Summary
First, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year! We hope your year started out smooth and steady and that 2026 behaves, but y'all's president is already cutting up, so it's giving the ghetto again.
We also want to remind you that we are hosting 1 of 2 ATWC Community Calls TOMORROW, Saturday, 11am EST! We want and honestly NEED to hear directly from you, so we’re hosting a live call and inviting listeners to join us for an honest conversation about the future of the podcast.
We’ll be talking about the kinds of content you want more of, what’s resonating (or not), and how we can make the show more sustainable for us as hosts so we can keep showing up and growing with intention.
If you’ve ever had thoughts, ideas, or feedback you wanted to share, this is the time and space to do just that. Your voice truly matters to us.
We hope you’ll join us.

| 1:03.7 | It has plateaued in a way. |
| 1:05.6 | So we need to hear from you. |

| 1:14.7 | what topics are most important to you, how to make Patreon better, what you look forward to each |
| 1:23.8 | and every week. Are we giving you too much content? |
| 1:28.9 | Do we need to reel it in? |
| 1:29.9 | Et cetera, et cetera. |
