The Hype - June edition 📣
My free monthly newsletter of self-promotion tips and creative inspiration.
Hiya 🌊! I’m Lucy from Hype Yourself. The Hype - is my monthly free round-up born in 2019. I chat about self-promotion and creative living. If you are new to this page, pop your email below to ensure you receive my posts.
Hiya 🌊,
If you are new to these lands, I moved to rural France two years ago, had my third and final baby last May, and Hallelujah, for the first time since she was born, I’ve had two full days of childcare a week in June.
The self-employed maternity leave ‘out of office’ is still on because I’ve got the big French summer holiday coming up. Honestly, I think we do need a name for that period when they are still babies, don’t sleep and you still have one foot in changing nappies, sleep depravity and one foot under the desk.
In other showing a bit of ankle news, I’ve got my A2 DELF French exam next week. Advanced beginner, here I come. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
The other beauty of having a pinch of extra time is I collaborated with a few Hype Yourself members this month to share even more of my expertise. Head to parish news for some good reads!
Keep on hyping
Lucy
