What the Fack is 'Living in Candour' About?
Hey there!
So, I pretty much rolled out two posts last week without any context what so ever. My apologies, I just wanted to whet your appetite for the type of content you can expect to receive in your inbox.
Living in Candour is a newsletter designed to foster authenticity through self-exploration, introspection, and development. I have a publication on Medium called Candour that examines various topics from the lens of unadulterated honesty.
This newsletter, however, will focus on the self, existence and living an authentic life whatever that might look like to you. I hope this will become an engaging and interactive experience for you and me.
The purpose of this newsletter is to help you on your journey of self-excavation towards self-mastery.
To be human is to be an unfinished work but the key to a fulfilling life is to do the work necessary to come into your true self.
Though, the work never ends it doesn’t have to be exhaustive. It can be a worthwhile experience of discovery and growth. I will be doing this with you.
I’m well aware of my imperfect humanness but doing the work is how I manage to not wallow in existential dread.
Scope and Frequency of Newsletters
Quality content will be sent out 3 times a week this is all FREE content. I will launch paid content in August so be sure to look out for subscription information when that comes about. Be sure to share these emails with whomever you think will benefit from them. Feedback is always welcomed.
Meditative Mondays
On this day the focus will be on a thought-provoking piece that sparks introspection with an including centering thought, mantra and journal prompt. Meditation tips will be included when they are applicable.
Meditation doesn’t always have to be structured with clearing the mind, sitting in a lotus position while focusing your breathing. While this is excellent for your well being and peace of mind, when I say meditative, I mean focused thinking on an idea, affirmation or mantra.
Why? Wednesdays
I love Philosophy as an academic discipline and as a tool for pondering the meaning of life, existence and the self. On Why? Wednesday we will examine some of the most profound philosophers of our time, ask questions and answer them together. This will be a day to engage by writing your thoughts if you feel compelled to in the comments. The key is to give you something to consider and think about that will help to lend to your awareness, knowledge and growth.
Freewheeling Fridays
As the name suggests it will be a carefree day. We will explore random ideas on life, love, relationships, sexuality, self and existence. I may drop a personal essay or share something personal with you that may or may not be relatable. Anything is possible.
Future Goals
After 100 free subscribers, I will produce 1 monthly podcast episode.
After 250 free subscribers, I will produce a FREE E-book on Self-Mastery.
After 50 Paid subscribers, I will produce an exclusive weekly podcast episode.
After 200 paid subscribers, I will produce a FREE sampler 7-Day Course.
After 500 paid subscribers, I will produce a bi-weekly podcast.
After 1,000 subscribers total, I will offer 7-day Life Coaching Boot-camp (I’m on my way to being a professional certified Life Coach).
Are you looking forward to the content I have planned? I am. Doing this work is beneficial to my own growth and allows me to be creative and express my viewpoints with an attentive audience. I hope to help you with your own growth or at least give you something to catapult you wherever you are on your personal journey.
Thank you for journeying with me thus far.
