A few weeks ago I ran a poll asking paid subscribers what they wanted more of, and the answer came back loud and clear: You want to meet each other.

So that’s what we’re doing.

You’re all making something. I see it in your notes and comments, in the replies that turn into long back-and-forths. Publications finding their footing. Coaching practices getting off the ground. And now you’ve told me you want to be in a room with the other people doing it too.

So here’s the plan. Once a month, we get on a call together. The flow is simple:

You show up, introduce yourself, and tell everyone what you’re building. Then you make one ask. One thing you actually need help with right now. With 700+ paid subscribers someone on that call can probably help you (or they know someone who can!).

And here’s what I keep thinking about. The magic doesn’t end when we hang up.

Join 24K+ readers learning how to design a life they love, and a creative business that supports it.

Someone hears your ask and sends you a message that afternoon. The guest you’ve been trying to book says yes because you met in the chat. You find the person who’s three steps ahead of you and willing to show you how they did it. A collaboration starts. A cross-promo gets scheduled. The subscriber you didn’t know you needed finds your work because someone in the room shared it.

One hour a month, and you walk away with people who are actually in your corner. Not followers. People building alongside you, who want to see you win.

The first one is tomorrow: Wednesday, July 22nd | 9:00 a.m. PST, 12:00 p.m. EST, 5:00 p.m. GMT, 6:00 p.m. CET

This call is available for paid subscribers only ✨ Why join as a paid subscriber? ✨

  • Every Monday: Downloadable resources. Workbooks, digital tools, and guided rituals to help you live with intention and build the life/business you’re dreaming of.

  • 2x month: Becoming the Main Character in My Own Story. My year-long glow-up across fitness, nutrition, relationships, finances, mindset, and PCOS, with coaches and experts in each area. Twice a month, you’re getting the same guidance I am.

  • Monthly: Live Coaching. I go live once a month to answer your questions about Substack growth, creative entrepreneurship, living abroad, digital nomadism, and more.

  • Monthly: On the fourth Wednesday of every month, we host a Networking hour via zoom at 9am PST/ 12pm EST / 5pm GMT. Introduce yourself, share what you’re building, and make one ask. If anyone on the call can help, they jump in. A zoom link will be sent out the day prior each month.

For free + paid subscribers:

  • Substack Strategy Guides: What I’m learning, testing, and seeing work in real time as I grow Petal + Hearth, so you can apply it to your own publication.

  • Her Best Life: A series where I ask my favorite Substack creators to share the specific choices and rituals that have shaped the dreamy lives they have today, so you can borrow what fits your own.

  • Monthly Roundup: Curated recommendations from my life in France to keep you inspired. Books, tools, rituals, and everything I’m loving from this side of the world.

For the cost of a monthly chai latte + croissant, you’ll unlock the full Petal + Hearth experience — weekly downloads, private essays, and access to the growing Member Vault of resources designed to help you romanticize your everyday life.

Find the zoom link behind the paywall! But before we get there…
