Welcome Leah! Absolutely brilliant to have you here! My story of why I washed up on the lovely substack beach is very similar and so far it feels like a warm hug in comparison to those other toxic cesspits. I look forward to reading your posts. Check out mine if you have a minute xx
Here for this and I really look forward to learning more from your body of work. I’m not a midwife, but I also have a track record of walking away from bullshit situations that don’t align with my values AND zero tolerance for f*ckery or being told how I should ‘show up’ on other platforms. I’m ready to show up as myself and share my story and experiences to those who are here for a bit more meaningful interaction than a 7 second looping reel. Don’t get me wrong, that stuff is fun (well it was, for while), but it’s all getting a bit too dystopian now. I’m with you. 🙌🏻
Hell yes to all of this! Thank you so much for following me over here. We just have to follow our gut intuition when we sense f*ckery, and social media (especially certain platforms) is increasingly full of it. I suspect the worst is still to come. I’ll try to contribute to the general vibe of smart, inquisitive, creative community on this app!
This is a fantastic start! What a great opening post.
Thanks Nicky!
Absolutely here for all of this! 👏 looking forward to your weekly newsletters ☺️

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Yes! Excited to see you here and to read this awesome post - I’m a new girl too and a not-so-proficient writer, but this space feels good 👍🏽
Looking forward to reading your newsletter - I think I signed up!
You’re a much more proficient writer than you think! Thanks for finding me here.
The comments section here already seems more delightful. And so true about being perceived, a little haven away from the male gaze.
Yes, I already feel supported and inspired. Looking forward to sharing more in weeks to come.

Yes yes yes to all of this! As we said earlier, looking forward to more intention and deeper connections 🫶🏼🤞🏼
For sure! It’s all about maintaining the connections that matter. Thank you for following me to yet another social medium!
