Orientation: Let's have a look around Substack

A screen share to show you around the place - welcome in. This is a gentle orientation to get your bearings.

What we’re doing here Orientation to the Substack platform. A screen share walking you through the basics of Substack before you start building. What everything is and where it lives.

✓ Already familiar with Substack? Choose your pathway.

✗ Never been inside Substack before? Watch this first. Welcome home.

Just landed here and ready to shape your Substack world? I built an entire second Substack from scratch, and documented the entire process just for you. START HERE. Subscribe and let’s do this together, step-by-step.

Before we dive into building, I want to show you something.

In this screen share, I’m taking you inside The Business of Becoming - my other Substack - so you can get a feel for the platform before we start building yours.

Nothing complicated. Just a gentle orientation so it all feels a little less unfamiliar.

Because I remember that feeling of opening Substack and not quite knowing where to look first. So consider this me holding your hand and walking you in through the front door.

This is the beginning of something genuinely good. I can feel it! See you inside.

Just Press Publish.

A little about me

Hi, I’m Lucy. I spent twenty years in corporate before walking away to build work that was actually mine. What I discovered on the other side — about energy, alignment, and what it means to express yourself honestly in business — is everything I teach from now.

I’m a brand, web and messaging designer working at the intersection of identity, brand energetics, and soulful expression - helping founders build a presence that feels as true on the outside as it does on the inside → Fresh Leaf Creative

Press Publish is the rolled-up-sleeves, hair-in-a-topknot version of its sister publication The Business of Becoming — where you’ll find musings on creative expression, anti-hustle marketing, building a sustainable brand ecosystem, and returning to your natural rhythms → The Business of Becoming

Need a little more support?

If you’d like some creative and energetic direction to help get your Substack world off the ground, I offer a Substack World Creative Direction Session for founders who want a designer’s eye on their identity decisions → Drop me a DM.
