A branding prompt that stopped me in my tracks...

I love that our platforms get to be our own worlds but when

Claire Venus

prompted:

How would you best describe your Substack if it were a place?

I froze 😳 

I started on Substack because I love all the platform can do- it’s limitless and brilliant. ✨

With one push of a button I can create, share and market in whatever way feels good that day. I.e. 

• Today I might take my journal and record a video on my thoughts (which then becomes an SEO friendly blog you can read and is added to my podcast at the same time.)

• Tomorrow I might write a note and paste that into a post, adding pictures, maybe recording an article voiceover for those who like to listen.

• Some days I might create a YouTube video or a course and embed that into the post.

I was so swept up in the utility of it all that I forgot about the space itself… the vibe…. the feel.

(Ironic seeing I created a whole studio with this in mind first🤦🏼‍♀️)

So after a few hours on Pinterest (and

Elin Petronella

’s prompt running in my head- how do you want your people to feel after they’ve interacted with you) I put this board together to reflect that:

Tuning In is a space for deep, real, meaningful conversations about living life with intention. Cozied up on the living room couch with your two closest girlfriends and a cup of something delicious ☕️  legs wrapped up like a pretzel, blanket hugging you, then after a breath you say “ok- go!” (Because we finally have a minute for mom talk.)

It’s where we get intentional and curious and prompt each other to get to the root and heart of it all so we can live the free and fulfilled Mompreneur lives we crave 💕✨

And this realization has made me think deeper in terms of my IRL space too.

If this is the vibe I’m creating with my offerings… wouldn’t my physical space feel better this way too?

I haven’t made any changes yet but the idea keeps tumbling through my mind and the feeling is one I can’t let go of.

Because for me- it’s all about the intentionality… and once I feel it… I can’t go back.

Maybe this little aha will help you reflect on the world you’re creating too?

• Can you see it?

• Describe it?

• Feel it?

• And how does that match up with your real life?

Let me know in the comments!
