A Note From Colleen
Hi, friends!
I have incredible news. His name is Stan (aka Stan.Store), and he’s our new best friend. If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to do my thing, not become a tech wizard,” Stan is for you.
Stan is a game-changer for those of us who want to sell digital products, services, or memberships online—without the headache of complicated tech setups.
I love Stan, and I think you will too.
Also - a PERSONAL INVITATION to check out The 3rd Act Collective Membership Community. If you’re ready to leverage your know-how online and make money - and you want support - I invite you to LEARN MORE HERE.
Thanks for being here.
Cheers,
Colleen Kochannek, Publisher

WHY STAN? SIMPLICITY IS EVERYTHING.
If you want to make money online, you need a way to sell what you offer, collect payments, and deliver your product.
Traditionally, you had two choices:
Complicated “All-in-One” Platforms (like Kajabi, Teachable, or Kartra). These claim to be easy, but they assume a lot of tech know-how. I spent six months figuring out Kajabi - no thanks.
Piecing Together Different Tools (using Zapier to connect a landing page builder, email service, payment processor, and digital product delivery). This is a tech circus, and I know you don’t want to be the ringmaster.
Enter Stan.
Stan is the New Plan
Stan.Store lets you:
✅ Sell digital products (any format)
✅ Take payments via PayPal and Stripe
✅ Build and host eCourses & memberships
✅ Deliver digital products automatically
✅ Communicate with customers through built-in email services
No website needed. No custom domain setup. Just plug in your info and go.
Time to set up? About 30 minutes (seriously).
Stan is Affordable, Too
If tech has been your biggest hurdle, I encourage you to check out Stan. You don’t need to be a tech person. You just need a simple system that works.
LEARNING TO LIVE ALONE
In my experience, there’s a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely. And if you’ve recently found yourself living solo - whether by choice, circumstance, or a little of both - it’s natural to wonder which one will show up at your doorstep.
For some, solitude is a gift, a chance to stretch out, reclaim space (both literal and emotional), and rediscover what they like without negotiation. For others, the quiet can feel deafening, a reminder of what once was or what’s now missing.
But no matter where you fall on that spectrum, the good news is that living alone isn’t just about adjusting - it’s about designing a life that feels fulfilling, rich, and deeply yours.
Maybe you’re someone who always had a full house - kids, a partner, a dog that somehow required more attention than both combined. Now, the question isn’t “What’s for dinner?” but “Do I even want dinner?” (Turns out, cheese and crackers or frozen pizza totally count.)
Or perhaps you’ve always been fiercely independent, and this new chapter simply amplifies your love of uninterrupted hobbies, guilt-free Netflix marathons, or making coffee exactly the way you like it, every single morning.
Learning to live alone is less about filling space and more about curating it. It’s about choosing what goes on the walls, what sounds fill the silence, and how you want your days to unfold. It’s the freedom to eat breakfast at noon, take up a new hobby without an audience, and, yes, talk to yourself without judgment.
Thriving in solitude isn’t about never feeling lonely - it’s about knowing how to enjoy your own company, build connections on your own terms, and create a life that feels expansive, not empty. Because at the end of the day, the quiet isn’t a void - it’s your life to build.
Follow me everywhere. One of my goals moving forward is to build a thriving community across multiple platforms, so no matter where you prefer to hang out online, you can connect with me.
