Left Brain, Right Vibe 2025 Feedback Loop

Thank you for being a reader of Left Brain, Right Vibe.

As I look ahead to the coming year, I want to make sure this newsletter continues to be useful, thoughtful, and worth your time. This quick survey is a way for me to listen — to learn what’s working and could be clearer, more practical, or better aligned with what you need right now.

The survey is anonymous, and your responses are not tied to your identity. If you choose to leave an email address at the end for the $25 Amazon gift card drawing, it will not be connected to your feedback or used for any other purpose.

I’m genuinely looking for constructive feedback here — thoughtful, specific input (including what’s not working) is far more helpful than polite praise.

Timing note:
This 8-question survey should take less than 7 minutes to complete. Anyone who completes it by January 9 can enter to win a $25 Amazon gift card.

Thank you for helping shape what comes next.
