Hey all!

There’s this idea society feeds us: that every moment should come with one clear feeling.

• You had a baby? You should be glowing.

• You got the job? You should be grateful.

• Your parent passed away after months—years—of caretaking? You should be devastated.

But what if it’s not that simple?

What if you’re relieved and heartbroken?

Exhausted and proud?

Hopeful and terrified?

Lately, I’ve been deep in the and. I’m beyond proud of the work we’re doing at CORXLY.

And I’m tired in my bones. I’m so grateful for the community that’s grown around this project.

And I’ve had to make sacrifices that left me stretched and raw. I’m hopeful. And I’m scared.

It’s messy. It’s layered. It’s… very Inside Out 2 coded.

(Shoutout to Pixar for those emotional memory marbles. Apparently, the kids aren’t the only ones learning that every orb can hold joy and anxiety and “wtf is happening.”)

But you know what?

It’s in the and where the real work happens.

It’s in the complexity where we find empathy—for ourselves, and for others.

It’s what led me to build CORXLY in the first place.

Because the world doesn’t need more rigid systems that pretend we’re machines.

It needs tools that understand we’re human.

So here’s where we are:

We’re still building. Still listening. Still adjusting.

Our launch is close—but not quite here.

Give us just a couple more weeks, and (fingers crossed) our next email will include a call for beta testers to try the CORXLY app itself.

In the meantime—if you’re in NYC, come celebrate the and with us.

We’re throwing a soft (serve) launch to mark this moment.

No panels. No pitches. Just vibes, sprinkles, and people who get it.
