✌️ Q2 Biz Recap Time!

Join me as I convince myself it's ok to sunset my business 😬

✌️ Q2 Biz Recap Time!

This year I’m making big changes in my business…

So I brought back my quarterly recaps to share the highlights, challenges, and financial details of Softer Sounds & Off the Grid each season!

Tune in (or watch the video) as I walk through this cute Notion dashboard with all the details. 🤗

Here’s the TLDR if you just want to skim:


HIGHLIGHTS

Spring at Off the Grid was full of so many big things! The Astro Summit, a backyard concert with Sadie Gustafson-Zook, our Interweb week of zines, the COME TO CLASS intensive, and I renovated my office! Lots to celebrate.

CHALLENGES

My beloved dog Zoe passed away in May and work had to grind to a halt during my busiest season. I was grateful to have the time to grieve, but rescheduling two weeks of meetings definitely left me overbooked and overwhelmed in June.

COMING UP

  • This month, the Clubhouse is leaving Substack and moving to Ghost! I’ll have more info to share mid-month when I start making the shift. For now, just know that it’s coming.
  • Doors to the Interweb will be opening at the end of August — just in time for you to join us for our Member Appreciation Month in September! Get on the waitlist if you want to be part of our community. 🫂
  • I’m taking a break from all calls and content in July! This will be my last episode (aside from Ghost transition stuff) until August.

And finally… Q2 FINANCES!

I did A LOT this spring, and you can see the fruits of that labor in Q2 revenue.

Below is the high-level look at my numbers by offering. You can watch the video for a full walkthrough of my P&L — and to hear me talk through how these numbers helped me feel ready to sunset Softer Sounds!

Because it’s all about the stories we tell with our numbers…
