Yeah, I really am having fun with Substack! And I love creating quick visuals in Canva too. I think I am addicted to the combo of the two, with repurposing and expressing my ideas in so many ways.
Plus, I'm experimenting with voiceovers and slowly podcasts (loving my new mic). I'm interested in good metrics for podcasts for the near future. So the question you raised about good metrics is valid.
Chat seems to start growing slowly also. Just wow, so much creative energy around here. I like it because I am not bombarding my subs with emails through chat, but I can structure it by threads.
I hope you are feeling a lot better today and healing.
Re Chat: I wouldn't make it for paid subs! I would open it for everyone to connect. Why? This way, you can attract new subs and build relationships with other moms, for instance.
A Note idea, share: "New writers, I'm a mom of three. By day: NYU journalism student dissecting how media shapes modern parenthood. By night: Snack-fetcher, Lego architect, and writer obsessed with turning everyday chaos into life lessons." and ask new writers with kids to share their Substack newsletters! Connect with other moms and dads this way!
You're having FUN! That's the best.

I posted the note with some tweaks. I hope it picks up.
The chat is for all subscribers at the moment. I guess when I have more than 20 paid, let's say, it would make sense to start a recurring paid thread.
That's such a good idea! Thanks!
Yeah, the almost 1000 subs on my name are across 3 pubs, it's a bit misleading. My newsletter From My Kitchen Table has 160ish subs at the moment.
