Something big has happened since my last blog post! In December 2025, I transitioned from the World Building phase of business development to launching my business. Welcome to the Community Stories and Conversation Project (TCSCP)! We host the TCSCP (pronounced “Talk Soup”) Network, which is both a supportive collaboration hub for independent researchers and a one-stop shop for people looking to engage research services. This network represents a shift in the accessibility of research services and a space with great potential to empower and support individual researchers and small businesses. I could not be more proud!

The network launched with the help of our twenty founding members, ensuring from its onset that it has some of the best minds in the business coming together to collaborate in our changing field, and we have been gaining members and collecting requests for services since our launch. We offer a wide range of services, including:

 • surveys • data analysis • focus groups • program evaluation •

 • data dashboards and strategy • project management •

• social media analysis • spreadsheet assistance • participant recruitment •

• proposal assistance • translation, adaptation, and translation evaluation •

• employee and customer satisfaction • market research and strategy •

• web usability ui/ux studies •

• multilingual, multicultural, and multinational •

 • leadership, training, mentorship, and coaching •

Please take some time to stop by our website, learn more about the network, join or request services, support us at Buy Me a Coffee, or have a conversation with me about the network.

We have survived so much in the last several years. This effort is part of a new era of growth, like cherry blossoms bursting forth after a cold winter. This is something to believe in. Together we will help shape the future of the research industry!
