Reader, I started rewatching SATC again last night for the 40th time maybe.

And I told myself okay I NEED to write about this today.

I have been a fan since I was 12 years old, probably should not have been watching it at that age but here we are. 😎

And I always loved the same thing about it.

Not the drama, not even the fashion, but the lifestyle. The feeling of sitting at a cafe or a comfy apartment, typing, and calling it work.

And somewhere in my early 30s I looked around and realized, wait...

I kind of built this. 🤔

Not the $700 Manhattan apartment or the Vogue column, but the same FEELING.

Rice fields outside the window instead of skyscrapers. Iced latte instead of a cosmopolitan.

Getting paid to write with zero reels in sight.

Part of my childhood dream came true and I built it with an email list and a blog.

So if that is not the most Carrie Bradshaw thing ever I do not know what is.

And the thing is, nobody told me this was even possible.

I spent three years before this posting b-rolls for gurus who promised it would work. Three years I will never get back. 😂

Writing did what reels never could.

And I wrote a whole blog post about how you can build your own Carrie Bradshaw era too.

​You can read all the good stuff here.​

Yeah, Carrie was fictional. But getting paid to write from anywhere in the world, that part is very real.

And this diary is proof of it. 🤍

Pst. Something I've been working on is almost ready and I'm going to spill the tea next week, but I will leave you with one word...

Unfiltered. 🔐

"I'm allowed to build a business that feels like my favorite lifestyle, not what everyone else is doing."
