This episode is different. For the first time, I'm sharing my personal story—the journey that explains everything about who I am and why I'm making a big change.

I've always been a private person on the podcast, but to explain this new chapter, I want to share the full context. I talk about being forced to leave school at 14, finding English as my lifeline, and building a career in Educational Technology.

I also get transparent about the realities of operating a global brand from Lebanon, and how that has led me to a new, exciting, and more sustainable direction.

In this episode, you will hear about:

My personal journey and why "English" has always had a "Plus."

My decision to return to my professional field of Educational Technology.

The great consolidation: English Plus is becoming my single, unified passion project for all my writing, music, and creative ideas.

My core identity as a writer and how this new structure will honor it.

An honest look at the challenges for creators in Lebanon and why your support is so crucial.

As I explained in the episode, I'm committed to keeping all this content free. However, because I live in Lebanon, I have no access to PayPal or Stripe.

My Patreon page is the single, only possible way you can support this show and my work as a creator.

If you find value in my work and want to help me build this new chapter, please consider becoming a patron.
