Hey y’all!
Happy Sunday — hope you had an amazing week. 🌞
Whew. I finally finished moving out of my apartment today and just got back up to NorCal a few hours ago. Moving always takes longer than expected 💀 but wow, it feels like that weight has officially been lifted off my shoulders. It’s also nice to be back — excited to see two of my besties in SF this weekend — exactly what my soul needed!
It’s been a real mix of emotions, but now I’m ready to shift gears — to take this “up in the air” energy and ground it into something focused, with a clear plan. Unknowns always carry so much possibility, but they can also feel scary (our brains are wired that way to protect us). For me, the more I can anchor what’s next into a practical plan, the more at ease I’ll feel.
🌱 Fall Cohort
I’ve been getting requests about running another cohort this fall — and while I’m not 100% sure I’ll do it yet, I know this could be perfect for people who are ready to get the ball rolling. If it speaks to you, this is for those with a “no time to waste” mentality — the ones who want to dive in, take action, and make this season count.
💡 Bonus: Fall and the holiday season are historically gold for brand deals — I’ve personally gotten some of my best results this time of year. In the cohort, I’ll be sharing everything I’ve learned from 5 years of building and monetizing creative work — stuff I don’t usually put online — so you can get momentum rolling fast.
Spots may be limited, and I’ll only open the cohort if enough people are ready to roll, so if this resonates, don’t wait!
Interested? Just hit reply with “I’m in” or fill out this quick form: link — it only takes a minute! I’ll follow up once I see who’s ready and decide if the fall cohort will run.
Current Cohort Spotlight: India Witkin
India Witkin is on a mission to inspire others to embrace uncertainty with fearlessness and excitement—and she’s living proof it works. After an 8-month solo sabbatical across Asia—including yoga teacher training in France—she’s back in NYC with fresh energy, turning the messiness of uncertainty into her superpower. Her Substack, Searching for a Sign(al), dives into the scary-but-necessary stuff: quitting jobs that don’t fit, taking bold leaps abroad, and learning to trust her gut.
She’s now producing a podcast series for The Atlantic, working on a short film about South Asian family dynamics, and collaborating with incredible creators. Through her writing and videos, she connects with adults in their 20s and 30s who feel stuck—encouraging them to push out of their comfort zones and reconnect with their mind, body, and spirit. India’s whole vibe is about leaning into the unknown—and it’s perfectly in sync with this season of life. 💛
Check out her work! She’s also sharing more on her IG Reels — definitely give her a follow. Truly a badass, talented person to be around, and I highly recommend you get into her world.
PS: Want to work with a powerhouse creator? India’s open to collaborating on creative projects, content strategy, or marketing. She’s a New York-based multimedia storyteller who’s crafted work for Sony, TIME, Discovery, Audible, and Vice Media—and her specialty is food, lifestyle, and wellness content.
🏡 LA Creator House (Jan 2026?)
On a different note — I’m thinking about hosting a 1-month creator house in LA this coming January, right before a potential travel stint in Asia in February. I toured a spot yesterday with a friend, and… it has potential. 👀
There may be limited spots, and participation could be application-based, with some workshops, events, and curated experiences throughout the month. Just planting the seed now — if this resonates, you’ll want to be ready!
That’s all for now. Thank you for being here — it truly means so much to share this ride with you. 💛
