If Substack is all over your feed and you're wondering if you should jump in, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I cut through the noise and break down exactly what you need to consider before adding (or switching to) Substack as a content and community platform. This is not about hype or trends; it’s about alignment, longevity, and choosing platforms that actually support the business model you’re building.

Whether you’re a coach, creator, or content-first entrepreneur, this episode will help you make a clean, informed decision about whether Substack fits your visibility strategy or if it’s just another shiny distraction.

This is a starting place for you where I discuss:

  • What Substack is (and isn’t) when used well
  • The key difference between an email list and a Substack publication
  • Why most people who burn out on Substack never had a long-term strategy to begin with
  • The audience-building mistake people are making on both IG and Substack
  • When it’s time to start fresh on Substack and when to integrate it into your current funnel
  • Who shouldn’t start a Substack (even if it seems like everyone else is)
  • How I would personally use Substack to grow a values-driven, service-led brand

With love,
