Yes! I was kicking and screaming about joining yet another platform! Lol 💯 agree that women are craving community now more than ever. Excited to build here with women over 50! Yay!

Yaas!! I just turned 65, an Aquarius (with Pluto just moving into Aquarius for next 20 years!), a 2/4 Emotional Projector, Venus in Aries and Chiron in Pisces in the 8th house…I feel I was born to be here for this time, and that I’m just getting started! I’m 15 years past my Chiron Return and all the lessons of that time forged me into who I need to be to be here, Now to midwife into this new era of love ♥️

Substack is the place where we can finally go deep. Here, we get quality - and your Substack is a perfect example of that. That’s exactly why I’m subscribing to you. Thank you for this maturity.

It’s magical. My nervous system is so much more calm. 🙏🏻

Thank you for writing this post. And it all makes sense. At 53 I feel like I am steeped in wisdom and experience that brings great results for my clients but I just can’t seem to express that through Instagram. I’m going to give Substack a go based on your recommendation. 😉♥️

Agree. I just haven’t been able to have traction on Instagram. Although, ironically I am having a moment because I’m talking about Substack 😂

I have a Substack and post on it regularly. Starting the notes. 5/1 emo generator. I’m wondering if I’m too niche. I’m an event planner/designer talking all about events. But growth has been SLOW, like very SLOW. 58 with a ton to say…but maybe it needs to be a different angle here or events people just haven’t found it yet? And I’m an event coach as well coaching wedding planners and junior planners who want to get into corporate events.

How often are you engaging on others Notes and Articles?

Julie, thank you from the bottom of my ignited heart. This article feels like coming home. I literally receive visceral messages from my body when I go to post on Instagram or Facebook. So I don’t. Substack feels right. A great fit. Now, to rise and find my voice - for women in midlife. For bone health. For dementia. Thank you. Anita xx

Ohh this makes my heart sing 🩷. I’m fairly new to Substack and loving it. Everything you have said about the other platforms - totally agree. I’m 63, emotional manifestor 4/6 and shifting my focus as an energy therapist towards woman moving through the seasons of life. I’m loving showing up freely and authentically here, and making meaningful connections that light me up. My purpose/mission is more ignited than ever - thank you for giving me this word today.

I think every other paragraph I was nodding along going "Yes! Exactly!"

I have been building my coaching business for 3 years while also working full-time and raising 2 young boys. To say it's been hard is an understatement, although I've also been smack in the middle of my personal "phoenix transformation." I'm tired of posting to a void and hoping someone sees my work.

I love that I get to be in conversation with others here. To actually talk about what has me fired up, the rabbit hole I crawled out of after 3+ hours, and what I've learned along my own journey.

It's time for women to take the lead, because what men have built just isn't it.
