FAQs

Thank you for 12 beautiful, transformative years. In case you missed it, please read Ashlee’s farewell letter here.

  •  How long will the content be available?

    • All of the essays on the Coffee + Crumbs website and all public podcast episodes will be available through December 31, 2027.

  • What is happening with the C+C substack? 

    • Payments will "pause" on Substack, indefinitely, beginning November 1st. 

    • On January 1, 2027, all content on Substack (including free posts) will be moved behind the paywall, until December 31, 2027 when it will be archived for good. 

    • If you are currently a paying subscriber, you will still have full access to everything on the Coffee + Crumbs Substack through the end of 2027 (including 40+ podcast episodes!). 

    • If you are currently a free subscriber, but would like access to the paid content, you can join our paid tier anytime before November 1st. After November 1st, we will not be accepting any payments or new paid subscribers. If you have Substack questions, please email Ashlee directly at hello@coffeeandcrumbs.net.

  • When is the last time I will be charged on Substack?

    • If you are a monthly paid subscriber, your last charge will go through in the month of October. If you are a yearly paid subscriber and are set to renew between now and November 1st, please email Ashlee at hello@coffeeandcrumbs.net so she can move you to a free plan (with paid access) before you are charged the yearly fee.

  • What is happening to Patreon? 

    • We have not used Patreon for several years, and our Patreon account is coming to a permanent close on December 31, 2026. All of that content will be archived.

  • I previously published a guest essay on C+C; can I re-publish it somewhere else? 

    • Absolutely! If you have ever published an essay on our website, this is a great time to make sure you have a copy of it saved elsewhere.

  • Where can I keep up with the writers? 

    • All of our writers are on some form of Substack and/or social media. Click here for an easy recap of where to follow them, subscribe to their work, or purchase their books!

  • Can I still purchase The Magic of Motherhood and You're In Good Company?

    • Yes! Our books are not going anywhere. Find them wherever books are sold.

  • Your work has meant so much to me. Can I send a farewell message to the team? 

    • 😭 Yes. If you'd like to send one last love letter to C+C, email hello@coffeeandcrumbs.net. Those messages will be compiled into one document and shared with the team. We are so grateful for your encouragement.

  • What is happening to Exhale? 

    • Exhale, in its current iteration, is also coming to a close at the end of 2026. All current members will have access to the entirety of the Creative Library through the end of 2027 (including resources, podcast, video replays, all of it). There is a transition plan in place for this community, tentatively set to launch in March of 2027. To get on the email list for that, sign up here.

  • When is the last time I'll be charged for my Exhale subscription?

    • If you are on a yearly subscription, you will be immediately moved to a free plan. If you are on a monthly subscription, your last charge will go through in October. On October 31st, all monthly members will be moved to a free plan. Exhale content, book clubs, blog hops, and events will continue through the end of the year, with our final event being the Reflect and Reset retreat in early January (date/time TBD).
