Hey y’all,

I’ve been struggling with how to word this: I don’t want to be so vague that it leads to inappropriate worry or misinterpretation, but I also need to do my best to respect someone’s privacy and not share too many details.

But a loved one (not me, my children, or partner) has been battling some big and scary health issues for a few years now. Things were relatively stable for a long time, but they’re not anymore. I have no idea what kind of a timeline we’re looking at, and hopefully you won’t hear anything else about this for months or even years, but things are just really uncertain and overwhelming right now. I’m having a hard time with it.

As always, I hope to continue making content for a long, long time, even if my output may be sporadic at times. I want to very transparent with y’all—more than any of my other viewers—because you have a more direct investment in my work than most people.

So that’s why I want to give you a heads up that I’m more uncertain than I usually am about what my production schedule might look like in upcoming months. I’d love to continue making videos regularly (because I love to do it, and it’s good for me) but that may not be possible at times.

I think many of you know that I have 3 (amazing) young children who are all in different places on the “special needs” spectrum—which is something that gets even more complex as they get older—and so I’ve been feeling very tired and sad and stretched thin lately. It’s been impossible to prioritize all my priorities. :)

None of this is meant as an “excuse” for not producing content, and I know I don’t need to justify things.

I also REALLY don’t want this to come across as a guilt trip for anyone if you need or want to cancel or reduce your Patreon support for literally any reason at all, at any time. Patreon funds are a BIG help in my life, but I’m resourceful, and I’ll be okay no matter what.

However I do want to be a bit vulnerable and share this insight into my life, because we *do* have a relationship—in its own, unique, internet-y way—and I don’t want any of you to ever feel as though I’m not immensely grateful for your generosity, support, and kindness.

I truly love making videos for you, and if my general output and/or Patreon interactions become sparse for stretches of time, I just really want you all to be assured that it’s not because I’ve forgotten about you or because I don’t care.

Sending lots of love,

Lola
