Making Online Courses and Mastering YouTube (sort of…).
Just before COVID-19 swept across the globe, we embarked on an exciting new journey: recording online courses with the dream of mastering YouTube.
Our grand plan?
To amass a large following in the first half of 2020, and then embark on a six-month road trip, engaging our online community every step of the way.
We launched a brand-new YouTube channel and website, MindfulnessPlace.com, focusing on meditation, mindfulness, healing, and transformation.
We were on fire, filming five fresh video lessons each week and sharing them for free on YouTube.
We also produced several in-depth courses, available for purchase on our website, hoping these would fund our epic road adventure.
But just a couple of months in (this photo was taken in December 2019), COVID hit.
Our road trip dreams were shattered, and our community was in turmoil.
We knew we had to help.
In an effort to support our struggling students, we decided to make all our courses available for free.
The response was incredible – thousands joined us weekly, finding purpose and guidance in our lessons.
After six months and over 150 videos, we decided to step off the production treadmill and find peace in our own home in the middle of the chaos of the world.
It was an unforgettable experience, but we’ve since moved on, cherishing the journey and the connections we made.
