I'm struggling.
I'm frustrated by my inability to get the groove flowing with the site, newsletter, and podcast.
I'm frustrated about the work I lost and my financial state, despite knowing a lot of this came by trying to be 'neurotypical' when my brain is wired much differently, and I burned myself out.
I'm frustrated that I often feel so alone and unable to make connections.
I'm frustrated over how desperate I feel in my current need for money.
A miracle.
I also know living on a miracle is a fool's plan.
As I feel hopeless, I remember miracles have happened in the past few years.
1. My Spreaker offer to join their Prime network was out of the blue because someone on the team liked our podcast.
2. In the past few months, many readers and listeners whom I have never met or talked to have donated money to help me out.
3. Received job offers due to the popularity of my site rather than pitching.
4. Was offered a paid acting gig without applying or even thinking that was an option.
5. Received pledges for my Substack even though I haven't promoted a paid tier yet.
6. A PR agent reached out with an offer to review screeners and conduct an interview without any pushing for such a thing.
Miracle happens. Every single day. It is our job to be grateful for them. and be willing to accept them. See them as that chance to launch off them and create something even better. And then pass on that same kindness when we have the chance.
