The Leaving the Casino book is out in the world! The first physical copies landed on doorsteps yesterday, and if you've ordered a copy, you have received the digital files!
I've learned so much this week...
... How to pack books when the books are slightly smaller than the boxes
... What size bubble mailers you *actually* need to ship a 6x9 book (because it's not a 6x9 mailer)
... The pros and cons of checkout with Google Pay options
... Who in your life you'd never expect to buy your book (but actually bought it)
This week has been a gift. And on my birthday weekend, no less!
Yes, my birthday is this Monday, October 6.
What a treat to have my actual birthday and my book's first birthday be at the same time. So can you help me celebrate?
The best gifts you can get an author
Order your copy!
The best gift you can get an author is to buy the book. So if you haven't gotten your copy yet, you can do that and (in the US), your books will ship out next week, but you'll get your digital copies as soon as you order!
Clients/Members use discount code DFMEMBERS for 10% off.
International? You can buy a physical paperback copy of the book worldwide on Amazon in late October, or buy a digital copy today.
Help me spread the word
Most authors organize a launch team months in advance… but I was too excited and wanted to get the books into your hands first.
If you’d like to help share Leaving the Casino, I’d love to have you on the launch team.
Fill out the form below so I can coordinate with you and/or send you swipe copy and graphics. You can post about it on social, feature me/the book on your podcast or newsletter, bring me in to your community to speak, post about it in other places on the internet, and more!
Launch week has been exhilarating and exhausting, and I can't thank you enough for being here on the journey. The messages I've received, the shipping notifications you've sent me, the comments on LinkedIn — it's always so tender to put your work out in the world, and I can't thank you enough for the supportive words.
The first copies leaving the nest!
NEW EPISODES
How a launch changes you: Meg's Evolution from AI Skeptic to Strategist
We often talk about launches as big, flashy events. But what happens behind the scenes when you’re not just releasing something new—but becoming someone new in the process?
In this episode, Meg takes us inside the creation and launch of Findable Everywhere—not as a polished “launch debrief,” but as a real-time reflection on what it means to declare a new chapter in your work. We dig into the decisions along the way: how a paused summit talk became a test run, how she built a course that worked for beginners and advanced folks (and the complications that come with that), and how teaching this material sharpened her clarity and authority. Plus: the real numbers, the behind-the-scenes updates, and the emotional roller coaster of launching while also changing.
Rachel Hatteberg Walt (founder of Craftingood) is opening a 6-week group journey that blends Human Design, meditation, Reiki, collage, and nature-based rituals. It's designed to help you align with your energy, trust your body’s wisdom, and grow into your fullest expression so you can have more clarity, satisfaction, peace, success, and impact.🌸 ✨ Starts 10/29/25.
I love everything Regina teaches. And her video about frameworks is *gold*.
5 types of frameworks (1. structural, 2. sequential, 3. hierarchical, 4. discretional, and 5. elemental) will help you become a better thinker, teacher, coach, consultant, or leader. These 5 frameworks have been the driving forces behind my lesson designs (for both in-person and online courses) for the last 12+ years, and what I've put in books and my strategy services. They're also how I learn new things quickly and thoroughly 💡.
