Did I tell you about that time I wanted to be a postcard influencer?

Me and babe number 1 in Nice, 2017

Hiya 🌊,

I am writing a mini-series to answer the enormous question of why I moved to France 🇫🇷.

In publicity terms, we would call this a real-life or human-interest topic.

Securing traditional press coverage of being featured in a newspaper or online when we share relatable life stories is easier than focusing purely on our businesses. Plus, you can usually secure a business mention.

I like to walk my talk, so I don’t just write or promote only business content.

Here are three real-life pieces I’ve written and been paid for in The Metro. (Note: the book plug is in my bio.)

Real-life and Opinion editor Jess Austin will join our Hype Yourself community live on Friday, May 24th, if you want to learn how to turn your stories into the same.

📰 How to land an opinion piece in a national newspaper 📣

Next week's article will focus on tips and advice ahead of the live with Jess to help spark any questions or give you a chance to practice a pitch before the session.

Keep on hyping.

Collecting postcards since Brad and Gwyneth were an item…

A few of my postcards from Hadrien this year

Listen, he won’t mind me telling you this.

(I read it out loud to him to check, and he laughed).

I tried to exit out the giftshop from my relationship with the cofounder of my children a few times before the children part happened.

He told me he knew I would return, which was why he was so blasé about it.

His nonchalance at me having doubts was very alluring.

You might wonder what my fear was about staying in this relationship.

The best reason, of course.
