Hello, my lovely Hype Yourself readers!
The #deletegate episode continued to be the gift that kept on giving after someone on the engineering team at Substack mistakenly disconnected my Stripe account, which meant I began the month with multiple paid cancellation notifications (only they hadn’t cancelled!!!).
Fingers crossed, we are now over the technical hurdles and can move on to the good stuff.
Here is a recap of everything I created and hosted in the Hype Yourself vault this month, along with a preview of what's to come.

Why you should consider attending a big festival like Cannes Lions
I wrote a piece about putting yourself where you don’t belong. Part of what has contributed to my success is having the audacity to show up in spaces that are bigger than me.
I expanded more on how I hyped myself at the festival this year to inspire you to do the same!
I also partnered with Adobe Express to create some festival content. This includes one of my favourite content hacks! Watch for the sound enhancer - it is a game-changer!
I walked my hype talk and took a tip from the Happiful workshop
I pitched six different article ideas after Fiona mentioned that editors like having a choice and knowing you are malleable. This led to a commission of four articles for Creative Boom, three of which have already appeared
