Hi First name / Slothy!
50 issues.
I'll be honest… I didn't know if we'd get here.
Not because I didn't believe in The Vine. But because showing up every two weeks, with something real to say, for two years straight… is harder than it looks.
There were weeks I sat down to write and had absolutely nothing.
Weeks where I genuinely wondered if any of this was landing.
But I kept coming back.
Because this newsletter was never really about me.
It was about us! This little cozy corner of the internet where ambitious women could actually take a load off. Where we get to exhale. Where nobody's pretending everything is fine. Where we trade what's actually working over what looks good in theory.
50 issues of that.
And here's the thing I keep coming back to as I sit with this milestone:
Consistency isn't about being inspired. It's about having a system.
There were plenty of weeks I didn't feel like writing. But I had a process and a template. I knew what each issue needed. And that simple, repeatable, zero bells structure is what got us here.
Which is kind of on-brand for us, isn't it?
So thank you!
Thank you for opening this email and the
49 others (if you're a day-one Vine subscriber).
You are the reason I keep showing up.
Here's to 50 more.
Now I can't be the only one showing up, doing hard things, and calling it a milestone celebration! I know you all are crushing it too! So here's what I want to hear from you:
What's something you've kept showing up for even when it was hard?
Hit reply and get showered with confetti! 🥳🥳
