If you’re new to my world - hi I’m Claire. I started my journey here on Substack in April 2022 and have grown organically across two publications to welcome 16k readers. It’s been a joy. I write Creatively Conscious and host a membership hub and seasonal magazine over at Sparkle on Substack. I live on the Northumberland Coast in the UK with my husband, two kids and our pet puppy - a whippet called Stella. Whippets sleep a lot and she’s our constant reminder to rest as well as create. https://sparkleon.substack.com - https://creativelyconscious.substack.com/

I'm Carla, whippets are so cool! They did sleep a lot! We have an Australian silky terrier (or terror). He's fun, loyal and also over excited dynamite.

Why have I joint your class? Because Lisa Bolin from flicking flourishing told me to, and she is always spot on!

I feel my homepage lacks the 'me' factor! I usually find tech platforms easy and I am sure sub-stack will feel like that too, but at the moment it is vast. I'd love to add more buttons to link to other work. I'd like to know how to organise what is highlighted and what is not, like how can I pop a picture of me with the dog in without a life story and add content with it being overwhelming.

I am happy with my growth since being here. I don't write primarily, I podcast atm to connect to my audience, women on the hop usually, who don't always 'prioritise' time to read. Once I can organise my site I have some moments in time I'd love to share. And I will set up an EFT tapping membership as I really do create transformation with the 3 decades I've spend resetting my own mindset. I have online courses and workshops as well as 1 to 1s and am a best kept secret! Most of all Claire I'd like to see what is possible and be inspired by someone lit up about substack!
