Welcome to The Ecstatic Review: an exploration of expression for the creative and complex.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t make sense, can’t possibly shape yourself to fit the things you’re being asked to fit into, might actually be 10 people living in the body of one person, loathe the non-question question “Tell me about yourself,” or you’re just not quite sure how to share the big ideas or explain the bold moves you feel called to make, The Ecstatic Review was created with you in mind.
Who created this?
The Review is an extension of Ecstatic Voice, a communication studio and voice lab in Los Angeles. Both were created by me, Cate Scott Campbell: an editorial director, brand voice architect, and content strategist. I’m also an enthusiastic conversationalist and the pursuer of an intentionally interdisciplinary career.
In the last two decades, I’ve developed brand voice, shaped communication and content strategy, devised and directed projects across mediums (including a top-ranked podcast), performed on stages and screens, and named many best-selling products. My work has been featured in The Washington Post, Forbes, Adweek, Ms. Magazine, and BUST, commissioned by Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls and Southern California Public Radio, and funded by The Harnisch Foundation.
You can learn more about me and EV right here.
What should I expect?
I think of The Ecstatic Review as part newsletter, part show, and one purposely exploratory conversation with you. That means you’re not going to find any of those overly simplified and highly prescriptive internet hits like “How to Do X Correctly” or “5 Signs You’re Doing Y All Wrong” or “This One Thing Will Transform Everything!” Instead, you’ll find plenty of invitations to choose your own adventure and make your own decisions about what’s right for you.
Where should I begin?
Wherever you join this conversation is the right place. If you want some ideas for where to start, here are a few:

Extra perks along the way
Whichever adventure you choose, I hope it makes your inbox fuller in the best way. If you have questions or feedback you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
And if you like what you see, hear, and read, I’d love for you to tell a friend, restack a favorite quote, or share in any other way that feels good to you. All are welcome, and every voice makes this whole experience that much fuller.
Talk soon,
