@Cheri Happy spring!
(Parenthetically, but not to disprove your larger point, I will note you wrote a couple of great articles about Patreon and the Spotify podcast acquisitions back in February, because I reread them this week. Thank you again for those.)
@Cheri What a wonderful, open, honest post. Way to be vulnerable and allow that to help heal you. I send you compassion at your father’s passing, which will probably be hard periodically for the rest of your life. Allowing yourself to fully grieve sounds so healthy. Thanks for sharing!
@Cheri I know what this is like. My father passed a couple years ago while I was still taking classes and it affected my performance heavily. It wasn’t all low, as everything was a bit of a roller coaster for me and my grades reflected that. It affected my personal relationships as well. It was hard for me to be there for other people when I had to focus on healing myself. I hope Springtime continues to lift you.
@Cheri This was a great post and I feel like I’ve been there, in some way. Thank you for sharing. Also made me realize that I often forget that it’s okay to be not okay.
@Gabz @sku\_b @smokey @bennorris @ronguest (and everyone) How nice to wake up to your lovely responses! Thank you. It felt good to write that post, share it, and have it seen. 😊
@Cheri I missed the post the first time, but read it after seeing this. That was a good read. Sometimes just realizing and admitting what's going on is a big first step in dealing with it.
@Cheri Thank you for writing and sharing this post. It makes me hear the strength in vulnerability, and reminds me to check in with myself occasionally - that it's OK to not be OK.
