A friend of mine, a fellow writer, whom I respect, wrote to me recently and said, “I think you need to work out a persona that is Suzanne but not Suzanne who is too open about her own life.”She made this comment in response to a discussion we had about some of my followers who message me with varying degrees of audacity.

Have I ever told you that from Substack recommended to start a podcast? We chatted and she suggested to start a Substack native podcast for The Online Writing Club. I’m super grateful for this nudge because I went from rock bottom to 34,000 downloads! Woohoo. I still remember my first podcast episode on Substack - in August 2024 - with my baby in my lab. The guest? Medium Top Writer — who became a first-time book author of Shy by Design. And the coolest part?

And how much money you can make (from a Substack bestseller)I didn’t dare to turn on paid subscriptions. Last January I turned them on!I started with $100, then earned $1000 then $10,000. An amazing journey so far. You can do it, too. No matter how teeny tiny your newsletter is and no matter what topic you’re writing about. Substack is THE BEST PLACE to be at the moment and the motto of The Online Writing Club is:Get paid to be you!But I made a huge mistage. Let me explain.

Put a hand up if you’ve ever…🤚🏻Felt like everything is jacked. 🤚🏻Thought Substack is a space to make sense of it. 🤚🏻Felt like what you’re reading and watching in the news is not normal. For today’s podcast I invited tribe member (William A. for “Anonymous”; Finnegan is his nom de plume) from The Long Memo and Borderless Living to share his insights.

Hello Friends!How often do you feel that your viewpoint is represented in the media? I often find myself watching interviews where powerful individuals are allowed to make nonsensical statements with little to no pushback. The general public absorbs misinformation at an astonishing rate and to the detriment of us all. Rational, educated people are never allowed any time for a rebuttal.

I attribute 44% of my Substack newsletter success to — can you fill in the blank? What is it? — recommendations. Yep, free recommendations!That’s why I’m hosting a Recommendations Masterclass tomorrow at 3pm EST for paid members. While I’ve been joyfully growing my soulful newsletter business from zero to 12,000 subscribers, I realized how powerful Substack’s recommendation engine is and that it helps me to grow 44% faster.

Dear Writer,Here you are with your book finished. You look out the window on the bus on your way home after a day at your boring job. A job that feels like a grey cloud blocking the sun on a winter afternoon. You hold on to your 9-5 solely because you need to make some money to pay the rent and keep yourself alive. Your heart aches at the thought of having children, or worse, if you have them, how can you give them the life they deserve? You know you love writing. It’s where everything flows.

Have you ever hesitated to share your story? Have you ever questioned whether people want to hear it? Do you think it's scary to share your mess publicly?

Let me ask you a simple but powerful question:"Are you happy with what you're doing?"Scared of the answer? You are not alone! Actually, you're in good company. This question has ruined the life of today's show guest . His 90-year-old Chinese grandmother from Singapore asked him this exact question at the beginning of last year. Michael answered: “Yes.”…at least he thought he was happy. Michael had the fancy corporate title - he got promoted to a Director (wow!). He had the house. The income.
