Wow, thank you for sharing this, Mendel. I love your mission, and I feel that we have something important in common: we are both trying to turn a deeply personal chapter of our lives into content that genuinely helps others—without allowing that chapter to define our entire identity. I currently have two YouTube channels. One is about two years old and has 56 subscribers. The other is a new channel I started only 14 days ago, focused on rebuilding your life after leaving a cult or high-control religion. I share my personal experiences, what I have learned, and ways people can begin reconnecting with themselves and rebuilding their lives. After 14 days and 10 videos, the new channel has reached 196 subscribers and 600+watch hours. My first video received 6,700 views, 260 likes, and 114 comments. I can see the potential, but the growth has also caused me to ask myself some deeper questions: Am I truly ready to lead this community? Do I want to become known primarily for this part of my life? I have been feeling a bit down for the past 14 days, and I feel that it is affecting my other business and how I show up ( I work in the wellness/healing industry) It is an important part of my story, but it is not the entirety of who I am. My original plan was to launch a Skool community once the channel reached 500 subscribers and 3,000 watch hours. I have considered creating both free and paid options, but I feel conflicted about charging people who may already be in pain. I never want anyone to feel that I am exploiting their experience or asking them to pay simply to feel supported. I already have an established business centered around healing the body, so I am comfortable charging for my expertise in that area. With this new channel and potential community, however, I am still discovering what I can responsibly offer and whether I am ready to step into that role. Your question about turning a personal story into something genuinely useful—rather than simply talking about yourself—really resonated with me. I believe both of us may discover the true direction of our channels through the process of creating, listening to our audiences, and noticing which parts of our stories serve a purpose beyond ourselves.

@Mouldi Nouri Thank you for your message. So I am coming back to my original question- what is your goal,,, do you have a course/ community that you bring from YouTube subscribers?

@Michał Kozicki Thanks for letting me know! How is it going with your funnel? I am new to this platform so I want to know more!
