Your platform. Your people. Your rules. You were made to create. Not to perform.

Done performing for platforms that don't perform for you?

Rediscover the joy of content creation in this interactive, full-day virtual experience with Heather Adams. Walk away with your start up plan, growth strategies, and (for Bundle Buyers only) a done-for-you-site build.

We're going to help you launch a platform that will grow with you—in just one day!

Hours of content creation that lives and dies by an algorithm you can't control—and resets every single week.

What if you never had to chase an algorithm again?

You show up, you post, you engage—and still, the algorithm decides whether anyone actually sees it. Your reach fluctuates. Your content disappears in 24 hours. Somewhere along the way, creating started to feel less like a calling and more like a performance.

You're not burned out because you're doing it wrong. You're burned out because you're playing a game that was never designed for you to win.


You don't have a content problem. You have a platform problem.

A following you've built but don't own. If the platform changes tomorrow, you have to start over.

The mental load of performing on demand, chasing trends, and measuring your worth in likes—it's exhausting.

Substack is an owned media platform—built for writers, creators, and experts who are ready to build something that lasts.

No algorithm standing between you and your audience. No vanishing reach. No performing for an app that keeps changing the rules.

Your subscribers are yours. Your content is yours. Your growth is yours.

meet substack

A platform that actually works for you.

Whether you launch with a free list and grow into paid subscriptions, use it to drive traffic to your offers, or build a community around your expertise—Substack is a revenue platform, not just a publishing tool.


monetization is already built in!

And the best part?

Substack is a gamechanger.

Free or paid tiers, community access, driving traffic directly to your offers.

monetize from day one

Long-form content that deepens relationships, builds authority, and actually gets read.

publish with purpose

Your subscriber list belongs to you—not the platform. Build it once, keep it forever.

own your audience

*reserve your spot now

When Heather decided to launch her Substack, she didn't have a secret advantage. She had a clear message, a content plan, and a strategy built on two decades of brand-building expertise.

In her first week, The Red Lip Life hit #12 in the Business category on Substack—not because of luck, but because of a framework she'll walk you through in this workshop.

She's not teaching you what worked for someone else. She's teaching you what worked for her, what’s working for our clients at Choice, and what will work for you.


This workshop isn't theory. It's the exact strategy Heather used to launch her own substack and what we use behind the scenes with our clients at Choice… step-by-step.


now she's sharing the strategy with you.

Heather launched The Red Lip Life—and hit #12 in all of Business on Substack in her first week without a large account.


This workshop walks you through Heather's exact strategy. Now it's yours.

You bring your expertise. We bring the strategy, structure, and a team. You leave with a launch plan—and the confidence to use it.

For bundle buyers, get a done-for-you Substack built by the Choice team after the workshop. Ready to publish.

Your community.

Your launch roadmap.

Clarity on whether to launch free, paid, or both and a strategy for how to grow either way. No wrong answer. Just the right one for you.

The themes and topics that will anchor your Substack mapped to your expertise, your audience, and what you already have to say.


A name that resonates, clear value proposition, and the words that tell your ideal reader exactly why they need to be on your list.

Everything you need to launch in just one day.

No more staring at a blank screen wondering where to start. Every session moves you forward. You'll leave this workshop with real, finished work. Here's what you'll walk away with:

Your built Substack site

A room full of women building with live Q&A, breakout sessions, and direct access to Heather and the Choice team.

A step-by-step plan for launching your Substack, including content cadence, list migration, and how to leverage existing channels on day one.

Your brand messaging.

Your content pillars.

Your monetization decision.

*don't miss this event

This workshop is beginner-friendly by design. You don't need a Substack account, a built-out newsletter, or a clear niche yet. You just need a story to tell and the desire to tell it somewhere that actually works.


You’ve started a Substack account but don’t have a content strategy, consistency, a growth strategy, or a nicely branded site that’s working for you. 

You've been thinking about starting a newsletter or Substack for months (maybe years), but the tech is overwhelming and you're not sure where to begin.

You're a business owner, author, coach, or creator who has something valuable to say—but social media feels like the wrong place to say it.

A day made for you...

this is for you if...

You have expertise, experience, and a point of view—but you haven't found the platform that lets you go deep instead of performing for an algorithm.

You want to build an audience you own. One that grows with you, not one that disappears when a platform changes its rules.

You're ready to stop dabbling and start building something intentional and you want a clear plan, a supportive room, and an expert team in your corner to do it.

You're a Circle member, a Choice client, or someone in Heather's world who has been waiting for exactly this kind of day.

Meet Heather

Over the last three decades, I've had the honor of walking alongside hundreds of women as they grow, launch, and scale their dreams. I've guided more than 150 New York Times bestselling authors, built a publicity career that has spanned 30 years, and most recently launched my own Substack, The Red Lip Life, to #12 in the Business category in its very first week. It would be a privilege to serve you, too.

Heather Adams 

the woman behind the workshop

As an entrepreneur, wife, and mama, it is my mission to link arms with other women and share my hard-fought wisdom, cheering you on as you build a life you love. 

What's the difference between the Workshop Only and the Bundle?

Is this workshop only one day? Will I walk away with something finished?

What if I already have a newsletter or email list?

I'm not a writer. Is this still for me?

Not at all. This workshop is designed for beginners—you don't need an account, a niche, or any prior experience with the platform. If you've never opened Substack before, you're in exactly the right place. We'll walk you through everything.

Do I need to already have a Substack account to attend?

Will there be opportunities to work with Choice after the workshop? 

What if I have questions before I register?

I'm a Circle member or a current/previous Choice client—how do I access my discount?

Is the workshop virtual? Will it be recorded?

If you have expertise, a story, or a point of view—you're a writer. This workshop will help you find your voice, identify what you already have to say, and build a content plan around your natural strengths. You don't need to be polished. You need to be willing. Plus, we can help you learn how to repurpose your content from other platforms so it fits well on Substack.

Even better. One of the sessions covers exactly how to migrate your existing list to Substack and leverage what you've already built. You're not starting over—you're leveling up.

Yes—and yes. Every session is designed to move you forward in real time. By the end of the day you'll have your brand messaging, your content pillars, your monetization decision, and your launch roadmap. These aren't homework assignments. They're built during the workshop, with the Choice team in the room with you. However, we’re not building your site in real time. You’ll take your plan and do that on your own or (for Bundle Buyers ONLY), the Choice Team will do that for you after the event.

The Workshop gives you the complete strategy—your message, your content plan, and your launch roadmap. The Bundle adds a done-for-you Substack site built by the Choice team after the workshop. If you want to build the site yourself, the Workshop is everything you need. If you want to hand that part off to experts, the Bundle is for you.

The Choice team will build your Substack site—including your banner, bio, about section, and welcome email. You'll have a 1:1 strategy session with a Choice strategist before the build begins, and one round of edits after. You provide the writing, images, and logo—we handle everything else. The build takes 30–90 days depending on your launch timeline and team availability. An optional graphic design package (brand guide, fonts, and logo) is available for an additional fee or we can use what you already have.

This workshop is one of my favorite things I've ever created because it puts the strategy, the tools, and the team directly in your hands. I can't wait to see what you build.

I've spent more than two decades helping women build brands they're proud of.
