Your book will answer questions

Reading time: 0.59 232 words Hey Reader, “Everyone kept asking the same questions!” I was talking to my client about how her “open house” for her membership was going, and she said it was going great but that everyone kept asking her the same questions. And it was making her laugh because the book she is currently writing with me is going to answer allll those questions — so it was a real nudge to get it finished and published. Since then she’s made a ton of progress, and brought on some new members, and is remembering how cool it is to have a book on the go. Anyway, just wanted to share another little bonus of having a book. When you find yourself answering the same questions over and over again, it’s a good sign that you could write about it and publish it somewhere for people to keep and refer to. Somewhere tangible, that won’t get lost among PDF relics on your hard-drive, or screenshotted never to be looked at again, or lost in an ocean of 4,684 open tabs. On a shelf, nearby. Or perhaps even on someone’s desk, filled with post-its and dog-eared corners and scribbled notes in the margins. How cool could that be? If you’ve got an idea for a book, and you want to explore it, I have three 90-minute slots in February to get you started. Reply if you’d like more info. TTFN, Vicky 🫡 p.s.

After a very laid back December, I was all set to head into 2026 at maximum chill, but apparently Past Me didn’t get the memo because I spent the final two weeks of January back and forth to London twice and speaking at an event in Bristol, all of which was amazing and fun but hoooooooooooo-boy was I blaggered. Then my good friend Yinka sent her Mighty Movers email (exclusive to those of...

This is not rhetorical — I actually need to know, because getting it wrong has painful consequences. In conversation, we’re supposed to ask questions. We’re supposed to be interested in other people. I know this because I’ve been told many, many times over the years. And honestly, this isn’t a hardship for me because other people are endlessly fascinating to me. I’d like to...

Just who does she think she is?” But who else are we mean to be full of, my friend? The latest opinions fed to us by the techbro propaganda machine? The perfect tradwife the algorithm wants us to be? No thank you. We can get new boots that fit us perfectly because of course we’ve outgrown the old ones. And as for who we think we are, well, that’s a work in progress. We’re...
