Welcome to System-ish

Systems that support your actual life. Stories that don’t sugarcoat. Strategies that feel like you.

You’ll get 1-2 emails per week, usually on Wednesdays, filled with transparency, practical goodness, and probably some smutty romantasy recommendations.

“I get newsletters ALL the time and yours are one of the few I really enjoy receiving.”
— Rachel Lee

Here's what you get:

✅ Systems That Actually Work for You
Quick wins for your client onboarding process, offboarding clients, and managing your entire client journey with more ease. Think: ops and experience tips you can implement in under an hour.

✅ Behind-the-Scenes Business Real Talk
Expect deep-ish reflections, real revenue numbers, shifts I’m making (and why), tools that save my brain, and occasional rants about hustle culture.

✅ Honest Dispatches from a Solo Creative
The updates, experiments, client workflows, and personal insights from someone who builds systems for a living—but doesn’t believe in automation over intuition.

“Your newsletter is really fcking awesome... You show the whole part of running a business.”*
— Amanda Gold

What makes it different?

No urgency. No shame. No “shoulds.”
Just practical, values-first ideas built around how your creative brain actually works.

You’ll always get:
✓ Transparency (real numbers, real feelings)
✓ Flexible delivery (Because sometimes life is a lot—you can pause emails for 30 days anytime.)
✓ Curiosity, resourcefulness, and simplicity in every line
