Sending a big hug your way, Shannon. I've always said that Medium shouldn't be the only card in your deck . For me, it's a very tiny slice of my income (as you know). I do think there are ways you can continue to leverage Medium to amplify your writing and your message without the kind of pressure you were under for the last several years. You have a large, loyal audience here and we're rooting for you. I'm very glad that you're taking a step back and slowing down production (as it were). Churning out content day and night - whether that translates to good money or not - is a fast road to burnout.
