Oh, hey! It's my turn. 😏

I hope you enjoy this one. I put a lot of 💗 into these episodes, especially this one. ✨

If you enjoy it (and I hope you will!), share with your maker pals! Appreciate you. xoxo -Jen

At least I got a “weet wooooo” of approval when he saw it. And his human friend (aka person that keeps the children from climbing on him) said it was the best one they’ve seen. ☺️

When you get to meet R2-D2 and don’t even pose correctly to show off your R2-D2 tattoo 🥲

We’re going to land.
Maybe not on the timeline we imagined.
But we will...and when we do, the team that hires us will be wondering how they ever got by without us. 🙂

To my fellow creative, strategic, big-hearted friends: you’ve got this.
The right thing is out there, even if it’s taking longer than it ever has before.

If you’re up for it, share how you’re feeling or something good, no matter how small. We could all use a little more real and a little more hope.

✨ You're not your resume.
✨ You're not the interviews you didn’t get.
✨ You're still talented. Still worthy. Still building something important.

LinkedIn can be both a source of hope & a heavy reminder of how many brilliant, talented people are also in the thick of it.
Feeling it too? You’re not alone.

Over the last 15 yrs, 4/5 of my roles came from being asked to join a team. (Not a humble brag—just part of the complex swirl of feelings that come w/ this season.)
When you’re used to being tapped on the shoulder, actively applying can feel strange. Vulnerable. A little like shouting into the void.

Job hunting is a lot. (A thread)

Some days feel wide open and full of possibility.
Other days hit harder—like every “not this time” email shows up at once.
(These two experiences are perfectly represented in the photos I’m sharing here… lol.)

My creative process?
1- Make myself laugh.
2- Share it.
