“You are not required to do anything groupy” - best sentence I’ve ever read.

I’m thrilled that you’re here! Reading your past work helped me to give up on the torturous quest to become someone I wasn’t and to accept my quiet, contemplative soul as the gift it is! My field of nonprofit environmental law favors those who can advocate publicly and often, who can lobby elected officials, and who love to litigate. But I’ve worked hard to cultivate a career where I can quietly research and analyze policy proposals and land use plans, and use my written words to make real change in a different way. I 100% credit my reading Quiet a decade ago for starting me on that path. I look forward to deepening that journey here in my favorite online forum. So glad you’re here!!

Okay, I've been dipping in and out of here for eight hours. I finally feel like I'm all caught up, and it's past my bedtime, so I must take my leave. This beautiful place is full of light and love and like-hearted souls. I am grateful. Thank you once again, Susan, for your vision. If you're still here, I bid you a peaceful night. ❤️

Hello. I have subscribed. Will it all be through this app? I’m a little confused. Thank you.

Hi Lucy - a lot will be via the app and email, but there will also be other things like the candlelight AMA on Sunday dec 17, which will be on zoom.

Hi there! For some reason I'm not seeing the paid content (the voice mail), though I see the subscription payment on my card. Apologies for putting here, but I cannot find a contact to help me. Thanks!

Hi there, Misty! If you click on the header "The Quiet Life with Susan Cain: a Community" you'll see a menu. Voicemails is one of the options. We're new to figuring this out so if you still can't find it let me know. Welcome!

Thank you, Renee! I was able to find the voicemail, but it’s telling me it’s for paid subscribers and I’ve already paid. I did figure out how to message Substack this morning so waiting to hear back from them.

Hi, Misty! Paul, my tech person, says he can help but he needs the email you signed up with (not your Substack handle). If you prefer to tell me privately, my email is RENEE@QUIETREV.COM. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much, Renee! I'll email you in just a moment.

Oh, thanks for the clarification! I hope Substack can help but just in case I've written to my tech person who will look into it to see if we can help on our end. I hope you'll be able to listen to it soon. I loved it! Have a great weekend!

I subscribed & paid for a year with The Quiet Life Community but I don't see where I am connected...? All I see is Substack...? Can someone help me ?

Hello, again! I thought I'd also share a couple of additional tips: it's best if you can download the Substack app so you can be notified of things as they happen. And, if you go to "NOTES" there will be daily-ish art posts and other things!

It sounds like you're almost there. Instead of starting out with Substack's login, it might be easier to type TheQuietLife.net, and there you can find Kindred Letters, and also look under “Chat” for chats you can participate in, and under “Voicemails” for the first Voicemail you can listen to.

You should also check your email for announcements of new chats, kindred letters, and upcoming gatherings, such as this Sunday’s candlelight AMA on Zoom. I hope this helps!

I would like to obtain approval to cover the cost of subscriptions with you and find a way to help me create radically improved content and achieve more results in a simpler and faster way. I became dizzy and tired - I am afraid that I will go crazy or my eyesight will weaken. I tried repeatedly to succeed, excel, and generate income by working on the Internet? The bottom line is no. A person can swim in the ocean even though he does not know how to swim, and no one teaches him how to swim. This is my situation now
