With the onslaught of news hitting us, what seems like every hour, there never seems to be a good time to take a hiatus from anything. And for those of us who reluctantly make our living as symbolic capitalists (Listen to [e74 with Musa al Gharbi](https://www.reyes-chow.com/podcast-e74-we-have-never-been-woke-a-conversation-with-musa-al-gharbi/)) in the public square, we sometimes trick ourselves into believing that our livelihoods demand us to be constantly plugged in and producing. Combine that with my Enneagram 3-ness and whew-boy, welcome to my daily spin-out, get nothing, while trying to do everything, but look pretty while doing it life.

Welcome to vocational, self-care, reflection, therapy, happy-hour with Bruce 😄

Phooey. I'm an adult-ish with agency. And deadlines. I am taking the rest of January off. So as to hit those deadlines at the end of the month, I will not be publishing any new content in the newsletter and will publish very little on the socials. Once I get those done, I can move on to other things, like our move, a wedding, and other projects I am eager to dive into.

So, other than podcast episodes that are already recorded and andy prescheduled posts, I will not be publishing anything else until February. I have already removed all the socials from my phone and bookmarks except for [BlueSky](https://bsky.app/profile/breyeschow.com?ref=reyes-chow.com) (I have to get my news somewhere), so if you want to stay connected, I'll be there.

If you need to get in touch with me about anything related to the podcast or my speaking arrangements, please email us at [theteamatreyeschowdotcom](mailto:theteam@reyes-chow.com).

See you in February!

Peace,

This newsletter is one way I contribute to the household so, for as little as $1/month, I hope a little extra access + other Paid Subscriber benefits will be worth it. That said, if $$ is an obstacle, here is a [complimentary six-month trial Paid Subscription](https://www.reyes-chow.com/six-month-complimentary) that you can cancel or renew at any time.
