Why I am here.
What is my Substack?
I started blogging in 2009 as I way to connect with myself. I really didn’t think anyone else would read it, it was for me. I had never really journaled or written before then. It didn’t seem fun, it felt like work. But, something shifted for me.
At the time, I was doing a 42 day logbook and one of the daily action items prompted me to do something for myself. For some reason starting a blog was what I chose. I let myself type freely (as I am now). Just letting what wanted to come out, come out. Often times I would think I was going to write about one thing and once I started to type it went in a different direction.
It was healing, it was empowering, it was magical. A few months in, I remember clearly declaring myself a writer as I finished yet another blog from my friend Anya Marina’s apartment. It just felt so freaking good! At that point I was blogging almost daily! Everyday without pressuring myself something new came to me that I wanted to say, share, work out on the page.
It was for me AND people started to read it. I was shocked that me sharing about what came up for me that day in my own life, connected with other people. All those many years ago is when I first dreamt about writing a book, multiple books. I loved letting myself loose on the page and I loved that people got something for themselves from what I shared.
My writing and sharing continued on my email list, and on social media through many platforms and my Claim it! Podcast, too! I have been sharing From My Heart for over a decade in many different forms and I have noticed over the last year (maybe more) that I have been holding back.
Every day, I have so much to share and say. As it comes to me, I make notes of it and many of them I never get around to sharing anywhere. Some of the reason it doesn’t get posted is because I have so many places to share now - which one do I choose? Do I make an IG post, share it in stories, a TikTok, a newsletter, a podcast? Is it an idea for a book or a phrase for a product?
THIS From The Heart SPACE is now going to become my GO TO place!
And bonus that it will go directly to you! You don’t have to wait for the algorithm to bring it to you! It will come straight to your inbox and you can always come to the page or app to scroll through and see what is new or discover what it is you need to read in that moment from past shares.
I am excited to cultivate this space and community (you can comment on posts as a paid member)!
Being here feels so freeing to me!
I am excited to get back to sharing more of my old school style blogs sharing from my life/day and what I realized/got clarity on AND I will also be sending out short straight to the heart, mind and pep talks. So some times you may get a 2000 word blog and some days you may get 3 sentences that I want you to hear and feel. I will also send out journal prompts and mantras for you to utilize and share some of my favorite things of the week too!
As a paid member you will also be able to write in to get support/advice/feedback in a monthly ASK TRICIA column!
The audio sessions will be different than my solo Claim it! Podcasts. They won’t be talking about me, they will be talking right TO your heart and they will be much shorter. 2-10 minutes of pouring love into you! There will also be call and response type of affirmation guides were I say an affirmation to you and leave space for you to repeat it!
And that is just the beginning of what I am creating with joy, intention, ease and so much freaking love!
xo, Tricia
