Hey friend,
I’ve been doing some behind-the-scenes work that I want to share with you: The Pocket is moving from Substack to Kit.com.
This isn’t just a technical move. It’s me taking my own advice.
In The Culture You Carry, I wrote about how the environments we choose shape us. This move is me choosing a platform whose culture and opportunities feel more aligned with the values I want this space to embody.
In Stuck on the Runway, I warned against circling forever without taking off. This migration is me deciding it’s time to lift into the air with the right tools for growth, even if the transition could be bumpy.
And in Eight Principles of Adult Behavior, I nodded to the principle of bravery. Even small decisions — like where we host our words — are chances to act with integrity.
What This Means for You
Same heart, same content. You’ll still get the reflections, frameworks, and questions you’ve come to expect. The voice doesn’t change, only the vessel.
More attuned content. Kit lets me better understand what resonates with you, so I can send more of that — and less noise.
Beyond posts and essays. I’ll be able to share guides, assessments, frameworks, and other useful resources to bring more depth to The Pocket.
The full archive of posts will live here on Substack for some transition time, and is also now available on my new website.
Why the Migration Matters
A better inbox experience for you. Kit gives me sharper tools — segmentation, tagging, cleaner design — so what you receive in your inbox feels less generic, more intentional, more tailored to you.
Because values count. Substack’s permissiveness toward white supremacist voices has been troubling for me. I don’t have unlimited power, but I do have the choice of where to host my words. This move is one way of putting that choice into practice.
Because the future is wide open. I believe there’s more The Pocket can become — more tools, more frameworks, more experimentation, deeper dialogue. Kit gives me the room to build toward that.
What You Need to Do
The migration from Substack to Kit will happen automatically, so there shouldn’t be anything for you to do on your end. With that said: no tech nor transition is perfect. If there are a few glitches, please be patient with me, and trust that we’ll get it worked out. Look out for a welcome message from The Pocket in your inbox — that’ll be the signal that things have switched over.
This move feels less like leaving one platform and more like turning the page to a new chapter — one that honors the values I’ve written about all along.
Thanks, truly, for walking with me.
