Hi Chriselle! Rebranding is a big step but this feels really authentic and i love the aesthetics you've chosen, as well as your publication's name, Off The Grid (love the meaning!). I wish i had kept up my blog from waaaayy back too... you're so right, Substack really does have that vibe to it, which is very inspiring and "safe" feeling ✨

Hi love, thank you so much 🥹💛 That means a lot. Rebranding always feels a little scary, but “authentic + safe” is exactly what I’m trying to get back to, so I really appreciate you saying that.

And yes, Substack totally brings back that old-school blog feeling in the best way. Also, it’s never too late to start again… even if it’s just for you at first. ✨

So grateful you’re here 🫶🏼

Hi Chriselle! So happy to be here :) You inspired me to leave a voice note on the piece i published yesterday... feel like it was a bit of a ramble, but I'm not deleting it... I'll make the next one better! ✨🫶

Hi Chriselle, I am not a big fan of subscriptions I admit but I resonate with you in so many ways and couldn’t resist joining 🙈🤗 A Single Mom in L.A went through many of the same ups & downs and experiencing motherhood, career ambitions and being badass fashionista woman can all co-exist together! So, I am here to see more of your authentic stories and get inspired. So excited & thank you!

Omg this made me smile so big 🥹🤍 Thank you for trusting me (especially if subscriptions aren’t usually your thing) that means a lot.

And I love what you said: single mom life, motherhood, career ambition, and being a badass fashion girlie can absolutely co-exist. That’s exactly the kind of energy I want this space to hold, real stories, the ups & downs, and all the layers in between.

I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome, love 🫶🏼✨
