Hello and Welcome to the Creative Playground, Reader!

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee, and let's see what becomes possible when we revisit, remix, and reimagine what's already right in front of us.

Because sometimes the next opportunity isn't something new. It's seeing what you already have differently.

Looking for a previous issue? They are all available to read on my website.

I’ve got a list.

Before you ask…

No, it’s not an email list.
​That would be a rather strange reveal to make… in an email. You’re already on that one. 😄

It’s not a to-do list either.
​Although that one is currently doing its best to become a small novella. 😅

And it is definitely not Finch’s list.
​If you suddenly heard ominous Machine noises in your head, congratulations. You got the Person of Interest reference. 👀

Nobody wants to be on Finch’s list.

Mine is the opposite.

It’s my People of Interest list.

The name is a deliberate nod.
But unlike Finch’s, this is a list you might actually want to be on. 😄

Not people I want to pitch.

Not people I think I’m supposed to network with.

Not people I’ve placed on some mysterious VIP waiting list, behind a velvet rope with a bouncer checking names very seriously. 😂

Just people whose work makes me pause.

People I’m curious about.

People I’d genuinely be delighted to know better.

The kind of people I want to root for, pay attention to, and perhaps send a thoughtful note to because something caught my attention.

And honestly?

Being on someone’s list like that?
​I’d want to know what caught their attention.

Not because it comes with a secret badge, unlimited snacks, or access to an exclusive lounge.

But because somebody saw what you were doing and thought:
​There’s something here I don’t want to lose track of.

That is the kind of list I’m building.

Over the next few months, I’m working my way through it one real person at a time. No elaborate networking machine. No awkward “just checking in” messages copied and pasted into the wild.

Just genuine interest, a little courage, and seeing where a conversation might go.

Who knows?

Maybe one day you’ll get a note from me that feels a little more personal than usual.

Now you’ll know why. 👀

See you again in the Playground next week! ​Stéphanie

P.S. If you are on my list, I promise you will not receive a cryptic phone call from a public payphone. 😂

NOTE: I'm moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot "bad experiences" regarding my site, your members' area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

Disclosure: From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!

Thank you so much for your support of Stephie The Happy Mom!
