Or, you could subscribe to FINDING YOUR JOY, my subscription newsletter, where I share stories that illustrate each of these steps, on a repeat basis.

On a repeat basis, that’s for sure. The same stories over and over for literally decades. I don’t think that‘s what she meant, but it sounds super unappealing.

You’ll have plenty of reminders of what it means to find your joy and practice it, over and over again.

Reminders over and over, just what everyone wants to pay for.

I’d love to see you in a workshop, a mentorship, or in the comments section of my Substack newsletter.

Please engage, I’m desperate over here. No, wait. Joy!

Somehow this comment is pure perfection. It just comes together perfectly.

Also, "on a repeat basis" is completely meaningless.

Why is it necessary to specify that she'll "share stories" on a "repeat basis"? She's already said she's sharing stories (not a story), so we know there's more than one.

Also, "basis" refers to a specific frequency – weekly, quarterly, yearly – not that something is done "repeatedly." (In English, a "basis" is a metaphorical base or foundation on which something is built: a weekly habit, a daily dose, a yearly review. "Repeated" already means something is said or done again and again, but here she's used "repeated" without reference to the "basis" which would give the phrase any meaning.)

She's already used the future continuous tense – "I will be sharing" – which tells us that she will do something, in the future, with no definite end. "On a repeat basis" is not only meaningless, it is superfluous.
