Hi everyone! 😖 😭 After much thought, I have decided to close this platform. This was not an easy choice, but after experiencing a sudden family crisis, I have struggled to recover my focus and energy. The truth is, I’ve been in a kind of survival mode, and as much as I wanted to pour into this space, I simply haven’t been able to refocus in the way I had hoped. On top of that, hosting the platform costs $100 per month, and given my current situation, it has become more of an expense than a sustainable investment. While this chapter is coming to a close, I want to thank you all for the thoughtful discussions and engagement. It’s been meaningful to see how this space has fostered learning and connection. I did consider a last-minute attempt to save it—thinking that I could offer another member the opportunity to co-teach on the platform while I take the time I need to recover. However, for that to work, someone would need to step in and invest in hosting and recording videos on the syllabus for the next few weeks while I regain my footing. If that’s something anyone is seriously interested in, please reach out to me ASAP, and we can discuss what that might look like. If no one is able to take on that role, the platform will officially close soon this Saturday. If you’ve found any materials, discussions, or resources helpful, please download or screenshot anything you’d like to keep before access is removed. I truly appreciate the time, energy, and insight you all have brought into this space. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I appreciate your understanding and support more than I can express. Wishing you all the best in your continued journeys.
