We're Taking a Short Break
And what that means for you.
Good morning, By Little community member:
Thamarrah and Courtney here with a few things to share. First, if you or a loved one is affected in any way by what’s going on in the Middle East right now, our hearts and thoughts are with you. This is a terrifying, devastating time for the world.
Second, a lot is happening personally and professionally for both of us, and we’ll need to take a short By Little break so we can attend to all of it.
We’ll be back with a brand new podcast episode for you next month. Until then, we’re pausing all paid subscribers’ billing cycles.
If you need to catch up on what we’ve produced already, now’s a great time. We’ve learned so much over the past two months of production, including:
The people working to solve our nation’s complex problems are innovative, driven, and effecting real, positive change.
There are meaningful ways that you can help those people TODAY. Or whenever you’re ready :)
