Absolutely cannot relate to all these posts about how no one is actually working this close to the holidays. . . CANNOT RELATE

Zero Waste & 100% Taste is my new favorite saying 😋

I always wanted to be one of those adults who’d come home at the end of the day, pour themselves a glass of wine, and relaxes on the couch. I finally got to do this yesterday! The key was to leave an open bottle of wine from the weekend on the counter for easy access. 🍷

Reconfiguring my product offerings for my budding coaching business for transitioning academics! I am thinking about a retainer package where we do weekly sessions for a set amount of time. I feel like this would work better than only offering single 1-hr sessions. Thoughts?

Anyone have ice cube mold recs? Like nice ones (to gift) that make 2” ice cubes 🧊🎁

Literally canceling a subscription service because FedEx is being ridiculous and impossible. Bad service not only hurts you, it hurts other businesses that work with you too.

Most people need encouragement more than they need advice.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Getting back into reading for pleasure after my PhD was surprisingly difficult.

I was trained to read to extract info, so reading anything other than academic work felt like a waste of time.

If you’re feeling the same, know that it’s ok to read about fairies and dragons if that’s what you want!🧚🏻‍♀️

Back to ashtanga yoga🧘🏻‍♀️ tonight after a 3-week break (membership lapse + lingering cold 🤧)

I had no expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised by the progress my body pulled off on my sirsasana! I think I am pretty close to getting my legs straight!

Gotta love these types of surprises 🥹💛

Oooh thanks for the tip!

I can’t wait to see it!

Ah I still need to! Was it amazing?! 🧙🏻‍♀️

What if we decided Tuesday and Wednesday are also weekends? Because not working today sounds fantastic

Agreed! I am currently in market research after getting my degree in consumer behavior 🙌🙌

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

I absolutely understand this situation! Leveraging LinkedIn helps. I also reached out to friends who work outside of the academy for pro bono opportunities just so I’d have “real world” research experience to talk about in my job interviews. You could also reach out to non-profits in your area!

I was in that same boat! I did not like teaching 🤨🤨

what small businesses are we all supporting today?!

personally i am a litttttle disappointed that my local yoga studio isn't doing anything for BF/SBS but i will support them regardless 😆

I hate Arizona and specifically the Phoenix metro area. Feel free to ask me why.
