Welcome to The Power of Change, a weekly publication about mindset, resilience, healing, human connection, and the pursuit of joy - a community to help you create the change you want in your life.
What a week at The Power of Change! I don’t often write about my wins, but I couldn’t NOT share what’s happened in the past two weeks.
After being interviewed by the multi-talented Danusia Malina Derben for Parents Who Think two weeks ago, I was thrilled to be featured in three other Substack publications this past week.
First, my guest post on Kristina God’s Substack, The Online Writing School, appeared on Tuesday. What a thrill to be featured by Kristina and shared with her 8,500+ subscribers.
The response was more than I imagined.
Kristina is a powerhouse: a marketing brand manager by day, author, and creator of The Online School on Substack by night. She’s also a Mom to two small children and the hardest-working woman I know. If you missed the post, you can read it here.
Next, I was included in the Midstack, a new community for midlife women with Substacks. It’s managed by Jessica Smock and Steph Sprenger, the editors and co-founders of The HerStories Project and Midstory Magazine, a bestselling Substack started last year. I’m just getting to know some of the writers in this community, and it’s inspiring on so many levels.
Then, on Saturday, I was included in David Mcilory’s weekly roundup on his successful Substack How To Write For a Living. David is another powerhouse- author, business owner, solopreneur, and content creator from Northern Ireland. Each Saturday, he shares Saturday Morning Coffee with his 13,000+ subscribers. I also participated in a week-long class run by Kristina and David where the takeaways were many!
In addition to these features, I connected with dozens of new readers on Substack Notes. If you’re not yet using the Substack app, consider downloading it for the full experience, including Notes. I post short content on Notes daily. It’s a great way to connect with new readers and collaborate with other writers. Think of Notes as the kinder, nicer alternative to social media (there’s no hate speech, divergent opinions that turn nasty, or endless ads)
I share this news not to boast but to remind you that anyone with a goal or a dream and the willingness to work hard can be successful.
It’s not easy, as I sacrifice nights, weekends, and free time with family and friends to make it happen, but anything is possible.
I’m grateful to everyone who has joined the community and supported me by reading, sharing, commenting, and subscribing.
But this is just the beginning.
My goal is to expand the community to 10,000+ strong💪 and help change more lives.
To help those questioning the direction their life is headed.
For those at a crossroads, uncertain which path to take.
For those who are alone and need support.
For those entering a new stage in their life - parent, empty-nester, widow/widower.
For those who are chronically ill and isolated.
For those who need a little inspiration to keep going.
For those in the midst of challenging times.
This is my mission.
And, of course, I’ll continue to advocate for those with chronic Lyme and tick-borne diseases so they get the attention, treatment, and support they deserve.
These goals and my mission are significant, but I’ve always been one to aim high. If you find value in my work and this community, please consider a paid subscription to help me make it happen. Enjoy 20% off until September 30th, the last special for 2024.
If you can’t contribute as a paid subscriber, please continue to share my posts with others and spread the word about The Power of Change’s growing community.
Until next week, be mindful and stay safe.

For those who don’t know me outside of Substack, I’m a marketing consultant, real estate broker, and freelance writer. As a marketing consultant, I help businesses, solopreneurs, and other writers develop communications plans to meet their needs and create and raise brand awareness. My 15+ years as a marketing executive is the basis for this work.
In real estate, I work with buyers, sellers, and investors to find their next destination. I’m located in New England, but I have referral partners all over the world.
