To ask me a question for potential consideration for my newsletter’s advice column, Dear Sandy, you can write to whatshelpingtoday at gmail dot com. (Do not write this address for other reasons; I will ignore.) Note my newsletter is no longer on Substack; it’s now on beehiiv: subscribe there.

Here were the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, sixth, and seventh installments of my advice column.

Visit this page to learn more about hiring me potentially to speak for your organization. As I say there, contact either my speaking agent Leslie (linked above) or if applicable me directly (via the form below) and we can discuss your situation. Please put “Speaking” in your subject line; I’ll respond to you as soon as I can.

To contact me regarding potential consulting work, use the same form below. Please put “Consulting” in your subject line and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Note re: consulting: I offer sliding scale rates, some pro bono work, and also offer a free 15 minute call or zoom for those potentially interested. Learn more here.

Please note: I do not respond to most email I receive and haven’t had the bandwidth to do so since 2018 or so, when my book first published.

So, before you email me, consider if you’d rather for example send a question into my advice column mentioned above, which greatly increases the chances I might write back (albeit publicly. I won’t reprint your name).

Or, consider perhaps if you’d rather reach out about hiring me to consult or to speak for your organization.

If you’re new to my work: Perhaps check out these “Starter Packs” with some links to my previously published pieces, which I’ve curated depending on your potential interests …

Please subscribe to my free newsletter, What’s Helping Today (now on beehiiv; please don’t subscribe over on Substack; it’s moved). You can also follow me on Bluesky. Or listen to my Mad Chat (only on YouTube).

Consider buying my book or requesting it from your local library (you can ask them to buy a copy if they don’t have one already).

Finally: I’m a freelance, independent journalist. If you like my work or have found it useful, please consider supporting me via my “Buy Me a Coffee”. Thank you!!!
