January is a scam. Try this instead.

​
Three free things to make Monday suck less.

​
Dear Sparkler,
​

Tomorrow, millions of people drag themselves back to work.

Inbox exploding. "Circling back" emails hunting you down. Sad salads. A gym membership you'll abandon by February. Performing "new year new me" energy you absolutely do not feel.
​

January is a scam. It's the Monday of months.

So here's a different idea - and three free things to help.
​
​FREE THING #1: The Fuck-It List Essay​
​

What if instead of another list of things you SHOULD do, you wrote a list of what you're finally saying FUCK IT to?

​
Not a bucket list. Those are dreams for someday. Not a "stop doing" list. That's just running away.

​
A Fuck-It List says FUCK IT to fear, perfectionism, other people's rules, and the voice that whispers "who do you think you are?" β€” then says YES to the bold moves you've been circling. Maybe for years.

​
I've written the full methodology: what it is, why profanity matters (there's research), plus my actual list β€” done and still-to-do.

​
​
​FREE THING #2: The Fuck-It List Workbook​
​

Not a PDF that gathers dust. It's designed to take 15-20 minutes. Today. Before Monday hits.

​

​
​FREE THING #3: How to Ask for a Raise (YouTube)
​

If "get paid what I'm worth" is on your Fuck-It List (it's on mine, still), this one's for you.

​
​One more thing:
​

I've launched a Substack called Nishma Unfiltered. It's where I'm writing longer essays, sharing the Fuck-It List methodology, AI walk-throughs and show+tell, and building a community for those overlooked, understimated, frustrated or fired up, or simply done waiting for permission.
​

This newsletter isn't going anywhere - you'll still get event invites, Spotlight interviews, and Glittersphere news here.
But if you want the essays, AI reveals too, subscribe:
​Nishma Unfiltered.

​
​The rules are being rewritten. ​
​

This time, we hold the pen.​

Hi, A little while ago, I went deep on AI. Not to become an expert, but honestly to stop burning out. I was drowning in work, and I wanted my time back. What I found surprised me. Real AI fluency doesn't just save you hours. It expands what you're capable of, and it opens doors. And the more I used it, the more determined I became about one thing. The shifts coming with AI are enormous, and I don't want them to miss the very people who could benefit most. I don't want this to follow the same...

Welcome to Day 30 of the challenge. The last one. First, a small confession. This "thirty-day" challenge took a little longer than thirty days. Some of that was me. Some of it was Cannes Lions, the rosΓ©, and a heatwave that melted my schedule along with everything else. So if you were left hanging on the odd day, I'm sorry. Blame me, or blame the CΓ΄te d'Azur. Either way, you're here now, and so am I. Let's finish this. When we started, AI was probably a chat box you opened now and then and...

Hello Sparkler, A friend saw what AI was actually doing for me. Her face did the thing only good friends can get away with. Then she said something that made me go home and rewrite the V2 plan I'd been building for months: "You have to share this with other women." So I did. Properly. πŸͺ©πŸͺ©πŸͺ© Glittersphere V2: Sparkle + AI πŸͺ©πŸͺ©πŸͺ© is LIVE NOW The sequel we've all been waiting for. Yes, even more than Devil Wears Prada 2. I stand by it. Glittersphere V2 is events-led. Built around women together in...
