Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm writing this post with a heavy heart but also with clarity about what I need to do right now. Due to some significant personal challenges I'm facing - specifically some strain in my marriage that requires my full attention and care - I need to temporarily pause this community. My family is my foundation, and I need to invest the time and energy necessary to work through this chapter with my spouse. ## What This Means for Our Community **The good news:** Nothing is lost! Here's exactly what will happen: ✅ **All your content is preserved** - Every post, comment, and interaction stays exactly as it is ✅ **Your membership is maintained** - All member data and profiles remain intact ✅ **Classroom content stays** - All courses and materials will be there when we return ✅ **No data loss** - Everything we've built together is safely archived The Process Starting July 18th, I'll be using Skool's "Cancel and Archive" feature, which means: - The community will be temporarily inactive - No one will be charged during this period, as we don't have anyone paying in this group to be a part of this community - All our content and member information is preserved - When I reactivate, everything returns exactly as it was Staying Connected While the community is paused, I'll send periodic email updates to let you know how things are progressing. I'm not disappearing - I'm just redirecting my focus where it's needed most right now. When We'll Return I don't have an exact timeline yet, as these things take the time they take. But I'm committed to this community and to each of you. When the time is right and I can give you the attention and energy you deserve, we'll be back stronger than ever. Thank You Thank you for understanding and for being the kind of community that supports life's real priorities. Your support means everything, and I can't wait to reconnect with all of you when the timing is right. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Hey Chi fam! 🎉 We just hit another milestone together, and I could scream-bark from excitement! Our SECOND-ever official The Chihuahua Way T-Shirt is LIVE, and this one is all about that legendary phrase that says it ALL: “SMALL DOG, BIG ATTITUDE” 😤🐕 But here’s the wild part…We didn’t just have one winning design. We had a THREE-WAY TIE! 🫣 That’s right—three designs were battling it out, and y’all made it impossible to pick just one. So we’re giving you ALL THREE! Each design is bold. Badass. Totally Chi-approved. 💅And yes… they’re only available for 7 days. Then? Poof. Gone forever. 🕒 👕 Go grab the one that matches your pup’s vibe (or hey, snag all three and rotate ‘em like your Chi’s moods 😉) 🛒 Order here now!
