Thank you for the launch info! It will be interesting to see India's newsletter. I love your P.S. Definitely going to look at Claire Walker Leslie.

The checklist is really helpful. Thanks for this. As we move towards the launch of a new project, it's really worth slowing things down, as you say.

I completely agree with this. I just said this to a young man on Friday. We want to "get the thing out there" but it certainly pays to plan it.

How do I find India’s substack? If that picture is her and her style, she’s adorable. I love how she styled herself into that shot.

Janisse, as always, thank you for your generosity in this post. I learned a lot! And I thought I knew about all this stuff. I love how you encourage creatives, esp women, the importance of believing in oneself and how not to be shy about sharing one’s strengths and accomplishments. Many of us were taught to be polite and not talk about ourselves too much. So your posts are quite the deprogramming. Bravo 👏❤️

Yay. Let's de-program. I have to confess, however, that I wrote a really self-centered-sounding, "I'm the best" kind of email yesterday. I sent it. It went to a lot of people. And then for the next few HOURS I had to work to regulate my nervous system. I was so worried about fallout. Actually, I don't think I'll say any more about this, Katie. I think I'll write a post about this. THANK YOU. xoxoxoxo
