One of the topics Sarah and I discussed is the importance of writing in inviting settings that you can’t wait to inhabit. This one looks pretty good! Image via @ocean.

Last week, 400 people joined us for a live event with Sarah Fay, PhD, who’s a writer and also a maestro of how to work and thrive on Substack. I highly recommend her Substack!

And, if you missed our conversation, the video replay is below!

We discussed:

*How and why I write my “newsletters” (I really dislike that word) as Kindred Letters;

*How to love your writing life;

*Envy and jealousy of other writers;

*The magic of our Quiet Life Candlelight Chats;

*Why “vibe” is the word of 2026;

*and more.
