"how to cultivate a personal life philosophy that’s robust enough to sustain you through the hard times" -- This is the only question I've been contemplating for the last 18 months!! Excited to explore it and for your transition, congrats!
Just subscribed all the way from the heart of Africa. I discovered you at The Cut, and couldn't bear the thought of loosing you♥️. The search for joy and truth are universal. Now, a challenge: how consistently universal can your crazy, lovingly aggressive guidance be? You've managed to inspire my Rwandan heart and mind so far. I'm sure we'll get to see an ever freer, brutally truthful, flawed Polly here. Can't wait! Leaving the comfy nest and glow of a massive media company can't have been easy. Well done on taking the leap.
Thank you for this!!!!! And thank you to everyone writing these nice comments. It so great to feel supported and embraced. I hope I can give that same feeling back to all of you and then some!
Great! I think I've been reading you for at least 7 years now? Somewhere during the Awl days anyway. Looking forward to having all your writing beamed directly into my inbox.
I'm so happy to finally get just a full blast of Ask Polly non-stop! I've been reading and recommending your columns to anyone who comes near me since The Awl days and you've truly influenced my life in a fabulous way. Can't wait to read even MORE :D
Ask Polly is the only reason I subscribed to NY Mag, and I mentioned that in the comments when I canceled my subscription last night. Congrats! This is your calling! My teen daughter and I read your column together and try to guess what you’re going to say before we read your response. You ALWAYS exceed our expectations! No matter the subject, your thoughts resonate with me; you’ve truly taught me so much. Thank you! I’m ready for more!

I was there for your very first magazine, and it's so nice to be a part of your (r)evolution.
I’ll follow you anywhere Heather, and I have since you wrote tv reviews as a rabbit. Congrats on making a change, it’s never easy!
YES and THANK YOU to all of this!!
Just wanted to say I've been reading since The Awl, love your work, totally switched my subscription from Nymag to your substack. :)
Thank you! Very very appreciated.
Congrats Heather! Will spread the word.

E. Jean, thank you. I've been reading your new newsletter and laughing my ass off. Jellied kumquats, my god you have a gift. xoxo
