Oooh, yay!! This is so exciting, Sara! I've just started writing on Substack (about a month in!) and absolutely love it here already. It's got that lovely supportive vibe that we're all looking for, I think, like a big chat round the kitchen table with a pot of tea. Your offerings sound so brilliant and useful - they always are! Your Hashtag Authentic episode with Farrah Stor was so helpful for getting started on here, think I've listened to it three times. Haha!✨🫖✍️🌿
Ahh so happy to hear this! Farrah has been amazing at encouraging me to get things going on here, too - we're going to be arranging a live Q&A together for paid members here in the coming weeks! Can't wait to spend some more time with you and your words ❤️
Aaah fantastic! I'm reading back through Farrah's archive at the moment (good use of a sick day, I think!) and there's so much incredble content. Will look forward to that Q&A! SO excited to see what you make in this space! ❤️ x
Think you can get the podcast most places but there's a link on Sara's website with some info too. It's a great conversation! 😊❤️https://meandorla.co.uk/podcasts/111
Sounds absolutely beautiful, wonderfully helpful and I’m SO looking forward to it all! I’ve been waiting for this drop - you showed a piece of paper on Stories awhile back that said Substack Launch, hooray the day has arrived 😊 (promise I’m not stalking you 😂). Congratulations on the beginning of your next stage of growth! I’m happy to be here from the beginning! Now I’m off to subscribe! 👍🏽😁
Ahh Vanessa! This made me do a happy dance - I love your brilliant observation skills and this is the loveliest response I could have asked for. It's an absolute privilege to have you here ❤️
Gosh I’m behind the times! I’ve just caught up on your French house adventures. How wonderful! I live in the south of France with my family, we moved here 6 years ago. I love reading about other peoples adventures here. If you ever need any tips on integrating here I’ll be writing about it on my Substack. I’m putting it out there so I get on with it!!
Whereabouts in the South of France are you? I guess we're probably a few hours apart but if you ever want to catch up over wine/coffee/both, just shout! I'm on a mission to make some France-based friendships! And yes, PLEASE write all about it on your Substack. You're living such an amazing adventure. The whole world is dying to gobble it up from you!
I've taken the plunge and switched to writing in French to up my game. I'm using substack as a tool to get me to a professional standard of French by sharing my how I integrated, made friends and became fluent. How often do you come over, we must have that coffee/wine.
Congrats and welcome to this space which has the freedom and proximity which is now lost on Insta. I’m sure you’ll be very successful. I subscribed right away. I might be your first one? Best of luck
Proximity is such a good word for what I (like so many, I think) am craving. I'm SOsoso happy to have you here and so grateful for your support! It's making me teary!! 😭❤️
I'm so excited to be on this journey with you, Sara! Substack has become such a huge joy in my life and I'm happy you're experiencing it too!! Can't wait to see all that's coming for you!
This sounds like such an exciting move for you Sara. Substack is such a lovely, calm place to hang out (compared to most other social media apps out there right now) Excited to follow along on your journey.❤️
Well, that's a complete no-brainer. I'm keen to get my head around Substack and can't think of a better mentor and guide for the journey. Thank you for the introduction, Sara. Happy to be here. ❤️xx
Wonderful Sara! So excited to see where this journey takes you & thrilled to support your new adventure. x
PS Have packed snacks. And by “flask” do you mean gin or herbal tea?
HA! Deliberately ambiguous, let's say. But why not both?
Aw beautiful offerings Sara - I’m in!! 💜✨🪄👩🏽💻 and as a Substack geek I’m OVER the moon for you you’ll just adore it here. ✨
Yipeee! Thank you Claire! I'm SO ready for this adventure, and so glad to have such good company already here ❤️
I was just saying to my friend it’s like we’ve found a way to have creative colleagues online again. Yay us and yay Substack!

We are in 34 and I would love that, I'm happy to drive. Mille mercies for the encouragement. A bientôt!
