So excited to have C+C move to substack! It's already been easier to connect with other writer friends and have their word easily accessible. If I'm already a patreon subscriber, will my membership automatically be applied towards the paid C+C substack? If not, will we get an email letting us know what we need to do? Thanks!

So happy you're here, Alyssa! We put up a post in Patreon today with more details on moving from Patreon to Substack but the short answer is: this is not an automated process (sadly!). We have one more post in Patreon scheduled for next week if you want to hang around for that, and then the best course forward is to cancel Patreon and sign up here 😉 We're thankful for your support!!

Excited to try out substack! I've heard of it but never stopped by before.

And thank you for the clear instructions on the transfer -- all set to roll.

Thank you for being a community of friends in my earbuds and allowing me to remember that my motherhood chaos is not singular or unseen!

Ashlee and team, I want you to know I switched my subscription to Substack and upped my giving to C+C and this is why: I believe in you. Not in a weird, idolizing kind of way, but because every decision you have made in leading this company--especially the ones that may have felt awkward or scary for you or your team at times--has been so transparent and felt so Spirit-led to me. I know I only see in part, but from my perspective, I continually see you choosing to follow the voice of the One who is behind you saying "this is the way, walk in it." You lead with vulnerability and faith and it's beautiful. It's something I want to be a part of. Thank you for leading by example! And thank you for continuing to produce encouraging, beautiful content that uplifts my spirit.

Megan 😭 You have no idea how divinely timed this message was, and how grateful I am to read it on this exact day, in this exact moment. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for specifically taking the time to encourage me in the leadership of this work ❤️ I am tears-in-my-eyes grateful. Much love to you!!

Oh my gosh this blesses me so much! I felt to impressed to write these words RIGHT NOW even though I've thought them for years now. Now I'm getting teary! SO thankful to encourage you with the truth you needed to hear.

P.S. I am a big believer that as Christians we do NOT need to do things the way the world says we should. Take all the wisdom you can from different styles and methods, but at the end of the day, do we serve a God who is real, or not? To me, you keep betting again and again that He IS, that He IS speaking, and that He WILL provide. One big way you show this to me is when you choose to pull back and rest instead of creating more content, promoting yourselves, more, etc etc. That inspires the heck out of me!!

Just got around to switching from Patreon to Substack and trying to get comfortable here. Where will we find new podcast episodes?

Welcome Stephanie. Thank you for supporting our work here. A new podcast will be posted later this month. You'll find it right on the home page of our substack, but you'll also get an email telling you when it's available.

What a wonderful idea! I had on my calendar that open submissions for writing began this week but when I checked the website, it said submissions were closed. How do we submit articles for 2023? Thanks :) I think I'm also on a waiting list for Exhale, could you check on that?

I have been a lover and supporter of Coffee + Crumbs for years and can't imagine my life without the beautiful stories that are told. I have been following Katie Blackburn on Substack and have enjoyed the new platform so far. I am looking forward to the slower process of devouring the stories and essays and can't imagine not having this art in my life. Thank you to Ashlee and the team for creating and believing in this beautiful space for mothers.

Hi! Excited to join here 🤩 Just wondering if the podcast archives in Patreon will still be available somewhere once I updated my subscription to substack and cancel Patreon? Thank you 😌

Naomi, I believe once you download them, they are yours! When you cancel Patreon you lose access to that space, so if you want to keep the podcasts, just make sure you download them first ;)

Yay! I appreciate you always following your values, goals and heart as a business! *new to Substack, can you recommend others to subscribe to?

Expand full comment

Ooh intriguing. I need to find out more about substack, everyone has been talking about it!

Forgive me if I’ve missed something somewhere but will you continue to have exclusive podcast episodes like the ones for patroon to sub stack subscribers or will the podcast be just episodes for all?

Hi, Anna! Right now we're committed to bonus episodes through the end of season 8 (so March-July), and then TBD on season 9 😉 Bonus eps will be right here in Substack, starting up again in March when our regular podcast comes back (which will remain free and public, as it is now!).
