Hey y'all!! I just posted a message to Facebook (copied below for context). I wanted everyone to know I still plan on pouring as much as I can into this community! I'll keep the content and the frameworks coming. Please just be patient with me as I navigate this new season. And if you're interested in helping me (us) by creating your own frameworks, please reach out to @Gina Arroyo for the rules and regs :-) Love y'all! --------- Quick health update so I can stop repeating this 1:1. This might feel like a bit of an overshare, but it’s simpler to post it once and point people here since this keeps coming up. Some of you already know I’m dealing with health issues that are really the culmination of a 20+ year journey. Most recently, I’ve been strongly advised to limit travel to only what’s absolutely essential. So if you’ve been on the receiving end of a cancellation or a polite decline, that’s why. For everyone else, here’s the short version: outside of what’s critical or directly related to my health, I won’t be traveling, and I’m pulling back on most extracurricular commitments for now. I’m okay. More than okay, actually. I’m optimistic about where this is headed, and this very much feels like something for me, not happening to me. I have exceptional medical support, incredible friends and family, and the resources to properly handle this season. I’m deeply grateful for all of it, and for the kindness and well wishes I’ve already received. To be clear, I’m not dying. And I have zero intention of slowing down I am reorganizing how I spend my time and attention. So if you’ve heard “no” from me, or noticed I’ve gone a bit more inward than usual, please forgive me. Right now, if it doesn’t involve my kids or an existing business, I’m not doing it. Much love to all of you. Kasim

My marriage broke this weekend. After 25 years together, I quit it. I was tired of the same pattern repeating itself over and over. When sh*t got hard, he ran away. He didn't take ownership. Which is strange, since he's responsible when it comes to sales. He's a world-class sales guy. Knocks on doors. Generates millions of dollars as a closer, because he's non-attached - not afraid to hear 'no'. But when it comes to our marriage, he was afraid of my rejection. Our pattern, our little song and dance, is that when we were challenged, he was the one who fled, and I'm the one who stuck around and fought. And I fought for the last time this weekend, because my body can't handle the fight anymore. Not after 25 years of this. So I gave up the fight. For my health. For our kids' sake. This time, I decided to stop picking up the pieces, and accept that our marriage is over. On the surface, it looks like we have the perfect life. Perfect million-dollar family. Business we love. Big 6,000 sq foot home on 21 acres. Travel everywhere around the world. Perfect kids. Good-hearted people. This is true 95% of the time. But the 5% of the time, things were destructive. There were old demons that would always appear. No one could ever tell, unless they peaked through the curtains, broke into the house, and went down to the cellar in the back corner. That's where the demons hid. Some might look at it and say it's because it's hard to do business with your spouse. But the truth is, it's hard to do business - period. If you add an unstable relationship with demons, it makes it almost impossible. I know this sounds dramatic, and it is. There have been so many dishes broken in our marriage, words left unspoken, words harshly thrown about, and so much damage that nothing could fix it. We have no choice but to end that marriage. So, can we be successful in business and have a solid marriage simultaneously? Absolutely. I still believe in marriage. But you have to be willing to dismantle the old marriage, and build it back up - NEW.

Wesley, an adventurous and wild little child came home from school yesterday very sad. He told me that he got bullied and that he cried. My heart sunk. "What happened, baby?" I asked him. He told me that a girl at his desk pod made fun of him for eating something disgusting. Phew. Ok, I'm glad it wasn't bullying. I explained to him that bullying is when someone intentionally puts you down so that you can be inferior to their ego. I said that that's not a very nice thing for her to say, but that isn't bullying. She just doesn't yet know how to respond to different things in her life in a healthy way... yet. That's ok. I didn't want him to feel a victim, especially because I really encourage my kids to stand up for their beliefs. He decided that next time he would say: "It's not gross. And I love it! My mama made it for me with love, so it doesn't matter if you don't like it because I do!" And then he got excited that he had a plan to stand up for himself. What I made for him, most DO find disgusting. My kids don't like liver by itself, yet, every time we go to a fancy French restaurant that has a $28 pate appetizer, they basically lick it off the plate. So, I made them a blueberry pate with a maple syrup and grape compote. With homemade and home grown maple syrup and grapes. They loved it! It's hard to be different and do different things. When you do things that benefit yourself, and requires you to be brave, it can feel so hard when the rest of the world says "That's weird. That's gross.". My kids are different. They're raised different. And I want them to know that that's ok. We're not here to blend in with the crowd. You don't have to like liver, but you can be happy for someone who is eating nourishing foods that bring them joy. So the moral of the story is this: Do what you love if it benefits you and brings you joy. Because the world benefits when you are happier and healthier. With love, Nancy

