Substack Soul Session
Clarity, setup, and soul for your Substack start
This is a 1:1 session to help you begin your Substack journey with clarity, confidence, and soul.
Whether you’re dreaming of a personal newsletter, a paid publication, or a storytelling space that doesn’t require shouting to be heard—this offering is here to support you.
What We'll Cover
This is not a cookie-cutter marketing session. It’s a creative, strategic, and soulful conversation rooted in who you are and what you’re here to share.
Together, we’ll explore:
What Substack Really Is
And how it can become a home for your writing, your readers, and your deeper message.
Setting Up Your Space
We’ll go over the essentials: publication name, about page, welcome email, sections, and visual layout. If you haven’t launched yet, you’ll leave with a clear map of what to do next.
Voice + Visuals
We’ll uncover the soul of your publication—tone, themes, rhythm, and simple branding (fonts, colours, header image) that align with your message and mood.
Growing with Integrity
You’ll learn gentle, organic ways to invite readers in—without burning out or becoming a content machine.
Sustainability + Soul
We’ll talk about how to build a writing rhythm that supports your life, not drains it. This is about longevity, not performance.
Who This Is For
This session is for you if:
You’re just starting out and want help making sense of Substack
You feel overwhelmed by the tech, the setup, or what to write
You’re pivoting your writing toward something more aligned and personal
You want a publication that feels like home, not a performance
You long to write consistently, clearly, and with soul
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have anything written already?
Not at all. You’re welcome to come with a blank page and a feeling. This session helps you clarify your direction and start strong.
Can we work on my existing Substack instead of starting fresh?
Absolutely. If you already have a publication but want to refine, rebrand, or relaunch—I’ve got you.
Is this just for writers?
It’s for anyone who wants to share stories, insights, or soul-rooted work—coaches, creatives, guides, mothers, thinkers, dreamers.
Will I be able to launch after this session?
Yes!—or at least have everything in place to do so. You’ll leave with clarity, a checklist, and the support to move forward.
