Edition #149 July 21st, 2026 Guess whaaaaat Reader?? Dead Reckoning is live 😏 I'm BEYOOOONNND excited, but I gotta be real with ya: This is only the FIRST iteration. I plan to add more to the sales page once I get my brand photos (πŸ‘€πŸ‘€) back from my photog I'm planning on renaming the offers. I didn't think I needed to originally, but they're a bit more different than I realized. The local businesses subpage isn't ready yet 🫣 Nor is the streamlined Dubsado workflow 🫣 LOOOOOKKK, I ran into some...

Hey, hi, hello! If you haven't read this week's Email Paradise (EP), you miiiiight be a lil out of the loop (go read it!!!!) but this is the fourth (!!!) edition of a bonus add-on where I share the psych behind the creative writing prompt shared earlier in the week. Reminder of this week's prompt in case you haven't done it yet: Pull up a page on your website or a recent social media post and see where you can add more visual and descriptive language into it. Don't overthink it! This is for...

Edition #148 July 14th, 2026 Womp, womp, womp. 90% of the 4-part sales page for Dead Reckoning has been finished, but unfortunately, I underestimated how much time it was gonna take me to finish πŸ˜† But I am suuuuuper proud of how it's all coming together so far!! So here's a couple of my favorite lines: For e-comm founders: "The most successful e-commerce founders are often trapped in operational tasks and simply don’t have the time to build the personal brand authority they know they need to...

Hey, hi, hello! If you haven't read this week's Email Paradise (EP), you miiiiight be a lil out of the loop (go read it!!!!) but this is the third (!!!) edition of a bonus add-on where I share the psych behind the creative writing prompt shared earlier in the week. Reminder of this week's prompt in case you haven't done it yet: Grab a magazine. If you don't have one hanging around, grab a book instead (fantasy or fiction works best). Read through and cut out words that make you pause. Or hold...

Edition #147 July 7th, 2026 I've been yap-yap-yapping about Dead Reckoning the last two weeks and while I kinda, sorta wanna keep up the trend (bc the sales page is coming along so CUUUTE), I shall spare you 🫑 But only cuz next week the sales page will be officially live so I'll have a lot more to share with you then 😈 Instead, I wanna talk about something biz-adjacent. I've been dealing with a rather pressing health issue for the last 2 months. And it's been beyond draining getting tossed...

Hey, hi, hello! If you haven't read this week's Email Paradise (EP), you miiiiight be a lil out of the loop (go read it!!!!) but I'm starting something new where I share a creative writing prompt once a week and then share the psychology behind it! It'll be 2 separate sends because 1) I want you to DO the prompt first!! but also 2) EP is already pretty long, so I didn't want to overload you with too much info in one day. Reminder of this week's prompt in case you haven't done it yet: Set a...

Edition #146 June 30th, 2026 SOOOOOO The Newsletter Offer has a name & I'm super excited to share it with you!!! Promise not to steal it, right? πŸ˜‰ DEAD RECKONING In the 1600s, navigators aboard ships came up with the term β€œdead-reckoning” to describe the technique of estimating course and distance in situations where there were no visible landmarks or stars available for guidance. BUT IN THIS CASE, the definition is: the art of knowing where you're going before you can see it. it's calculated...

Edition #145 June 23rd, 2026 What's this?! A formal edition of Email Paradise?! Landing in your inbox?? At the end of June?? Teehee. Okay, it's really not funny, but there's absolutely a lesson in all of this, so buckle up, buttercup. I spent MONTHS in a creative block. The last *official* edition of Email Paradise was sent on November 11th, 2025. And yiiiikes that hurts to admit in writing. But life was life-ing pretty hard, and ya know what? I refuse to beat myself up over it (because I...

Laptop on a bed

personal brands are all the rage oh heeeyy Reader! what are your thoughts on people using your name in newsletters like this one? I mainly ask because I'm torn. on the one hand, I think it's an easy way to add a splash of personalization into an email and psychology shows that seeing our own names helps us to pay more attention (it's called the Cocktail Party Effect*) on the other hand, I sign up for a LOT of newsletters with my nickname "air". always lowercased. so when it's slapped in the...
