I’m curious to hear from you. What are the big, unanswered questions you’re wrestling with this spring? What’s been helping you cope with that uncertainty?
I love all of this, Maddie! And also feel like I could have written it myself! Definitely feel like I'm living through a period of uncertainty, which isn't all bad but can definitely be challenging! I needed the advice of one foot in front of the other this morning!
Maddie! So excited for your one year and I’m so grateful our paths have crossed. When you talked about the friendships made through these newsletters, I was nodding my head along in agreement. I finally feel like this is a type of social media I actually genuinely like/is productive/rewarding.
I love this new series. Thank you so much for including me! 🥹❤️🔥
Extremely impressed with your web design study. That takes a special kind of patience. And YAY for April! Very much looking forward to your newsletters about creativity. 😍
Uncertainty is part of life, I'm afraid. It's the daily conversations we all have with ourselves that boost our sense of self-worth or dump us into depressive disorder, even for those of us who are not bi-polar. Grasping it and moving forward takes courage and judgment. Bravissima!
Yesss so much resonates with me here! Wintering, Money Diaries (SO GOOD), and @oliviamuenter's "I don't want friends, I want connection." Have you seen Olivia's new "Desk Tour" posts? I'm obsessed!
Maddie!! I have SO much to talk to you about!! It might require a zoom if you’re so inclined? First, I live in Victoria, have an Airbnb and I’m currently reading (and writing about) Katherine May’s Wintering. 😳
Next time we have to coordinate a substack meetup! I love everything about this post.
"Take a step, step again, it is all that I can to do the next right thing." <- I don't often quote Disney movies, but Frozen 2 is full of SO MANY good anecdotes about transition and finding your inner power. Love the new format and looking forward to the next iteration!
Oh this is a brilliant addition to Y5YP, friend! It feels like such a lovely touch point for you, first and foremost! The fact that we get to read it is icing on the cake 🎂
I love this combination of using self-advocacy, interdependence, and creativity to embrace uncertainty in a value-aligned way. (And thank you for the shout-out to my newsletter--you truly made my day, Maddie!)

Nice get-away to Victoria, BC! I know it well.

Great post, Maddie. And happy almost one year anniversary! So glad I met you here! ☺️

I’ve added those books onto my want to read list! 📚 I always love a book recommendation ☺️
Great post Maddie! Especially love the interdependence conversation (from a reforming independence junkie). Thanks for the inspiration!

"writerly stars they're just like us" is SO up my alley! and can't wait to read Slow Productivity 😉

I think by "roasted' you mean "a gentle nudge". 😂
