There is no perfect publishing schedule or quality of original content you can create. Some will love it; some will hate it (and share how they feel). So you just have to keep showing up for the ones that are learning and resonating with you. Thank you for being here. 🙏
We hope you enjoyed this week's Wavve Audio Insider. I love hearing from you about what you are up to. Hit reply and let me know. I read all emails.
