Close Friends

Hi all! 

Thank you so much for coming along with me on this journey, and I hope the content has been clear and helpful so far. As mentioned on the benefits list for your subscription, being a patron also gets you access to my Close Friends list on Instagram. Close Friends allows you to see my private story posts on my account @CarlJungMemes. I'll be posting unpolished reflections, short personal stories, ideas with which I'm currently grappling, and... really whatever seems worth sharing in the moment. Due to the size of my platform and the content I cover (especially in the realm of mental health), I try not to publicly post unless I feel I've found the most responsible verbiage possible and am sure about what I'm saying. My vision for Close Friends is that it can act as a bit of a workshop space for some of this content. It also makes it easier to reach me on Instagram, if that's your primary connection to me. 

In order to join the Close Friends list, all I need is for you to send me your Instagram handle (if you haven't already). The easiest way to do that is to post it below or privately DM me here on Patreon (please not on instagram!!!), whichever feels more comfortable. 

If you are already on my Close Friends: Unless I know you in real life, I'm going to ask that you still send me your handle! Over the coming days I'm going to be doing a little bit of ~audience management~ and I don't want to accidentally remove your account. It also helps me recognize you as a Patreon subscriber. 

If you don't use Instagram or rarely check it: Don't worry! Close Friends is meant as just an additional way to interact. You don't need to engage with it to stay caught up with anything I'm posting on Patreon. It's more of a public journal, and the best insights will find their way over here in some form anyway. 

Finally... we're very close to reaching our goal of 100 subscribers! Once we get there I'll be posting the reading list. I literally get giddy every time I see one of you repost something about the pod, and I hope you'll consider sharing this with anyone you think might find it helpful. 

:)
