place in the banking world. (That’s the titular industry.) I lucked into starting that show and the book Buckeye at around the same time. Both of them deep binges for me. And then Belle...

Hey Reader, I’m on my way back from Los Cabos, Mexico, where I was on vacation with my mom and sis. Didn’t do a stitch of work — unless you include my daily 750 Words entries, which I don’t. I’m up to a 132-day streak, btw. My main responsibilities and/or activities were: 1 - Keeping to my new-ish morning routine. A duty only to myself — I’m so into it. No social media, no checking anything. Write down dream if I remember. Walk on the beach. Stop at room to grab laptop. Get to breakfast,...

I don’t understand astrology or put much stock in it, except that I identify strongly as a Scorpio because I’m obsessive and I notice I get along very well with Libras. (My husband being one.) Also, gotta believe in moon phases. They control the tides! That’s powerful stuff. I can’t control the sink sprayer. And, as I’m on my new “Woo Journey,” I’m open to whatever. So I was intrigued when I heard from my intuition coach, Deb Driscoll, that today marks a big event up in the galaxy. Aries,...
