GUYYYYS! I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been nearly a year and a half since I posted on THIS BLOG. A.k.a, formerly my only blog.\u00a0<\/em>A.k.a, the place where I\u2019ve built my own little hub and magical space on the internet where you all have supported me for the last 13 years and then some.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been here for all that time or a short time or anything in between\u2026 THANK YOU. You make TBB what it is. You make me what I am. I am the most grateful girl in the world and I GENUINELY feel like the luckiest human on earth.<\/p>\n Which is why it pains me to think, when new people visit my site, that perhaps they don\u2019t realize that I STILL BLOG EVERY DAY\u2026 I just do it on Substack<\/a>!!!!<\/p>\n & it\u2019s quickly become my most favorite space on the internet. Like beyond beyond beyond beyond and I need you to join me over there!<\/p>\n No seriously, I received an email from an old reader the other day saying, \u201cI\u2019m just so sad you haven\u2019t blogged since June, 2024, I miss knowing what\u2019s going on in your life,\u201d and I was like\u2026 WHAT????<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n But it also makes sense because if you\u2019re not on social media or on my Substack email list<\/a> which I like to call my VIP besties, then yes \u2013 how would you know I\u2019m now blogging over there?!<\/p>\n Which means you may also not know that since we last chatted on this blog, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER BABY! Meet Delilah Jane, Atticus Story\u2019s little sister. \ud83d\ude42 Her birth story<\/a> can be found here!!<\/p>\n So yes guys here is the vibe: I am still blogging, and I\u2019m actually blogging more than ever before. I am telling suchhhh fun deep dive stories over on my Substack!! I feel like it\u2019s igniting my inner child\u2019s soul again for the first time in so long and it\u2019s truly been life changing.<\/p>\n The truth is, blogs have been a \u2018dying breed\u2019 for the last 5-7 years. Which is really sad for those of us \u201cbloggers who blog\u201d and \u201cwriters who write\u201d because acclimating to the new social landscape of quickie TikTok dancing videos and the ever-changing algorithm has just been\u2026 not fun.<\/p>\n So Substack has made blogging cool again, OFFICIALLY, and it\u2019s been amazing.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u2026AND SO MUCH MORE!<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re still here for the blogging, the juice, the deep dives, the fun old school TBB content, the newer content I have for you guys about everything from healing chronic illness at the root (peptides!!), to mindset shifts and being able to scale my blog to become (almost, one day!) my full-time thing, the honest heart spills and the 12 things Tuesday\u2019s and allllll the things, head over to Substack!!<\/p>\n On Substack you\u2019ll find the options<\/a> to be a paid reader or a free reader, which of course is totally up to you. I post at least one free post a week, like I always used to do on this blog. And then for the deep dive content, the long form think pieces, the juicy and intimate content where we really *go there* (think of it like a speakeasy or a secret, VIP club) as well as the ability to join our subscriber group chat & beyond, that\u2019s for paid subscribers!<\/p>\n As always, I have epic tons of free content on my Instagram<\/a>, podcast<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, and then some, so I am always here to connect with even if you don\u2019t choose to join us on the paid Sub. But I have a feeling if you\u2019re here, on this old school blog, then the $9\/month (like a coffee!??) is worth it to you. And you\u2019ll also be supporting my lifelong dream, and giving me the ability to put my ALL and then some into the platform for you guys.<\/p>\n Ok! That\u2019s it for today!! What are your thoughts?! Tell me everything!! Have you been keeping up with the blog and pod and all the things, or is it time to get reacquainted? Any topic requests for me?! I LOVE YOU ALL. xx\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thebalancedblonde.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/innerchild.jpeg\")
