Lindsay Hurty on musings by mika

[Lindsay Hurty]

🫶🏼 Hello all! I’m Lindsay from Connecticut in the US. I’m a caregiver to my three kids (aged 10, 12 & 13) while I run my online business, Everwell (a self-development platform and inspiration network).

✍️ BECOMING EVERWELL with Lindsay Hurty (https://lindsayhurty.substack.com). I write about parenthood, adulthood and becoming. Motherhood has been the great calling of my life, so I’m dedicated to planting lots of seeds today in an effort to tend to my Future Self, when motherhood is no longer at the forefront of my daily life. My hope is to inspire others to prioritize their midlife fulfillment too.

💡 my tip is connected to my weekly goal of publishing a Saturday morning essay on Substack: by bedtime Monday, I decide the week’s topic/story/insight—I spend the day quietly dancing with my inner creativity. Tuesday: I scaffold a rough draft. Wednesday: Complete the first draft. Thursday: Revise the draft to final draft. Friday: Close read, polish, schedule to publish Saturday morning. Saturday: relax. Sunday: Edit video of myself reading one of my Saturday essays (to be published on my YouTube channel: Becoming Everwell with Linds, for the upcoming week). Begin the weekly/daily routine again come Monday.

🌱The habit I’m working to establish is writing/offering a daily thank you note. Whether on a post-it note, a mailed letter on beautiful stationary or a voice memo to someone’s text thread, I’d like to connect every single day in an expression of gratitude. I go through phases, but I’m not yet consistent. #goals

✨Thanks, Mika, for creating this space. I’d love to find regular connections with fellow Substack writers, where we can mutually support each other with likes, subscribes, comments and simple inspiration as writers! Much respect! Xo
