🗞️ Hot Off the Press
🎙️ Podcast
In a brand new episode of the Internet People podcast, Anna and MJ get into:
💸 A technique more effective than ~manifesting~ money
😫 What to do when you have nobody to be accountable to (but you need accountability to function)
💭 How the “grass is greener” mentality is preventing you from getting where you want to go
We had such a great time recording this conversation that we feel like no one talks about — sometimes you can be a litttle too delulu with your dreams and the real hack is…. well, you’ll just have to tune in and hear more about it 🤭
This you?
If you keep finding yourself planning to write… but always finding something more important (scrolling TikTok) instead — same here.
That’s why we started Writing Club 🪶
Writing Club is a weekly, 90-minute writing session designed to create accountability, community and support so you can actually sit down and write.
And it’s only $10/month!

If you’ve ever caught yourself googling capitalization rules for your newsletters, subject lines, or documents, we found the best capitalization tool on the Internet. MJ uses it every week while putting the final touches on the upcoming newsletter (and always declares her gratitude for how effective it is!)
Is the website beautiful? No. But it works — esp the “quick copy” feature.

One of our favorite neurodivergent creators, Ellie Middleton, put out a podcast episode called 10 things I wish I knew when I got my ADHD diagnosis. If you’re unfamiliar with Ellie, trust us, you’ll love her.
Fun fact: Ellie started her podcast after hearing about Shitty First Drafts from this episode of our podcast!
