Cindy Lamothe

It’s my birthday month and I wanted to celebrate by launching my very first Substack! “Uncaged” has been on my mind for ages. The idea is based on one of my favorite quotes by Isadora Duncan: “You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.” substack.com/home/post/p-14…

#SOURCEREQUEST: Looking for college grads who are planning on starting their retirement fund from monetary gifts. This is for a major publication so please LMK me if this is you or you know someone interested!

Writers! Using only a GIF, show us where you are in your current WIP!

So I love Stranger Things as much as anyone, but when do these people sleep?! Feel like it’s a major error and I can’t look past it lol

A reminder for all the writers: The words you’re putting down today might find the person who needs them tomorrow, next month, or even years from now. You’re not just writing for yourself (or your agent or your editor). You’re writing for THEM. Writing is leaving pieces of yourself for others to find and connect with, whenever they need it most. ❤️

Thank you @CRLamothe for your kind words and for being such a wonderful friend. Xo

@dr_fraga SO PROUD OF YOU!! 👏🏼

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to one of my fave writers and people @dr_fraga 💗 She has written countless amazing articles on mental health and parenting for top newspapers and magazines and now she’s co-written this amazing book that I know most parents need!

So honored that my work has been cited in two very different books. ✨ – John C. Maxwell’s High Road Leadership (2024), a book shaping leaders around the world. – Eleanor Johnson’s Scream With Me (Simon & Schuster, 2025), exploring horror films and the rise of American feminism.

This poem by @Joseph_Fasano_ is a stunner ❤️

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

Was a pleasure getting to interview bestselling author @XoAmandaFrances for my latest @GOBankingRates story on teaching parents how to make financial literacy fun for kids in the New Year. Lots of great nuggets of info here! gobankingrates.com/money/financia…

I’ll be staying inside books for the next four years. At least their villains are contained to a page.

This IS the bad place

The best way to gauge others’ values isn’t to ask them directly. It’s to see who they respect. Shallow people are impressed by superficiality. They look up to beauty, fame, money & power. Deep people are drawn to substance. They admire wisdom, kindness, creativity & integrity.

A phenomenal essay by one of my favorite people 💗

Friends, I have heart surgery coming up, & am hurting. Faith & Poetry keep me going, but I might take a break for a short while. I hope scrolling back through my account gives you poems, resources, & love. I'm sure I'll be back soon to keep trying to bring some 🕯
