A week ago I asked if you’d be interested in monthly live calls - not me presenting boring stuff you already saw in my videos, but actual direct conversations about what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next.

The answers were clear: yes, make it happen.

So here’s what we’re doing to kick-off 2026 properly:

Monthly VIP Experience Sessions

Starting next week. One hour. Once a month.

Here’s the format:

• Quick check-in (~10 min) Everyone shares a word about how their Substack month went. No pressure, just connection.

• Mastermind (~20 min) What’s working now + what’s not - we’ll share what works, what doesn’t, tactics we’ve tested, and behind-the-scenes of what we’re currently working on. Most of us are experienced on the platform, and I named this membership VIP for a reason - let’s build a space where we have a closer connection and help each other move ahead faster.

• Sparring (~20 min) Bring your specific idea or a challenge - your publication setup, a post that flopped, a funnel that’s stuck, a new logo, anything. The group weighs in. I add my take. You leave with a concrete next step.

• Accountability (~10 min) Everyone commits to one thing they’ll do the next 3 weeks. We follow up on the next call.

The details:

• When: Fourth Tuesday, every month at 1pm EST in US (7pm CET in Europe)

• Where: Zoom (link with recurring calendar appointment coming to your inbox - VIPs only)

• Recordings: will be available to VIPs only

• First session: 27th of January 2026

Between calls, we’ll have a WhatsApp group to stay connected and keep the conversation alive. It’s where we share wins, bring collaboration ideas, ask questions, or just say hi. I’ll share the link with the invite to the group in the invitation.

What I need from you:

Come with intention:

1. Stay active in the conversation

2. Share what’s on your plate right now and get feedback

3. Bring one win from the past month and share what worked (or a lesson learned)

If you can’t make the first call, no stress - there’ll be a replay and the WhatsApp group keeps the conversation going.

Let’s make 2026 the year your Substack actually pays you back.

See you soon,

Yana

P.S. I’m increasing VIP price for new members soon, so if you’ve been considering the VIP tier, now would be a good time to take the leap.
