Whenever I see someone doing / living / having something I want, I say *I love that for them*. Trust fund? Job at Chanel? A birkin in every color? I love that for them! I’ve found that when you say it enough, you start believing it! Oh, and not being on Instagram / TikTok probably helps 😅
Love this great. Agree with all the advice! I also have found that having friends outside of the influencer space has been so helpful 😆 everything is just so… public otherwise, and therefore easy to compare. Feel just more normal offline 👌🏻
loved this post. "rising tide lifts all ships" is my favorite motto being in the influencer space -- we gotta celebrate each others wins, help each other promote whatever big thing we're working on (you making the time to come to a lunch to celebrate my book!)... it all comes back around and makes it so much more fun and rewarding!
You articulate such TRUE THINGS. And you really live them. I saw you at “one” on a list of Substackers and felt myself cheering. It’s nice to see good people winning 😘
Wanted to follow up on my comment from last week - I started listening to Careless People on audiobook per your rec, and I literally cannot get enough! I totally agree with you that I am looking for every minute and excuse to listen - even making dinner when I was going to order takeout, so that's a win! The way you described it was perfect - reads like gossipy fiction, but it's true - at least it's her truth. It's SO GOOD and I'm so happy I'm only halfway through! Thank you!!!

That is fantastic advice! Thanks for sharing.
I have to agree with the sentiment of moving to Charleston “fully baked”, my younger self would have struggled here. Great article Grace
thank you! xx

omg yes. Or even just — keeping things off of the ‘gram. My favorite hangouts are the ones where no photos are taken.

YES! I am so happy that you are enjoying it as much as I did. I can’t believe it isn’t fiction.
IDK what color we call that dress in the top pic of this post but OMG it is perfect on you in the all the ways. STUNNING
thank you! Chartreuse. I did a whole post on it earlier this week. https://thestripe.com/chartreuse-favorites/
Such a great and encouraging reminder. Thank you for sharing!
you’re welcome! xx
Love this one, especially the part about redirecting jealousy. ❤️
Yeah this one honestly feels like a game changer.
yes!
That’s my favorite part too!
So true! I should compare myself more, but then I remember I'm tired and can barely do what I already do-lol!
It sounds like you are doing great to me <3
