This week I got sick with a cold. It forced me to slow down. I chose to rewatch one of my favorite movies – Practical Magic. 🦋
It takes me back to a time when I could relate to the main characters.
I was bullied and called a “Witch” in middle school. It taught me to keep my head down and don’t get noticed.
All my writing for ten years was done in secret!
But WHOOPS Plot twist.
🌿 When I decided I wanted to be my own boss,
and
🌿 pursue a creative, self-employed, healing occupation,
that meant
I 💜 had 💜 to 💜 market 💜 myself.
🦋 TO WRITE
🦋 SHARE,
🦋 SHOW UP
Ahhhh!!!!! Scary.
Having to market my business forced me to confront all my inner demons around showing up, and being visible–
even though it scared me and made me feel like I was making a target 🎯of myself,
if I wanted a profitable business I had to market myself anyway!
Little did I know that marketing would become a healing process.
I no longer need to a label to describe what my spirituality is.
I’m less of a witch, and more witchy.
💜 I don’t follow a set of beliefs.
💜 I aim to do no harm, to be of service and to stay connected to the land. I honor the indigenous people that were here before me.
🌿 I like candles and essential oil.
🌿 Herbs make me feel cozy.
🌿 I know rituals rework the subconscious mind.
If that makes me a witch, so be it!
Witches in fiction make me feel:
💃🏼 empowered as a woman,
💃🏼 sensual and in my body, +
💃🏼 at awe at the possibilities of what we can create.
If I have a religion it is the act of creation or creativity itself.
Over the past 10+ years since I decided to create my own business,
I’ve pressed publish on my writing, over and over.
I’ve led public presentations.
I’m all over the internet!
🦋 And it used to be hard, but I did it.
Even when I used to sell tarot readings, chakra healings, past life clearings–witchy stuff.
Now I’m focused on helping people write.
But whatever I sell, I still have to market! 💃🏼
🦋 Occasionally, I still get afraid to share things.
But what I’ve learned in 10 years of marketing is:
I am safe even when I am visible.
And I learned to embrace marketing. It doesn’t freak me out as much (most of the time) and I enjoy it.
My favorite way to market?
💜 Writing emails!
In fact, many of these blogposts are based on emails I send out to my list.
I love writing by email!
Yes, me, the girl who 10 years ago was afraid to email her newsletter!
I love it now and I want to share the love with you.
If you want to write emails to your fans and potential clients,

And I added some 🌿 herbal witchy vibes 🌿 to the design!
