Hello friends of RallyRoom!

Today is a sweet day for me and I want to share that sweetness with all of you!

RallyRoom on Pause

I've made the decision to put RallyRoom on pause for the time being. Over the past few months, it's become clear to me that the energy that I had when I started RallyRoom isn't as present lately. It's important to me to put my energy in places where I can be making the greatest contribution to my community, and right now RallyRoom isn't one of those places. I've learned so much about startups, design, planning, activists, and myself during this process. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who shared their time in interviews, offered encouragement, and gave their input on the process. If I feel called to pick this project and put energy into again, I have tons of notes, planning documents, and prototypes to make that possible.

While I feel a bit of sadness in setting aside this adventure with RallyRoom, it also means that there is space in my life to adventure in other ways. And adventure I will!

My next chapter: Becoming a Life Coach

It's my joy to share that I am beginning training to become a certified life coach. Life coaching is a tool for receiving support on the things in life that are most important to us: spending our time in joyous ways, having beautiful relationships, living with enjoyment, having clarity with our money, and so much more. Life Coaching has brought clarity, joy, and balance into my life in a way that I didn't think was possible before I started receiving coaching two years ago. I'm called to this path so I can share that brightness with the people I will be coaching. Over the next year, I'll be continuing the training I've already begun, taking on coaching clients, and learning all about how to start my own coaching practice.

It's going to be a blast with plenty of ups and downs! If you'd like to stay engaged and want to keep an eye on my journey down this coaching road, jot your email down here.

If you'd like to know more about what coaching has to offer, let me know here and we can chat over email.

I want to share my deep gratitude with each of you! Your support and companionship on this journey has made it a bright one. I hope to dance with you in whatever ways our paths cross in the future.

Please email me with any thoughts, reflections, questions, or encouragement you have. blanchard.jeremy@gmail.com
