Welcome To The Community
A long overdue introduction to the Purposely You community.
I write and talk about self and the work it takes to maintain the journey of being Purposely You. However, Having support along your journey with yourself is just as important. If it weren’t for the support of my community, my journey would be way more complicated than it is. Sometimes just having someone to hear you out will make a difference. I know it can be difficult to trust someone with anything personal, especially nowadays, but if you can find one person to connect with and trust, you won’t feel alone.
With that being said, drumroll, please.🥁
Welcome to Purposely You’s Community! Your safe space to get things off your chest, join conversations, read cultural topics, explore interviews, ask questions, and be part of all things community-related. You are not alone in this journey of being purposely you!
I invite you to join the Purposely You community! I’m so excited about this section of Purposely You! I can’t wait to get to know all of you, answer any questions you might have, and continue to share my life discoveries with you all.
💬 Purposely You Subscriber Chat:
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
✍🏽 Substack Notes:
I just published my first note on Substack Notes, and would love for you to join me there!
Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress or quick questions.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to PURPOSELY YOU, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of PURPOSELY YOU can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Let’s grow together! Always remember to be purposely you!
