The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 33 Side note: I wrote 80% of this newsletter a few weeks ago. Then I set it aside because I wanted to write about something else… then Mr. Zuck-F*ck announced his newest enshittification of Instagram this past week, so what I wrote has become relevant again. And yes. There will be a bit more cursing than normal in this edition of The Real Deal Digest. If that makes you uncomfortable, you are always welcome to unsubscribe. 😉 Yesterday, with great hesitation, I...

The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 32 A bi-weekly(ish) newsletter that shares the business-y truths no one wants to talk about...but everyone is thinking. 😬 ⏲️ Read time: 4-5 min I’m gonna be so FR* with you today (as the Gen Zers say):Writing newsletters consistently can feel like a total b*tch. And lately? I’ve barely been able to keep my head above water due to a temporary full-time gig I said yes to… until June. JUNE. OMG, that feels so far away. 😩 But today, it’s 55 degrees, the sun is out,...

The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 31 A bi-weekly newsletter that shares the business-y truths no one wants to talk about but everyone is thinking. ⏲️ Read time: 5 min Until last week, I secretly thought I was better than everyone else who watches shows like The Bachelor or Love is Blind. That’s because (again, up until last week), I believed I was above all that nonsense. You know… an intellectual. A total snob, side-eyeing the viewers who “wasted” their time on such frivolous shows starring...

The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 29 January is a weird month, isn't it? It's technically just another month with 31 days (six other months manage just fine), but somehow January always feels like it lasts three years. The days are short but also feel long. If you're up north like I am, the cold and snow act like it will never leave. Actual footage of my backyard right now. 😭 And as February shows up and the "new year energy" reveals its true self, you find yourself in one of three camps: ⛺ Camp...

Did you know there are certain words copywriters avoid using because they're considered "friction words"? We don't talk about it much. Neither does ChatGPT. 👉 One of those words is "LEARN." Yup. LEARN. You ever tell anyone to go and "Learn More" as a call to action? If you have, it's okay — you didn't know! But "learn" is one of those words that makes our lizard brains subconsciously think, "Learn?? I don't want to learn right now. Yuck." So then your reader doesn't move forward. To go to...

The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 24 Spoiler alert: it did not end well. 😂 It was an honest, unintentional mistake, but... Yikes. More on that in a bit. 🫠 September's around the corner, which means it's reflection time! 🎶 REFLECTION TIIIIIIIME!! 🎶 See, September has always been my "real" New Year. Sure, my birthday happens at the beginning of the month (hello if you're a fellow Virgo! 👋), but the main reason I think this way is because I spent 15 years as a school teacher. My internal clock is...
