Christin's Behind-the-Scenes Sunday 🎥

This entry was imported from a newsletter.

Dear Ones,

It’s chilly, windy, and rainy tonight in the Bay Area! I hope you all are staying warm and cozy, wherever you are.

3 Bullets of Updates:

Christine and I got into the final round of the Maven course accelerator program, yay!

We have one more step that we need your help with: can you please fill out this quick 5-question survey? We are tasked with getting 50 responses to a course validation survey—right now, we have a “general idea” of what we’d like to teach, but we need to know what…people actually might want to learn! The idea is that we need to meet in the middle for market-fit.

I’m learning quickly that it takes a whole village to make a course, and I would like to give back as much as possible. Would it help if I document the process of course-making? What would you like to learn, on a meta level?

3 Bullets of Vulnerability:

I struggled with getting this newsletter out today. Between getting knocked off my feet with the vaccine booster, holiday socializing meetups, getting ready for a potential local move, amongst other reasons, I had a hard time putting fingers-to-keyboard.

As I fell asleep last night I visualized the inner workings of my mind, and I saw that similar to extremely dirty homes, I’ve over the years accumulated a lot of unpleasantness within, and while I’m able to be “in my inner home” most days and function, extreme stress levels throw me off-kilter. Like living in a dirty home and getting used to it most days, and only realizing how terrible it is on certain high-stress days.

So what does this all mean? This week, I’m working on restoring faith in myself—a form of tidying up I suppose—and working on making a nicer inner home. I aim to get back to my routine and get back to writing again! So I added a “Draft 0s” section to my personal website as a placeholder.

Warm Wishes, Christin
