In 2023, I co-founded Platonic Love Media, a Substack bestselling newsletter and media brand built from scratch.
Together with my co-founder, Aja Frost, we’ve grown Platonic Love into a well-loved and profitable brand with over 39,000 followers, a highly-engaged readership, and a distinct editorial voice — all without paid acquisition or outside funding. The newsletter publishes twice weekly and is known for blending cultural insight, personal storytelling, and sharp curation.
Platonic Love has been featured in Cup of Jo, The Washington Post, and other leading culture and lifestyle publications. We’ve also worked with flagship brands like Warby Parker, Studs, East Fork Pottery, and 831 Stories as well as numerous bestselling authors and celebrities like Allison Williams (Girls, Get Out) and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai.
The brand has become a trusted destination in a new ecosystem — and we’re excited to continue taking it to the next level.
About UsPlatonic Love is a Substack bestselling newsletter by friends, for friends.
We started Platonic Love to bring more joy to your inbox and dive into the thorny and often under-discussed realities of adulthood — from thinking about how your friendships are changing as you get older (in ways both good and potentially destabilizing) to figuring out what it means to juggle all of your roles, like friend, partner, creative, mom, sibling, child, self, and more.
