Any favorite films/shows/games you and Connor have introduced to each other? I just got my roommate to watch The Addams Family for the first time!

2020-10-30 04:30:58 +0000 UTCHi Cheyenne! I love your tea times, thanks so much for doing this! My questions are: 1. Do you feel you need to have a super large following to start a patreon? I have an Etsy that (I think?) is relatively steady, but my social media following is small. I want to start a sort of sticker club through Patreon, but do you think it’s worth it with a small following? I’m pretty scared it will flop! 2. What facet of your business are you most proud of/feel you’ve made the most growth with recently? Thanks so much again and thank you for being such a lovely human!

2020-10-29 21:21:25 +0000 UTCHi Cheyenne! I'm sorry, I accidentally deleted my original comment, BUT, the gist of what i said before is that you have been such a comforting, inspiring, joyful addition to my quarantine days, and I'm so happy to have recently found your videos and to be a new patron! Thank you for being you and for all of the beautiful work and authentic being that you share with us so consistently and so beautifully. You're such a joy! I have a some q's that turns out are very long! No presh whatsoever to read all of these if they are too thicc!- 1. As an artist who also struggles with mental illness and who spent my 20’s (recently turned 30) in a healing bubble that was totally necessary, but that has left me feeling "behind" my peers, I've realized I hold this belief that my mental illness will get in the way of my being able to fulfill my goals with a whole, rigorous heart and attitude. I've worried that my email anxiety, my missing important opps and info in emails in the past, and my unreliable ebbs and flows will ultimately keep me from having the organized, focused drive to make it happen for myself - ah! I know this is not true, and that you are a shining example to all of us that those of us struggling with these illnesses can live full, whole lives and fulfill our creative dreams! so my question is- did part of you ever feel like your mental illness would keep you from your goals? is there something that helped you out of this thought process? What has helped you to have courage to give yourself a permission slip to serve your art in the big way that you do? (PS, i am also a big magic evangelist (the best and probably obvi need to re-read!) 2. how do you organize the many irons you have on the fire? how do you keep track of all of the content you make and the schedules you have for all of your moving parts? 3. I am thinking about making my own patreon soon, but am a bit afraid of the commitment, and of possibly having to disappoint people (hello biggest fear) if ever i'm late/behind. how do you deal with all the content that comes here? how did you go about planning for it? 4. when you were first starting out on the internet, was there ever any shame/embarrassment about being "small?" if so, how did you keep the faith that the work you were putting in would help you grow your audience? How do you work through growing pains? Was this even a thought on your mind when you began your tumblr/youtube? 5. How do you trick yourself into showing up for your work when it's hard to and you don't feel like it at all? Do you have systems in place for bad brain days where work must get done regardless? Thank you for reading these long long questions if you have made it this far! Appreciate you endlessly, and wishing you and the whole fam are safe and comfy as can be. Kim
