Time for a refresh

Help me choose a new name for my Substack newsletter, focused on travelling well, living intentionally, and shopping sustainably.

Hey everyone,

When I started blogging on Substack, I gave it the name of an interview series I had been writing on LinkedIn, thinking I might continue the You Said It interviews here. That’s not been the case. As my writing has evolved, so has the need for a title that better reflects my key themes of travelling well, consuming thoughtfully, and self-development at 60+ (i.e. doing whatever the heck I like and prioritizing adventure over retirement). Or living boldly.

I want a name that I can own, is specific to what I write about, but is also emotive or memorable. Sticky, as marketers say.

I have a designer lined up who is going to help me redesign and rebrand the Substack too. But she needs to start with the name.

Here is the shortlist to replace You Said It.

Please vote by commenting with your favorite - or another suggestion!

1. Finely Dunn (with thanks to

   Charlotte Otter
   , who came up with this one).

2. Seven Sisters (Already taken, need a twist to it, but fwiw I am actually one of 7 sisters).

3. The Red Boots Diary (because, image below)

4. Magpie’s Eye (I like the rhyme).

5. Scrapbook Studio (I like the vibe, but maybe too abstract).

Feel free to suggest your own ideas as well! I'll announce the results soon.

THANK YOU for your support.
