TL/DR: I'm taking another break. Tragic, I know. With reach where it is, I think it's better to focus on getting ahead and come back in a more comfortable position to create and upload more consistently. Soft timeline is come back by March, but will be playing it by ear.

Let me start by saying I’m okay. I am not burnt out and my mental health isn’t in trouble (though it’s definitely taken a hit at the time of writing this), but I’m not questioning my worth as a person or creator. I am still very much in love with making audios, and I plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

However, I am going to take another break. Why? Because my reach sucks. Although it’s very frustrating knowing the work I put into audios and the quality of them and not seeing them reach people, I also know a lot of that is outside of my control. This is also why I feel like it’s okay for me to step back for a bit.

Audios take me a while to make. Between writing scripts, trying to find a good time to record, editing the audios, and personal things pulling at me, I’ve found it hard to stay consistent. And with my reach as small as it is right now, I don’t think it’s currently worth stressing myself out and scrambling every week.

So I will be taking time for myself to focus on getting ahead and setting a few things up. My goal is to get into a comfortable position by March, but I don’t want to hold myself to a hard deadline right now. So let’s say it’s a soft timeline. In the meantime, streams will still continue every week at the usual time: Thursdays at 6 pm PST. I won’t be on socials as much except to post the last of my old audios and to give the occasional update to let you know I’m doing okay. The V-Day exclusive audio will still be released, and the AMA celebration stream is still happening on Valentine’s Day—Saturday, Feb. 14.

I am so grateful for how patient you all have always been with me. I know I’m often hard on myself, but that’s because I know what I’m capable of and I want to do my best for you. But right now, that means stepping away for a bit to plan and get things in motion. I hope you wait for me, but I understand if you don’t. I’m excited for things I have planned, and I hope to share more experiences with you ❤️
