Email Body

Hi [First Name],

Thanks for being open about the counter. That's a real moment, and I want to support you in deciding what's right.

A few things worth weighing:

• Why you started exploring in the first place

• Whether the counter solves the root issue or just the comp gap

• Where you want to be 2–3 years from now

Happy to jump on a call if it would help. No pressure either way — I just want you to make the right call for you.

Best,

[Your Name]
