You say goodbye…we say hello!
If fall’s around the corner, that means summer is on its way out, and September this year means picking up where we left off at ALSSI.
New Season, same Us! 🥳

Season 12 is less than 2 weeks away, and we’re going to be taking on more Big Ideas. We have exciting guests lined up, and we’ll all be hearing from plenty of listeners, too. We’re happy to be back at our mics and thinking thinky thoughts! We didn’t know what to expect when we started the pod, but we didn’t expect 12 seasons.
Thank you for the support that continues to allow us to share these conversations.

Have more to say?
We’d love to hear about it in an upcoming issue of Say More: At Last She Writes It. For many women, these newsletters have become another lifeline. Blakelee does an amazing job of curating our content, but Say More can’t happen without your help! We hope you’ll consider sharing an essay, poem, story, anecdote, episode response, artwork—anything! You can find submission guidelines/instructions here, or by clicking submissions on our website menu.
September means it’s our anniversary!
Our Substack anniversary is here again, and to celebrate we are offering a special rate—between now and October 1, you can snag a paid subscription for $60/yr. You’ll get all 4 of our Thursday newsletters, 2 Friday Live Chats/mo. (if you can’t attend live, listen to the recorded session at your convenience), and access to our ongoing community chat on Substack. It’s the best discussion on the internet! Come join this group of amazing ALSSIers and talk about … all of it.
You’ll also get our undying gratitude. ❤️
Hope to see you everywhere!
