Hey, hello my friends! Happy Sunday. To all the new people, a special welcome: I’m Catherine Greer, author of books, mum of a shih tzu puppy and two young adult sons, Canadian living in Sydney, full time copywriter in the corporate world…and lover of baking!

Every Sunday I get up super early (before my family) and sit in my favourite chair with my favourite pink coffee mug and write to you guys.

I love this!

I love it so much!

I’m good at being reliable, and I love this newsletter where I get to send out a positive message to so many women around the world. I imagine all of you pausing at some time during your weekend, knowing that you’re going to get a little hit of good news or encouragement when you hear from me.

For the new people, here’s an example. I heard a phrase this week that was so helpful. When we need to ask someone for help, either in work or in our personal lives, an interesting, easy way to do it is this:

What’s the chance that you could…walk the dog? Throw on a load of laundry? Make dinner tonight? Read my report before tomorrow? Such a beautiful way to ask! These are the little things I learn that I love to share with you every week. 🩷

But here’s the thing. Now I need YOUR help…because I’m struggling with social media. Let me tell you why. I have a new book coming out in March 2025. Look! The pages have now been typeset and I am SO EXCITED.

Gulp! I’ve been asked to “build my social media following.” You guys…I’m an ordinary person and I don’t know how interesting my life is!

I want to share what’s valuable for other women. And I don’t want to jump up and down and pretend that I’m a big deal.

So here’s my ask:

1. If you have ANY tips for me (some of you are amazing at social media), please let me know.

2. What’s the chance that you could…follow me on Instagram? 😉 Thank you!

3. Either now or if you have a favourite Sunday message, could you please share / forward this newsletter to a friend or sister who might like it?

Thank you so much for your advice!

I appreciate you helping me…and I am so glad we’re here, in this life together, figuring out how to enjoy it despite the ups and downs.

Love Catherine
