Introducing "Feminist Rants" with Becky Mollenkamp

Welcome to a new Becky Mollenkamp joint...

New newsletter, new look, same feminist shit.

During a catch-up call this week, a biz friend asked about the email list for my coaching business. I had to confess that I don't have one.

I used to. But then I moved to Substack in 2023 when I launched Feminist Founders newsletter. That was perfect...until now.

This year, I've partnered with Faith Clarke to expand the Feminist Founders community. It no longer only represents me and my business. It's becoming something so much bigger.

That has left me without a solo space to talk about my work.

Enter Feminist Rants are My Superpower.

I'm excited to start this new monthly-ish newsletter where I'll talk about whatever the fuck I want, always grounded in intersectional feminism.

I don't have a strategy or a plan. I'm flying by the seat of my yoga pants, which is my favorite way to operate.

Whether it's coaching a client, parenting, or creating a new offer, things always work well for me when I do what feels good and right.

If I had to guess, though, this will be a space where I'll share:

… gems uncovered in my coaching work,
… personal experiences running a feminist business,
… resources I enjoy or find helpful,
… my latest offers or the fun stuff I'm working on,
… random feminist rants related to business, politics, or pop culture,
... and anything that lights me up.

This won't be for everyone.

So far, only 9 of the 700+ people on this years-old email list have opted into this new venture. 🤣 That's totally cool if most of you aren't interested (after all, I don't want to speak to people who don't want to hear what I have to share).

But I want to give you another chance.

Change is inevitable. Here in the Midwest, people love to say "if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change." The same can be said about life. Nothing stays the same for long. For the first 3 months of the year, 90% of my brain space was taken up with fear and worry about the new administration. Those very real concerns remain, but then Tax Day changed my perspective. Money troubles took up 90% of my brain space as I tried to figure out how to pay a very late tax bill....

I don't know what to say, honestly. I'm still in awe. Last week, I sent this email, and it was the hardest thing I've ever written. (And that's coming from someone who has shared every "secret," including having had 2 abortions, having cheated on her ex-husband, and having lost her brother to heroin). The next day, I felt such regret that I sent this email talking about that, too. About 37% of you saw those emails, and 13% of my total email list unsubscribed. But nearly as many people (36)...

Yesterday, I sent a really vulnerable email. Here's how the next 24 hours went. I'm sorry for sending 2 emails in 2 days, but I'm always deeply curious when someone else sends an email like the one I sent yesterday. Did they get what they asked for? Was it as embarrassing as they feared?Do they wish they hadn't sent it? So, here's a 24-hours-later update. First, the data: Open rate is 32.78%, a solid 10% lower than usual. 18 people (or .05% of my total list) unsubscribed. The click rate was...
