Beloveds,
I’m sitting here feeling more seen, held, and supported than I ever imagined. Thanks to you, we’ve reached 22% of my goal to fund the final stage of my master’s degree and publish Cognitive Ecology: Mapping Your Mind For Self Understanding.
Every single offering—every dollar, every share, every kind word—has been like a beam of light in the undergrowth. I see you. I feel you. I’m so thankful. This isn’t a project I’m building alone—it’s being written with and for all of you who have touched this path.
💌 Some of your comments have moved me to tears:
“Sher, your work is making me a better coach 💕💕🌈🌈🌈”
“Your presence on Threads is life-giving. Thank you.”
“Asking and answering all the right questions with the humane-ness we yearn for.”
“So thrilled to help support you and your work.”
“You’ve really helped me… I was just about to ask when your book was coming out.”
That first one? That’s the icing on the cake.
This is why I do this work.
So we can support one another better.
So we can see each other more clearly.
So we can build tools that honor the truth of who we are—not just who we’ve been trained to be.
This book is not a self-help manual. It’s a self-recognition map.
It’s a practice of reweaving—ourselves, our communities, our collective sense of what’s possible.
🌿 If you’ve supported already: thank you from the bottom of my wild little heart.
🌿 If you feel moved to join this ecosystem—whether through a tip, a share, or a few kind words—you can support the book and my graduation goal here:
We’re doing this together.
And it’s working.
With wild gratitude,
Sher
