Get Gutsy
A free newsletter – for the ones who’ve always had plenty to say, but find it hard to say it.
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 like performing, even when you’re just trying to be yourself. If you’ve hovered at the edge of a group, or a project, you’d have loved to be part of, quietly thinking I’m not sure I belong here.
I’m Susannah. I created Gutsy, a practice in being together better: courses, circles and – a work in progress – ways of showing up for something bigger than yourself. Get Gutsy is where I think out loud about all of it, wobbles included. Practising in public is part of the point.
What to expect
Props. Personal essays that each begin with a single object – from my home, my bag, my past or my imagination – and follow where it leads: into memory, creativity, identity, the complicated business of expressing yourself. That’s why objects also sit at the heart of the circles I host: a single thing to hold, a doorway into whatever’s on your mind.
The Roundup. Regular updates on what’s out there and up and running, what’s still brewing and finding shape, and anything I’ve published that you might have missed. Quiet introspection alongside bold expression – Gutsy values both.
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.
