Astrid, we've just moved to substack last month and I have been looking for creators like you. I am a HUGE proponent of building your business to fit the life you want and have and not the other way around. This post is a great reminder that I'm not alone in this approach. Thank you for giving business owners permission to build in an unconventional way!
Hey Astrid - I just did your Substack course and it was so helpful! Thanks so much for such a great course. I have chronic illness too so need to do all my work from home now and it's a challenge financially. But it's also so nice to know that I can take days off whenever I need to, which takes the pressure off hugely. ❤️
Ooh I've loved reading your words Astrid and I'm so happy I now have a publication here and therefore I can follow you actively 😊.
I love that you remind people that success and needs are personal, that a slow business is indeed possible and that it needs to revolve around our needs, desires, etc. Not the other way around.
Oh and I've actually re-descovered my passion for jigsaw puzzles recently 😄. So nice to find out that you also like them ! The 3 you've mentioned look really beautiful! Do you frame some of them ?
Thank you for your kind words Martina, they're so lovely to read! I'm happy that my words are inspiring to you ✨
I don't frame the jigsaw puzzles, primarily because I try to encourage myself to do them again (although I do have 3 large boxes in the attic with puzzles, so not buying new ones is not going really well 😅) and sometimes like to lend them to others too. What kinds of jigsaw puzzles do you like to do?
Astrid, I keep meaning to thank you!! I found you through Pinterest a year ago, subscribed to your newsletter because of my growing dislike of social media, and then found Substack because of you!! And it’s been a game changer for me!! Thank you so much!! 😊
Aaaw, thank you so much Jenn for this, it put a big smile on my face! I am so happy to hear that my words and work has been inspiring to you. Have a lovely rest of your week ✨
"I do not have a ‘six-figure business’ or whatever the new sexy number is. But I do have a business that makes the money I need it to, and that to me is amazing—and hopefully encouraging to you."
EXACTLY this! Thank you so much for reminding me that I AM doing this right...for me!

I’m so pleased to hear that this resonated with you Bev! Have a lovely rest of your week.
Working my business around my life is so essential and I love how you consistently remind us that success is defined differently for each of us.
Thank you for your kind words Amy!
Thank you, Astrid for your consistent and encouraging news!🤗
Thank you Kathy, and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed this newsletter and my words ✨
