🌐 COMMUNITY NOTES 🌐

• This Wednesday in the #coaches-corner, we’ll be talking with certified coach Jess Ringgenberg about negativity bias and the slippery slope of all-or-nothing thinking. Hope to see you there! (Wednesdays at 11AM CT through April!)

• And then NEXT Wednesday, April 10, #coaches-corner is opening up to the public for a Q&A/mini coaching session. Registrants get a special membership gift. 👀 Register here.

• Speaking of which, let me know what you think about coaching in this brief survey. Responses will inform if/how I scale up the coaching feature, so… help me build what you want to see! 🤲

💗 PULSE CHECK 💗

Last week I asked if folks would like to see member profiles here in the newsletter. The overwhelming response was “yes,” so I’ll start that up next week. (Any takers??)
