I highly Kirsten Powers' publication Changing the Channel. Not only is it superbly written, but it also leans into topics that are extremely timely concerning productivity culture. She's made the decision to move to Italy, so it will be interesting to see how this fundamental life change will show up in her writing.
Judy and I have known each other a couple of decades - but we've never met! She is a wonderful chef, warm human, full of real life stories about Tuscan food and culture. 🧡
I love Hannah's writing, and I adore her podcasts. All about creativity, business, and the things that make a multidiscipline life possible.
I love the energy, love and dynamic smarts Leyla puts into her Substack. It never ceases to inspire me, and to bring me a new kernel of something to think about and look at from different perspectives. Leyla is a gem!
Letizia Mattiaci is a gifted writer and recipe creator. Her kitchen is a place of love and amazing food from her Umbrian roots. She hosts cooking classes at her home in Rome.
You all need to follow Ruth Allen. This is because she is so many things, of science and nature and empathy and wonder. Her writing is heartwarming, heartbreaking and beautiful. She makes me think, and awakens deep feelings. A true gift.
Jeannine is one of the most talented and generous people in the Substack sphere. Finding her and her writing challenges has lit a fire in me that has not dimmed. I'm back to writing daily (after ten years of not writing anything for myself at all) and the quality of my writing is improving, thanks to the incredible love and dedication of this human. If you love to write, and need a structured support system to do so, Writing in the Dark is the resource to turn to.
There is nothing I do not love about Sarah Fay. Her intelligence, clarity, knowledge and passion about Substack are invaluable as individual assets. Put them together and she is dynamite.
Read and enjoy Mary Thomas Tacconi's personal memoir of coming to Italy for love.
Lindsay is a super creative - internationally known ceramic designer, fine artist and entrepreneur.
