Substack advice from the founder of Every Body Gets Dressed.

Plus: A creative challenge.

When I interviewed Liza Belmonte, editor and founder of Every Body Gets Dressed, with guest co-host Bec Mapes, Bec asked Liza what way-finding she would offer newcomers navigating Substack today. This moment in our conversation did not make the final cut of our interview, but I am unearthing it here today because her answer contained some hard won pearls of wisdom that are worth sharing.

Bec also closed out this pocket of our conversation with sage advice on how to redefine your relationship to social media. Her insights made me reexamine how I move and engage with those spaces. What you will appreciate most is that her approach puts sustainability (emotional, energetic) at the forefront of the conversation. I personally really needed to hear what she had to say, and I have a feeling readers here will as well.
