A gathering place

Shifting into alignment + growing this community

Firstly, thank you for reading Brand Seasons and supporting my Substack.

With the arrival of my baby boy just a few days after my last post, life has been a little topsy turvy lately, and I was pretty ambitious about the time I thought I could dedicate to writing long-form content!

My mind has been swirling with thoughts, inklings and reflections. My notes app is heaving with ideas. My draft posts are aplenty. But it's been a challenge to string much, if anything, together. Brief bursts feel more comfortable. And, the truth is, I'm okay with that. In those tiny spaces between embracing summer moments with my children, the things I truly want to devote my energy to have began to bubble to the surface. My plans for this place are growing and changing, and feeling even more aligned.

Something these pockets of time have inspired is Notelets on Nurture, a Sunday morning series, where I’ll share content in a shorter, sweeter and simpler form. This feels attainable for me while I navigate recovery, parenting and other commitments. And the first notelet will be with you tomorrow on the theme of creature comforts! I hope you enjoy it.

“The loving personality seeks not to control, but to nurture, not to dominate, but to empower.”

— Gary Zukav

Inspired by an invitation I received to write a post for a fellow Substacker, I’d love to welcome subscribers to takeover my Notelets on Nuture from time to time. Nothing says community and connection quite like collaboration!
