Checking in 💛

Friends,

Endings can be new beginnings. That’s a core truth we’ve had to live out this week, isn’t it? We’re grateful you’re here, and grateful we get to do this season together.

If you missed our announcement earlier this week, you can go here to read it in full. We shared the news that the 2027 PowerSheets collection will be the final one for our team, and that we will be sunsetting Cultivate What Matters as a business in early 2027. We hope you take a few minutes to read it, if you haven’t already.

For the last few days, we’ve been listening. We’ve had months to wrap our arms and hearts around this news, and we hoped to lend you a bit of our perspective as you took it in. We’ve been grateful for your outpouring of love, trust, and generosity. 

We’ve also received your shock and sadness. We understand — we’ve felt those things, too. As we’ve learned to do with so many other emotions while tending to a full and varied life, we are capable of holding both: the shock and the acceptance, the surprise and the gratitude, the sadness and the hope.

Through it all, our commitment has remained the same: to walk alongside you for the rest of this year with joy, gratitude, and expectation as we prepare for an intentional 2027 (and beyond!) together. 

While there is a dedicated landing page with a full set of FAQ’s right here, we wanted to share a few of them on the blog, as well. We’re also sharing what we have to look forward to over the next few months — because there’s a lot to look forward to!

FAQ’s about Cultivate What Matters' Business Sunset

Why are you closing Cultivate What Matters?

This was such a difficult decision, but it was also a business decision. While we wanted Cultivate to transcend the norms of corporate culture, every organization needs to meet basic financial necessities to keep the doors open. It became obvious within the past year that this would no longer be feasible long-term and we wanted to close the doors well. We believe this final PowerSheets collection is a fitting epilogue to our story with you.

Did you try to sell to another company or owner to continue the legacy of Cultivate?

Yes. We did pursue multiple interested parties throughout the past several months but none of these efforts were able to move forward. Serious offers to acquire the business can be made to: hello@cultivatewhatmatters.com. 

Is this my last opportunity to purchase the PowerSheets goal planner?

The collection launching on September 15, 2026 will be your last opportunity to purchase PowerSheets in their current form. While we may incorporate elements of PowerSheets and our goal-setting philosophy into future tools we produce through our sister company, The Daily Grace Co., these are the last PowerSheets that will be produced. 

Good news — this collection is undated! We gratefully invite you to stock up on as many planners as you’d like to last for years to come. As always, your purchase will include access to a series of PowerSheets Prep videos on YouTube to accompany you as you complete your Prep Work.

What will be different about this year’s PowerSheets?

The biggest difference is that this year’s PowerSheets are undated. They still have monthly Tending Lists, a monthly calendar, and monthly tabs, but all these are undated. We have also removed references to the website and any specific year so that they can be useful for years to come. Otherwise, they are the same PowerSheets you know and love, with the same powerful vision-setting and goal-achieving exercises we’ve honed over the years.

Will you offer a digital version of PowerSheets?

We’ve heard this request from quite a few of you, and we really appreciate you sharing it with us. While a digital version wasn’t part of our original plans, we’re taking your feedback to consider whether it might be possible. We don’t have any decisions or details to share at this point, but we’re grateful you’re letting us know what would serve you best.

Will there be new accessories this year?

We are not launching any new accessories with this collection. Happily, the 2027 planners mix and match beautifully with our existing accessories, including sticker books, pouches, Brain Dump journals, and more.

What about Write the Word journals?

We are grateful to say that Write the Word journals have continued to meet a need and find new homes around the world. We plan to offer them in the future through our sister brand, The Daily Grace Co. Future volumes may differ in content, theme, and design, however, so if you love the current version, we encourage you to stock up now! As volumes sell out they will not be restocked. 

What about all the other Cultivate products?

Now is your time to stock up on what you love! While we may reimagine and release some products through Daily Grace, this is the final opportunity to buy Cultivate tools in their current form.

When are you officially closing your doors?

The last day to purchase items will be January 31, 2027 when we will officially close our doors.

Will you still publish blog posts and hang around on social media?

Yes! We will be active on the blog through December 31, 2026 and on social media through January 31, 2027. We want to lead you well into the new year! 

At that point, we will share our final goodbyes and stop producing new content. Our website will also transition to a legacy landing page at the end of January, so feel free to save any blog posts you’d like to reference before then. 

Mostly, the legacy and message of Cultivate will live on through our published books, our final tools, and through you. 

What if I have a customer service need?

We want to serve you well! As always, please email hello@cultivatewhatmatters.com if we can be of help. Our team will be available to answer customer service questions through December 2027.

Are you taking down all of your social media content when Cultivate closes?

For now, we plan to keep as much content available as possible through free channels such as Instagram and YouTube.

How can I best support Cultivate as you sunset?

That is such a kind question — thank you! We humbly ask for your prayers as we seek to do this well. We would be honored if you chose to share about or purchase from our final collection. Our hope is that this community will remain vibrant as we say farewell, equipped to live out what matters long after our doors close.

Here’s what else we have to look forward to:

We’re so looking forward to one more chance to prepare for the year ahead, together! Here are a few dates to mark on your planner:

August 18: PowerSheets® Cover Reveal
September 15: PowerSheets® Collection Launch Day!
December 7—11: PowerSheets Prep Week

Endings can be new beginnings. Sometimes we get to choose the endings, and sometimes they’re thrust upon us — but always, we get to choose how to walk them out. We’re grateful we get to walk this one out with you.

With gratitude,
Team Cultivate
