Stepping Inside is a newsletter that explores the concept of allowing progress and growth while breaking down perfectionism cycles. It’s also a chance to connect with you, as a reader, and to allow myself to be a bit more vulnerable in those connections. I’m taking my life more intentionally while investing the time I have to give myself grace and achieve my goals with more ease and self-love.

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

About the author

Hi there, I’m Adia Sinead! I’m at a place where I’m a bit over the concept of working myself to the bone, disregarding my own health and mental state due to responsibility, waffling between procrastinating and being unkind to myself for procrastinating, and forgetting to spend some time relaxing and having fun. My instinct is to always be reaching towards something better, but in my 33rd year, I’m adjusting to the concept of….wait for it…balance!

What brought me to Substack is the opportunity to build community in a vibrant platform where people are reading, rather than scrolling, connecting rather than just commenting or reacting. There are so many beautiful writers here sharing their stories on so many different subjects and topics and I hope to learn from all of you.

What to expect

Stepping Inside will be a recurring monthly newsletter, one filled to the brim with stories and reflections as I start to navigate the new space I am in. I will be sharing the realities of growing into adulthood and, trying to keep the house—and everything else in my life—in order while rejecting perfectionism.

Subscribe to come along this journey with me, we’ll build something great together.
