So Long 7 Cups....A Message from Laura
Hello 7 Cups,
After 5 plus years in my role, I have decided to step back from my role. It has been an absolute pleasure working with each of you and building this incredible community together. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together. I have been humbled by the opportunity to work at 7 Cups and with our community time and again. I know 7 Cups will flourish well into the future. Thank you for being on this journey with me.
My last day is Friday, October 18th.
Please come say goodbye at the following times this week:
----> Thursday, October 17 at 4PM ET
----> Friday, October 18 at 3PM ET
I will be present in both teen and adult rooms! Please meet in Laura's Office!
After this time, I will still retain my 7 Cups listener account, but will be less available. If youd like to stay in touch beyond 7 Cups, please reach out and I can share my non-7 cups email.
Thank you for being my cheerleader and teaching me so much about myself, community management, the internet, love, support, and human nature. I have greatly enjoyed our time together and look back on it fondly. This is very bittersweet.
With Gratitude,
Laura
But what will happen with the community team structure after I leave?
PS - Id love to hear from all of you. Please share a memory of working with me or sharing in community with me. This will make me smile as I say goodbye.
@Laura thanks for everything you have done to help everyone, I hope you do great things and have lots of fun. Tc good luck in your new adventures. Much love.
It makes me stressed to discover that such a 7Cups leader as @Laura is, is stepping away for the site: maybe the site is not good for her? Maybe a site that I think helps so much to ohers and myself, is not good at all for us? I am realy frightened...
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
Hey there! She is not leaving because of anything bad. It's understandable to feel scared when someone we look up to and rely on is leaving, but I promise it will be okay <3 you can pm me if you need to talk about it
@MonBon
You are really wonderful
I am PMing you about this right now

Thank you so much Laura for everything you've done! We've been together since the beginning :) I hope you have lots of fun in your new adventures!
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours Laura. We haven't had a lot of contact during the time i've been here but what we have had I've found you very helpful and supportive.
good luck

@Laura So many amazing memories, I guess everyone has to move on one day but this is truely a shock. Though I know you will continue to achieve great things ! Thank you for everything you have done for the community but also a huge thank you for enabling me to grow in so many ways.
@fluffyUnicorns84 WOW Laura! I wish you the best of luck on whatever comes next for you! You've provided so much support to so many people so thank you for all your help!
(I have turned my profile black to signify the way I feel about this and will keep it untill you go...it may seem exagerated but it is my way of dealing with post partum...)
@feelitinyourbones
(erata: meant more like separation anxiety, post partum means smth else😉, sorry, but taken literally it simply means past separation so...)

@Laura Sorry to see you go! Where do I reach out and ask for your non 7 Cups email? May I ask for it here?
