New and improved site, and a new podcast!

I’ve been working hard at giving my astrology & holistic health business an overhaul this past month, and I’m ready to announce the launch of See By Starlight, Phase 2. It’s not perfect, and I’m not satisfied, but it’s better than it was, so we have to keep moving forward! Eventually there will be a Phase 3!

Most of the work was done while Mercury was retrograde, and there were many technical difficulties… starting with services that ended up not working out and having to switch to a different service… random glitches… and other such setbacks. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, amirite?

Here’s what I’ve been working on:

• Set up a membership service! I’m excited about this. Members can get all kinds of benefits, including extra blog posts, bonus podcast episodes, exclusive discounts on services, “ask me anything,” and more! Substack’s membership service is too limiting, so I’m no longer going to use theirs. (Also, they take 10% off the top!! The nerve! 😤 BMAC only takes 5%!)

• Started a podcast! Most of the podcast apps should have the first episode up by now, except Apple is being stupid and slow. But it’s there on Spotify, iHeart, PlayerFM, and most of the other pod servers! Just search for “See By Starlight” and subscribe for free! Apple will catch up eventually.

  • OK, but if you want to see the charts I analyze, instead of just listening to the audio, you’ll need to do that on the YouTube version of the podcast.

  • I need more subjects for the podcast shows! If you have a chart you’d like me to discuss on the podcast, enter the raffle here. You have a great chance of “winning,” since I’m just getting started and nobody has entered yet!

  • Personal note: this is terrifying, because I have a stutter. I write better than I speak. But I still want to do it, and I trust that everyone will forgive my vocal imperfections!

• Moved all my signup forms from Google Forms to a more professional service that can also handle payments. It’s called Jotform, and I really like it. It can integrate coupons, do conditional logic, and more. (If you need a forms service, let me know, and I’ll give you a referral code!)

• Tried to build a brand design strategy, but I only ended up several times in hopeless puddles of frustrated tears. Good branding will have to come later, when I have the resources to hire a professional… someone who does not have a terribly debilitated Venus, as I do! For now, things look better than they were, but my “look” is still fairly amateur. I understand that!

• Rewrote and redesigned the entire website. (It’s not awesome, but it’s OK. I’m terrible at visual design. See point above. Again, at least it’s better than before!)

• Recorded several promotional videos.

• Adjusted and tweaked all my services.

• Opened an Instagram account. (What the heck is this place?? Aghhhh!!)

• Finished (mostly) remodeling my walk-out basement room, where I plan to offer consultations for local clients who wish to meet in person. There are still some finishing touches to add, but at least the room is usable now! It was a creepy, musty, crowded, ugly basement room beforehand. Now it’s so comfy and charming! I love it!

Am I doing too much?

Am I trying to be an overacheiver?

Pssshhhhh. I’m a Capricorn... “Doing too much” is in my DNA.

Meanwhile, I’ve accepted the fact that I can’t support my family with this business immediately. Time takes time. I’ve made good progress, but I need to find a “normie” job again… before I die of anxiety, watching my bank account slowly drain without being refilled. I will be turning to that endeavor now. Ideally, I’d find a part-time job, that would allow me to spend about half my time doing my business, until I get more momentum.
