Next week I’ll be resting, having released the trailer and first episode of Connecting the Dots with The Renaissance People. But for now, I’m still filled with the buzzing energy of being in launch mode! Today, I’m finishing my explanation of the categories I picked for my podcast to be listed under. Education aligned with

Something’s Coming…
This is getting REAL! I just changed my LinkedIn headline… I’m not going to write “there’s no going back”, because that’s not true. I could decide that building a community for Renaissance People is the wrong fit for me right now. Or life could start “life-ing” to hard again and I may need to hit

Canceled Because it’s about Equity for Women?!?
Infuriating is an excellent word to describe what is happening here and in so many other spaces.

Getting Back in Action
This week I finally sent out another newsletter, after taking 4 weeks off. Before that, I had a streak going of sending something out every 1 to 2 weeks. But I had been knocked out by a quadruple whammy of: I shared my challenges, not as a way to get my readers to feel sorry

Be Your Own Best Friend
I know that you show kindness and compassion for others. Here’s how you can do the same thing for yourself during the stress of job search. I’d like to introduce you to my dear friend, Sara Kobilka. Sara is a recovering perfectionist. She can still remember the day in her junior year of high school
