Hi, and thanks for stopping by 🙂

I (Miles) have decided to put The Life Sucks Coach on pause for a few months so I can put all my time and energy into my other passion: watching and talking about TV (including but definitely not limited to how TV can help us cope).

This is not a totally random change.

As The Life Sucks Coach, I was already working on a guide that used TV to help people cope with hard times.

But it was only one of many offerings, the rest of which had nothing to do with TV.

The more I kept trying to create my other products and offerings, though, the more I found myself wanting to combine those with TV as well.

So much so that I started to think that the pull TV was having on me was something I should listen to, and pursue, while I still have the freedom and privilege to be able to do so (some big life changes coming up will make it much harder).

So, instead of trying to fit TV into everything I create at The Life Sucks Coach, I’ve decided to step away from TLSC for a bit to focus solely on TV content — including self-help and mental health content — and see what happens.

The main purpose of Miles Watches TV will be enjoyment (for me) and giving myself permission to completely nerd out on television — sharing anything from lighter observations and fun facts all the way to deep dives and serious analysis, with an emphasis on viewing things through a queer and intersectional lens.

But my long-term goal is to keep creating even more tools and resources that use TV to help people cope, till I eventually have a whole library of TV-centric guides, workshops, courses, and more that I’ll offer alongside this project.

I do intend to keep working on The Life Sucks Coach once I’ve had time to feel out whether MWTV will get traction, and see if it will keep feeling good and exciting to work on!

But for now I am excited to have a place where I can go all-in on TV without feeling like it has to be only one tiny sliver of the other work I’m doing, or feeling like it might be too out-of-place alongside everything else.

Eventually, I hope to offer both side by side: TLSC for non-TV-related coping tools and resources, and MWTV for the TV-centric ones.

In the meantime, if you want to get updated about when The Life Sucks Coach is back up and running, you can sign up for my mailing list and/or follow The Life Sucks Coach on Substack, and if you’re interested in following along on my TV watching journey, you can subscribe to Miles Watches TV/Binge Watching at the End of the World on Substack too!

* Finally, if you’re going through something hard right now and you’re here because you were looking for support, don’t worry — you can still reach out to me and we can figure out options together 🙂

In the meantime, happy watching, and take care —

Miles
