Two months ago, we had an incredible moment: CORXLY (then QuarkXly) officially launched at New York Tech Week. It was bold, it was exciting, and it was a chance to finally share with the world what we’ve been building: adaptive systems for modern minds.

And then…I hibernated.

Because if you’ve ever put your whole heart into something and then stepped on stage, you know the crash that follows. Socially, emotionally—it was a lot.

When I came back, the reality of an MVP hit hard. There were bugs (of course). Log-ins failed. Accounts got stuck. Workflows didn’t flow. And while I logically expected this—because no MVP is perfect—emotionally, it was brutal.

Especially for me. I’m a perfectionist. And CORXLY was made for people who don’t need more friction. The thought of a neurodivergent user trying our tool, hitting a wall, and walking away? That gutted me.

At the same time, life life’d. School let out. My kids weren’t in camp. My plate overflowed. And burnout crept in—the messy mix of exhaustion, self-doubt, and feeling like I was doing too many things badly instead of a few things well.

So here’s my truth: I had to pause.
Not forever, just long enough to breathe.

The beauty is—I’m back.

This summer I had the chance to speak at three incredible events (July, August, and September). Each one reminded me why I started CORXLY in the first place. They reignited my creativity. They gave me energy. And they sparked partnerships I can’t wait to grow.

So now, we begin again. Gently.

👉 CORXLY is available for testing.
We are in the messy, imperfect, exhilarating stage of building with our community. If you want to test, raise your hand. We’ll help you get set up.

👉 We’re also listening.
We’re running surveys and gathering data because the goal isn’t just to build what we think people need—it’s to build what you actually need.

👉 We’re taking it slow.
This is new for me. But it’s right. Because what we’re building isn’t just a product. It’s a movement toward systems that reduce cognitive load, protect our capacity, and make it easier to stay in the world without burning out.

If you’ve been curious, frustrated, patient, or cheering from the sidelines—thank you. We’re building CORXLY together. And I’d love for you to join us in this next chapter.
