June Behind the Scenes

What I talked about in therapy, life, family, and house updates, when Substack took a huge hit, and a revenue breakdown comparing my 2023 and 2024 revenue.

I started this one while getting a pedicure. I do that every 3-4 weeks and it’s one of my favorite ways to work. It’s time for my big BTS newsletter where I recap the last month and share some of the things I save for my paid subscribers.

This post is a long one so click through to Substack to read the whole thing, and I’d love it if you’d give it a heart. That helps people find me. 🩵

Before I get started, a few quick notes.

My July tech backgrounds are live before the 1st. That is unheard of for me.

If you use DANIELLEM you’ll get 10% off OSEA’s Body Hydration Heroes (already discounted) bundle. My typically dry skin has been so hydrated thanks to the body serum and it smells incredible. Like so good that even my husband commented on it.

In today’s newsletter, I’m going to talk a bit more about:
What I’m working on in therapy
Our garage renovation and the final updates we need to make
A big fundraising fail 😕
Life and family updates
Where I’m at with partnerships and how I’m netting out now that we’re officially halfway through the year.

I also always do a big giveaway for a paid subscriber and this month’s is a good one!

I have a pair of Bose noise cancelling ear buds (I have and LOVE them), some beauty products, and a few Baublebar pieces. This month’s package is going to Nia Washington! I just emailed you, Nia!

Before I dive in, here are this month’s top sellers.

This sweater tank is my best seller by far. I love Me + Em. It’s pricey but it’s so well made and the pieces are beautiful.
The dress I wore today
My strappy (flat!) sandals
My wide leg lounge pants
The sneakers I wore at Disneyland
This dress (I have it in navy)
So random, but the game we played on the plane. This is great for adults who don’t love playing games. It’s really fun!
My friend’s water table that I shared in stories. It has a built in car track!
