WHO IT’S FOR
You’re in the right place if you have a rich inner world but tend to be guarded and hesitant around others. If being with groups or new people can feel crunchy and anxious, even when you’re just trying to be yourself. If you’ve ever hovered at the edge of something you’d have loved to be part of, quietly thinking I’m not sure I belong here.
What to expect from Get Gutsy
Roundup
Updates on a practice in being together better – and the tools that help me make gutsy moves. Links and resources to help you connect to yourself and others. Plus invitations to upcoming courses, circles and gatherings.
Props
Personal essays that each begin with a single object and follow where it leads: into memory, creativity, identity, and the complicated business of expressing yourself.
Pocket Improv
Yours when you sign up: a welcome guide to 10 tiny moves for awkward moments.
Get Gutsy is hosted on Substack, so you can browse the archive, comment, and read in the app. New posts still land in your inbox like a regular mailing list.
Pocket Improv
10 tiny moves for awkward moments
Improv is full of small, playful ways to get unstuck. Pocket Improv borrows ten of them for the moments your head starts offering opinions you didn’t ask for, like: “Maybe I’ll just say I’m sick.” “I’m not cut out for this.” “I don’t know what to say.”
Each move takes just a few seconds. Try one before you walk in, in the middle of a conversation, or when the replay starts spiralling afterwards.
A WELCOME GIFT
What you’ll get
Ten tiny moves, each with a small version and a slightly bigger one
Moves you can do sitting down, in your head, or safely locked in the loo
No need to have ever done improv, be good at it, or even like it
Free with your subscription. The link arrives in your welcome email.

I’m Susannah Worth. I created Gutsy, a practice in being together better: resources, courses, circles and – a work in progress – ways of showing up for the common good.
Get Gutsy is where I think out loud about all of it, wobbles included. It’s where I share my own gutsy moves and the tools that help me and might help you too.
