Opening the door to inspired ideas
Plus an important announcement for free and paid subscribers!
You’ll find the sensational
and her fabulous substack here: .This is Rebecca’s photo:
I was moved by the image and decided to cartoonify it.
I sent the drawing to Rebecca, who was super gracious, telling me she loved it and had added it to her Substack post!
I also drew something else recently, for one of my fabulous 1:1 clients. This is her adorable rescue dog Charley
And this is what I was inspired to draw:
When I first started playing with drawing, I realised that vision boards make me feel ‘meh’. But cartoon vision boards? They make my heart happy and ignite both my imagination and my spirit. This is my current board:
One last aside, (which you’ll soon realise is not an ‘aside’ at all, mwua-ha-ha… [I definitely just googled ‘how do you spell an evil laugh’])
I’m an energy worker (I used to say energy ‘healer’, but that’s complicated) and a voice channel. I used to consider that work separate to what I’m sharing here on Substack. But that never sat well, because I don’t want to live a divided life.
[Get ready for us to tie it all back in together…]
The truckload of ideas that landed in my head during that dog walk helped me to see how I could bring together all the things that light me up within Great Things so that I can share them with you in a simple and harmonious way.
And so, beginning in April, free subscribers will still be able to see and comment on the weekly post. You’ll also get access to a new thing I’m gonna play with: audio versions of some of the written posts (where I plan on ad-libbing a bunch of extra stuff on top of what is printed in the written/drawn post)!
I’ll also be adding a bunch of extra support for people who wanna go a little deeper on this journey of fun and effective personal growth and spirituality with me.
Paid subscribers will now get additional fun that includes (but is not limited to):
regular (probably monthly) energy healings/activations (if you’ve never had an energy healing, think of them as guided meditations with energetic support infused into them)
the ability to start group chats (so we can build our supportive community!!)
Occasional audio posts that include me sharing my audio diaries, or my process or what I’m exploring in my own inner work, or maybe even some interviews? Whatever I’m inspired to share in the intimacy of our private audio space.
A personalised cartoon image!!!!!!!! This can be the recreation of one of our previously published cartoons (I can delete me and add you), or the cartoonification of one of your own photos! [From April, monthly subs will become eligible for the personalised image after 6 months of consecutive subscription. But between now and the start of April, anyone who signs up for a monthly subscription qualifies for a personalised image immediately!! 🤯]
a monthly draw to win a private 1:1 session with me (valued at approx $170USD)!!!
Anyone who upgrades to the Stellar Human plan gets all of this PLUS….
a personalised Cartoon Vision Board infused with energy healing! (This will usually entail a 1:1 meeting on zoom where we can get clear on what magical things you want included in your energy infused vision board!).
Phew! Thank the heavens I left my phone at home, hey? That all landed in my head as a fully formed, fabulous-feeling idea. And I say yay for that!1
If you’re a ‘yes please’ to any of the above, you can upgrade your subscription here:
If you’d prefer to stay on the free plan, then no problem and thank you for being here! You contribute your attention and energy to this space. Your interest in what I do here already makes my heart supper happy.
If you’re already a paid subscriber, hit reply to this email and tell me what you want your personalised image to be so I can get started!
Thank you again for bring here. If you have anything to say about any of this, hit the comment button and let’s chat!
If you prefer to respond to questions, then here are some:
What was your favourite drawing this week?
What’s your relationship with silence vs consumption of audio content (including music)?
Do you have any previous experience with channeling or energy healing/work?
I’m still looking for healthy and delicious breakfast alternatives. Got any suggestions for me?
I try to live my life and run my business in line with what I’m intuitively guided towards, and that can change over time. I want to balance flexibility with managing expectations so that people who decide to upgrade know what they will be receiving. I intend to offer these benefits for at least the next 12 months, and I will aim to keep you updated of any changes with enough notice for you to make informed choices. Transparency and consent are part of my values and I want to live by them.
Lovely post, Medha - and I'm not only saying that because you so very kindly linked to me! Your fabulous cartoon of my squirrel safari makes me grin every time I look at it - again, thank you sooo much!
How lovely that you rediscovered something when you switched off the exogenous sound on your walks! I'm not doing nearly enough walking at the moment (thanks to the weather, which is currently persistently and unreasonably British!), but it's the act of doing the walking, moving my body, breathing the air and drinking in everything around me that gets the conveyor belts in my brain's ideas factory turning. I flipping love it! It's amazing how something like that can awaken creativity.
Now if only spring would just arrive, I'll get back out there for more than ten minutes (in the rain) at a time....! 🤣
Beautiful! LOVE the cartoonifications, wow!! Immensely enjoyable, your cartoons and your stories. Yay You! Well I feel lucky because I already am a paid subscriber, Yay Me! I was wondering how the very first panel (with you feeling a void in the pit of your stomach) ties into the rest of the essay? I understood the clarification between stress learning vs curiosity. But then we pivoted with you, and went on your phone-free walk and new ideas for your subscriber options... and I wasn't sure whether you wrapped up the earlier panels? Maybe I missed something. Hmmmm - inquiring minds would like a Part II please! :)
