Why We Haven’t Posted in a While (And Where to Find Us Now)

If you’ve landed here wondering why things have been quiet on the blog, you’re not alone. The short answer: we haven’t stopped posting—we’ve just shifted where the conversation is happening.

In this noisy, fast-moving digital world, sometimes the best move is to go where the conversation is already happening. That’s exactly what we’ve done.

We’ve moved most of our regular content to LinkedIn.

Not because this blog no longer matters (it does), but because more of you—strategic advisors, PR professionals, solopreneurs, and midlife high-performers—are finding us there. And more importantly, engaging there.

This shift is part of what I call The Influence Wave—understanding that influence isn’t about controlling the narrative anymore. It’s about showing up consistently, sharing real value, and letting your audience choose how and where they want to engage.

So we followed the wave.

That’s why our weekly newsletter, Pull Up Your Chair, now lives on LinkedIn. It’s where we unpack issues impacting behavioral health from the past week and where we lead three collaboratives of behavioral health and addiction providers.

But don’t worry—we’re not leaving this space behind.

This blog will remain our home base for deeper reflections, updates, and long-form thinking. Think of LinkedIn as the community table and this site as the private room to stretch out and dig into the nuances.

And here’s where The Ripple Effect comes in: by showing up where the dialogue is active, we’re not just sharing—we’re listening, learning, and adapting in real time. Every post, comment, and conversation creates a ripple that expands our collective understanding of what it means to lead with clarity, strategy, and integrity in the modern media landscape.

So if you’ve missed us here, join us there.

Follow the newsletter on LinkedIn. If you’re already connected, thank you for being part of this evolving, growing conversation.

Because this isn’t a one-way broadcast. It’s an open invitation.

Let’s start the conversation.
