feeling six-y???

celebrating 6 months of my newsletter- 14,000 subscribers, 900 paid, and a [sappy] reflection comin' your way. (pssst... and a FLASH SALE!)

Let’s rewind to March 1st of this year.

• I was sitting at my kitchen table.

• I was finally about to reveal the “secret project” I’d been hinting at for weeks...

• I mayyyy or may not have still been wearing my pajamas at 2PM (after feverishly doing “last minute details” all morning)

And I… was… nervous.

Because THAT was the day I pressed “publish” on the first post of my substack, The Reset.

^^ A screenshot from *exactly* 6 months ago— the moment I shared my “secret project”, and SO many of you called it. Substack just…. rocks.

Six Months Already?!

So, as I sit here today, 6 months later— I just feel so proud of this little newsletter that could.

14,000 subscribers (nearly 900 paid?!) and ranking at 17th on the overall health charts of Substack.

Like…. wow.

• Six INCREDIBLE months of feeling creative, inspired , and GENUINELY encouraged by this amazing community (ahem, you.). 

• Six months of growing my small business in an entirely new way. I feel abundant! I feel rewarded! I feel supported!

• Six months of leaning into my PASSION of sharing holistic (and realistic!) health tips…. with some lifestyle, mindset, and personal reflections mixed in, of course ;)

In a nutshell— it has truly been better than I ever imagined. EVERY subscription means so much to me.

• It feels like a true community.

• It feels INSPIRING to me (I have soooo many ideas)

• It feels magnetic & aligned.
  

• It just feels… right.

and, today, we are CELEBRATING!

Next up, we are going down memory lane and sharing my 6 most POPULAR posts. (AKA, the ones you guys have loved the most)

When compiling this list, I couldn’t help but smile that they are a 50/50 blend of tangible health topics *and* the more casual personal reflections.

The lineup feels very representative of The Reset— evidence-backed and responsible health information *and* quippy, lighthearted, and honest personal pieces.

Because, here’s the thing—

I take health seriously, but I never take myself too seriously ;) Enjoy these oldie-but-goodies!

the survey:

Here’s the thing— I LOVE feedback.

Good and bad. Seriously.

In my last corporate job, I asked my boss sincerely, “What can I do better? What could I improve?”

She said, “Kate…. this is your first week.”

HAHAHAH

Safe to say, I am SUPER chill & relaxed & not at all a teacher’s pet ◡̈ ◡̈ ◡̈ ◡̈ ◡̈

But, now that I left that corporate job and have my own business, *I* can ask for feedback whenever *I* want to!

Meet: this short ‘n’ sweet survey to pick YOUR brain!

It’s brief, to the point, and gets at the questions I’ve been DYING to know. And I can’t wait to hear from YOU! Take it below ◡̈

thank you. truly.

Okay, that’s a wrap on this sappy six month synposis.

To sum it up— this newsletter has felt BIG for me: emotionally, energetically, annnnd career-wise.

Not only am I living my passion of sharing REALISTIC health information and my personal writing, I am doing it in community— in an abundant, life-giving, energizing way.

After literal YEARS of creating content on my blog and instagram for free, it feels so affirming and encouraging to see (and feel) the support of this new venture. It feels like I am finally stepping into my worth and cultivating a little corner of the internet that I am *truly* proud of.

…and that wouldn’t be possible with out YOU.

I have the BEST community ever. Point blank.

I am truly grateful for *each and every one of you*. Free or paid subscriber, your presence here matters to me, and I am so happy to welcome this mini milestone with YOU here.

6 months down… and we are JUST gettin’ started!
