I’ll say :) Apparently we can impact people and not even know it!

Thanks ladies! 100%. Actions speak louder than words (which is confusing as writers 😂) and Simone you were a top role model in Cohort 7 and beyond! Hence why they contracted you to work for them - David said it best in our cohort 9 kickoff call "Simone was a stand out student in cohort 7!"

Appreciate that I got to share cohort 7 with both of you as Christin, you were a stand out too bringing the calm vibes amid the chaos and facilitating the women's writing group. 💜

Gushing with appreciation, Alex. Keep at it, girl. You’re so many people’s inspiration. I hope to join you once again, when my reason for writing is clearer than my need for consistency. ❤️

Aww I'm glad! Thank you so much for helping me get this far. 😊

When I think of how many people launched newsletters with us and then stopped writing a few weeks or months in (which is totally fair because man, it was tough to stick with at times! 😅), I'm so grateful that I had you as a role model making it happen and embracing imperfections along the way.

Made me way less critical of myself. I stopped caring about "what time it was" or if I missed a typo and could have phrased something better in hindsight. I'm so grateful our paths crossed in Cohort 7! I loved every cohort I did afterward but cohort 7 was peak WOP for me. 💜

Stumble Buddies! I LOVE that term. A coined phrase if I ever heard one. This is going to stick with me. Did you come up with that?? What a perfect phrase to describe an absolute necessity on the path of growth.
