Loved this! And that you found me. I too am only one year in and chose to call mine “occasional” because of my fear of commitment. I hit 32 or 33 in a year, so I’m hoping I’m also in the top 12%. Keep ‘em coming Marika!! You inspire me.

Wow, thank you so much! Taking wins when I can is the secret sauce of life, right?! Yes, I'm pretty sure that 32ish in a year is in the top 12% of folks who start a Substack. I'm in awe of folks who keep showing up year over year, so that's my next journey of discovery! Onward!
