That’s really kind of you, Zoe. Thank you 🥹 I think it’s important to share these moments from time to time, if only to remind others they’re not alone 💛

Loved this Sarah, the playlist is also so divine. I love listening to writers chosen music to accompany their words. Feels so much more connected somehow, to be listening to the same music you have been listening to, even in different countries and time zones. I am loving the guest introductions in these posts too. Collaboration is such an expansive tool in so many ways. L xo

Glad you enjoyed it, Lisa! Nina’s words are always so soothing. And I was just saying to someone the other day that I think I have a playlist problem. I have another coming in a week or two!

Also, thank you for coming aboard the good ship branding! Very pleased to have you and to excited to explore all things strategy, styling and storytelling in our growing hub 💛

A wonderful post Sarah ❤️ - totally agree how something small can be so significant and bring back memories too. I adore your playlist, it helped keep me calm having it in the background during a stressful morning getting the kids ready for school the other morning so thank you! Great words by Nina too,I am here for the cosiness and craft, actually doing some crochet now whilst dipping in and out of Substack. Hope you have a wonderful first Christmas as a family of four,so special 🎄✨️

Wishing you a happy new year, Jenna. Hope the festive period brought some magic ✨

So pleased you enjoyed the playlist. I think I have a playlist problem 😂 looking forward to making more this year...I have another to share!

And apologies for my tardy reply. I no longer get notifications for comments on posts and I’ve no idea why. Must investigate!

Happy New Year to you too Sarah! Hope you had a lovely festive break too.

I listened to that playlist loads over Christmas - I think it's a real skill to do a good playlist, and I love that you enjoy making them. Looking forward to listening to the new one!

Actually, this happens to me too, I get all other notifications but not for comments on my posts, which are the most important notification really! I did look into it but couldn't find and answer - let me know if you find out how to change it too x

Strangely, I was notified about this reply before I found what I *think* is the solution. I either disabled something in settings (don’t think I did) or Substack updated the settings! But it seems you can toggle on/off notifications for initial comments. Sent you a message on Instagram 💛

Ah I see - oh thank you so much, will check over on Insta x

So many small moments around a vulnerability, thank you for sharing it Sarah 🤍 I could almost feel it in my hands too.

I'm also so struck by those 'Big Sis' tags, Sarah. What a thing to have held on to. The hope infused in them and your innate, deep (maybe unconscious?) knowing that they would be needed. Sending much love to you for this vulnerable sharing, and thank you also for introducing me to Nina's brilliant words.

I certainly held onto them out of hope 🥰 and Nina’s words are such a tonic, aren’t they? She runs beautiful supper clubs too. Can’t wait to go someday 😍
