Why I’m Obsessed with Substack (And You Might Be Too)

Here's the scoop...

Mar 31, 2025

Let’s talk about simplicity.
If you're like me—a visionary with a mission, a message, and a desire to share it widely—you’ve probably felt overwhelmed by the mountain of tools everyone says you need to run your business.

📧 An autoresponder for emails.
💰 A funnel builder for offers.
📝 A blog to share content.
🌐 A website for credibility.
🎙 A podcast platform.
📺 A video hosting site.
📣 Social media to promote it all.
💸 And some kind of monetization system to tie it together.

It’s a lot. It’s expensive. It’s complicated.
And if you’re a spiritual entrepreneur, chances are you don’t want to spend your days duct-taping together 12 different apps—you want to serve, share, and make a difference (without burning out).

That’s where Substack comes in.

🌀 Substack Replaces All That—With Soul

I used to think I needed a tech stack the size of Mount Everest just to show up online. Now? I’ve consolidated nearly everything into one clean, powerful platform.

Here’s what Substack replaces:

✅ Autoresponder: You can send newsletters and automated welcome emails right from your Substack.
✅ Funnel builder: Use paid posts, lead magnets, and subscriber-only content to guide your audience naturally.
✅ Monetization platform: You choose what’s free, what’s paid, and what feels aligned. No confusing carts or upsells.
✅ Blog: Write what’s on your heart and hit “publish.” Done. - and it gets sent out automatically to your list if you so choose.
✅ Website: Substack is your website—it houses your content, your about page, and your offers. You can use the Substack url or brand your own domain.

✅ Social media network: With Notes (Substack’s version of posts), you can engage, grow, and connect without the algorithm games.

🌟 Here’s the Real Magic

Substack is free until you start earning paid subscribers.
And when you do? They take a small percentage (10%)—a fraction of what you’d spend on 6+ other tools, most of which charge even when you're not making money.

But more than the money, it’s the freedom for me.
It’s the simplicity. The ease. The energy alignment of not having to fight your tech to share your truth.
