I love this, Steph, and find it especially validating after having just re-pivoted my Substack (re-naming it, reflecting a re-framing of the theme). I say "re-pivoted" because when I started it in late 2023 it was a pivot from the blogging I'd been doing before. 🤪 It can be embarrassing to zig and zag sometimes, in a world that somehow still celebrates those who do the same thing for 40 years. To quote another idea from Liz Gilbert (I saw that you linked Big Magic, a bible of creative living), my path is more like the hummingbird's: it looks chaotic, but there's a rhythm and a purpose to it that eventually unfolds. 💫
Loved this one. So much useful info and a wink to the importance of flexibility. Brava
Flexibility is my middle name, except when it’s not…😜 still working on that so I’m reminding myself!!

I noticed your pivot! It really is a creative act to try something different, approach things from a new angle. I think you are becoming a master! 😊
