Here’s the most overlooked (and easiest) path to the change you want

Do you want to make some changes in your work but you don’t know how?

Or maybe there’s just a vague feeling of dissatisfaction or […]

Thinking of quitting?

“I want to leave my job to do something more meaningful, but I’m scared to make the change.” Are you feeling drawn to some big life change too?

Has a text message ever ruined your day?

Have you ever been at work and received a text from a friend or partner that derailed you for the rest of your work day? Chances are, it’s not a huge conflict. Maybe you’re just feeling a little disconnected – from your partner, or your mom, or your housemate – and you find yourself worrying […]

Should I protest tonight?

“I really want to be out in the streets but I also need to care for my family.” Are you feeling that tension too? I’ve heard that from many of the white people I work with recently. It can take courage to even NAME that tension, especially if you’re someone who’s cared about and been […]

Lonely? Try this.

Who are you missing? Who do you wish you could wrap your arms around and share laughter and food with? In my case, I was going to celebrate Passover with my parents for the first time in years. It can be confusing to feel so much loss and longing when you’re also present to all […]
