For what it's worth, I don't mind that your newsletter isn't weekly. I'm forgetful sometimes, too, and it's a nice surprise when I do see it in my inbox. :) Take care of yourself!

I started my newsletter a couple months ago and I've felt disappointed with myself that I'm not able to pump out content as much as I had hoped. This felt like permission to take it slow, which is never the messaging creatives receive. I like creating to create! Thanks for reminding me of that <3

You have such a gift. This feels like it was written FOR me. It's easy to allow outside pressure and best practices to influence our decision-making in a way that defies our core materials. I needed this reminder. And, no matter the timeline or cadence, I'll always be here to read or listen to what you have to say. xo

I love this so much. I want you as a person to be ok! But also, I hope it’s comforting to know that weekly was a lot for me too as a hayeselnut. I felt the pressure to keep up every week because I love your content so much, but it was a lot for me too. Not having anything was sad too. I’m super excited for me! And you!

Also, as my own tidbit, I think we all feel the pressure of “more” and I think we all need to slow down. And, as a Swiftie, imagine if we expected a new Taylor swift song every week. That would be crazy. Artists shouldn’t be held to rigid timetables. You’re a writer, an artist, Alexandra.
