Thank you for this post! I started my Substack this year too and I'm still filled with anxiety and overwhelm. I needed to hear these words of wisdom on learning.

Thanks, Catherine! I am so glad you find my reflections helpful! Anxiety and overwhelm have certainly been regular guests in my fledgling Substack career. One morning, I literally sat in the kitchen crying because I couldn't figure out a technicality I don' even remember now. In hindsight, I have to smile about myself because my reaction seems overdramatic. But in the moment I absolutely felt the pain.... Wishing you all the best for your newsletter endeavor! Seems our topics are similar. ☀️
