1-1-1: the truth about motivation

read about how to find your motivation when you seem stuck in a loop and (for subscribers) get access to the exclusive advice box.

january, 2025

edition 61.

hello substack friends :’) I am writing this while curled up under my weighted blanket after a very tough but very mentally rewarding long run today. I feel like I’ve been living life for other people lately (ah, the people pleaser life) and I am challenging myself to do more things for myself and be intentional with my time. it’s hard, it always is, but the rewards are worth it.

this is my first substack edition behind a paywall which feels a little strange. I started this substack to be a way I could be unfiltered and unpolished on the internet. I love writing and I love giving advice and I felt like a newsletter would be a perfect medium for me to share my thoughts with you all. I had always intended for the substack to be free, as I believe mental health education should be free, but I also feel strongly about compensating people for their time, effort, energy, and knowledge. if any previous editions have touched you or you find the newsletter valuable in any way, please consider supporting me monetarily so I can continue to provide value in any way I can <3

I have two subscription models, a monthly payment of $6 USD or a yearly payment of $60 USD. half of my newsletters will be behind a paywall in 2025, and my free editions will also be paywalled after 6 months of their initial publication date. thank you to anyone who chooses to support me in this way.

finally, this edition is for subscribers only. if you find my writing valuable and you want to support my work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber — a monthly subscription is $6, around a price of a coffee. you’ll get access to all of my previous editions, free and paid.