Yikes. I'm going to share something kinda taboo, but I am doing so because I want to be extremely helpful. A lot of us sit around with unreleased trauma. Sometimes, this trauma can fuel us to a point, but always, it will lead to a crash and burn. Brain fog. Exhaustion. Lack of clarity. Pain. Depression. I want to start by explaining what trauma is and what it isn't. Trauma is NOT just “what happened.” It’s what happened inside of you because of an experience you went through. It’s the overwhelm your body felt when it didn’t have the safety, tools, or support to process something hard - the survival response that got stuck in your nervous system. It's the beliefs you formed in that moment about yourself, other people, or the world (“I’m not safe,” “I’m not enough,” “I have to do it all myself”). So trauma isn’t the event or situation itself — it’s the imprint the event left on your body, your mind, and your spirit. Put this way, it's understandable why so many of us approach life and business with trauma still living inside us. I want to share a personal story about how this drove me for most of my life. Until it didn't. For my Grade 8 graduation, there was a girl in my class - Nina Siingh - who won 4 big trophies, half the size of her!. Science. Gym. French Immersion. Music. I was so close. I had a 95 average, and she had a 98 average. I felt defeated every time they called her name. And then finally, at the end of the graduation, I won the 'Top Student of The Class ' award and received a little green and orange felt badge - smaller than the size of my palm. Nevertheless, I worked that stage like I owned it and was very proud of myself. At dinner that night, at home (because my parents did believe in celebration) no one said a word. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and asked my parents ' Aren't you going to say anything? I won an award!" And my dad spoke these words I'll never forget: "They only gave that to you because they felt sorry for you."

Hello to everyone reading this. I just joined the group (the approval was fast, I applied 15ish minutes ago, so pretty cool, I was expecting the decision tommorow, not this fast) The reason I joined is pretty simple, I'll make myself accountable to make "progress" posts or whatever they're called, provide value where I can and potentially gain valuable info aswell. I'll start off by backtracking to when I was 12 years old (22 now), without getting into too much details. An event happened in my life that made me want to explore making money online, since I was a kid, and getting a job was not probable at the time. I learned a couple things here and there from forums, YT videos (mind you the MMO niche wasn't as flooded as it is today with gurus and alike idiots). Time went on, nothing came out of it, until I was in school, talking with my friends and one of them had an older brother selling steam (gaming niche essentially for those who don't know) accounts and that intrigued me, went back home and... Researched, researched, researched. Found out a small gaming forum (in my country, because the overall saturation in the niche for english speaking countries was pretty hefty) where I could sell these accounts upfront, since most of the members where from my city and close vicinity. What I essentially did was "dropshipping" even before knowing what the word is : I set up a small banner ad using photoshop, very basic and posted it inside the group Wrote a very bad overall sales page but it got the job done (because I didn't have the money to front the cost of the accounts upfront, I basically had a "CTA" along the lines of for more info dm me) Post got around 300 views or something like that I can't remember exactly I got 10-20 dm's of people asking how much is an account with CS:GO, COD and what not Really got into it with one guy and our convo ended by us setting up a "meeting" in my school during lunch break (he was older then me, and he paid me what equates to $12 for the account with his games) *had to backtrack. I already knew what account with games he wanted from our convo and checked with my friend's brother if he had it but I asked him in a way where I positioned myself as the buyer, which I "was"*
