Live: Substack tomorrow! "Desperation? Or A Better Creative Mindset"



Sunday, March 1, 2026

Hi Friend,

You're Invited to my 1st Substack Live!


I'm experimenting with Substack live because I'm having fun exploring all the possible platforms to share my messages.


This week's topic: "Don’t Decide from Desperation: A Better Creative Mindset."


With all that's happening in the world and how it impacts our daily life, it's easy to feel anxious and pissed off, scared, and frozen.


But it's so hard to feel resourceful and create from that place.


So what do we do?


I have thoughts!


Come spend 30 minutes with me and let's connect in the chat.


Tech willing! (This is an experiment!)

Happy Writing!

Beth
