What if “rest” was the new status symbol? 🤔

Imagine that… You show off how much sleep you got as if it’s your new Lambo. Your insta feed is full of posts of how well you napped. A reel of you reading a book goes viral. You even become a sleep influencer. Posts about quality conversations you have with…

Imagine this: You’re walking around town with a stethoscope around your neck. Boom: Instant social status upgrade. Way more than any gold chain. The ultimate bling is this stethoscope thing. Hanging around your neck oh-so casually, like a scarf but a metal one that says, “Hey, I know what I’m…

Solve perfectionism with this mindset (nerdy but effective)

“When will I know I’ve MADE IT?” I yelled to my career coach. This was a few years ago. I was frustrated and angsty after months of trying to advance my career, with roadblocks along the way. “When will I know I’ve gotten there?” I followed up, desperately. (I just…
