Hi Reader, my fellow earthling, Someone recently shared with me the seven magic words they use to start conversations about their work. And it got me thinking: I’ve got a seven-word phrase too. A verbal recipe. A little conversation starter. One that works like a charm for anyone out there who refers people my way—whether for website copy, bios, newsletters, or other “what do I even say here” moments. Here it is: 👉 “What are you saying on your website?” Simple. Direct. Non-threatening. It invites someone to pause and reflect. Usually, the answers sound like:
That’s when you can step in and say: “You need Judi. She’s the writer people call when they want their words to actually do the job—whether that’s converting clicks into clients or telling your story in a way that finally feels like you.” If you’re someone who has ever sent a client or colleague my way (thank you!) or you’ve wanted to but weren’t quite sure how to tee it up—consider this your cheat code. And because I’m me, I made an actual cheat sheet for you. Print it, pin it, share it with your team. Or keep it tucked in your mental glovebox for the next time someone says, “Ugh, I need to update my website.” And if you need a tune-up on your website or LinkedIn profile… or you’re tired of playing Mad Libs with your own About page… You know where to find me.

Stay tuned—next week, I promise, it’ll all make sense (and trust me, you won’t want to miss it). To suspense and fresh starts, Best,
Hi Reader, Happy Labor Day! While you may be sitting poolside or enjoying a day in your garden as you soak up the last days of summer, my kids and I are celebrating our favorite holiday: Allston Christmas! Every September 1st, Allston Christmas, my personal Super Bowl, descends upon Boston like clockwork. Thousands of students unleash chaos upon the city, transforming sidewalks into impromptu flea markets overflowing with discarded furniture and odds and ends. It's not just an event—it's my...
Hi Reader, my fellow food lover, Years ago, I boldly declared: kids should make their own lunch. Yes, make their own lunch. Cue the gasps, eye-rolls, and the occasional concerned “Are you sure about this?” from parents who thought I was either a little nuts or a bad mom pushing childhood out the door faster than a speeding rollercoaster.
