Ah… gotcha!
When you’re 50plus you hear a lot about board certified clinical professional counselor Ellen.
Yes, I feature her in my Club but also is she present on Substack Notes, the doorway to your beautiful Substack publication, every single day. Even when she got a hip surgery a few days back.
Late summer 2025, Ellen faced a common dilemma - how to start building an audience when I don’t feel like a writer.
She reached out to me and others for advice, attended the Substack Notes Bootcamp 2025, we had a 1:1 and what she received was simple yet profound:
“Start writing and build the foundation for your house that is Substack, make it your home over time, trust the process, turn on the paid button and watch it change your life.”
Fast forward about half a year later, and supergirl Ellen has accomplished just that.
