While we can all wish productive procrastination was productive, it is, in fact, not.

It feels good in the moment—all that box-checking—but it might be stunting your long-term growth.

If your to-do list feels full but your progress feels flat, you might be masking, not moving.

Let me tell you what I mean. 👇🏽

If you needed permission to not be ok, consider this it.

No matter where you are—whether in your job search or pausing after a layoff—know you are seen, held, and cared for. 💞

If there’s one thing I know about staying sane during a job search, it’s this: you need a strategy.

And if your Google Calendar looks like a game of Tetris… 🧩 welllll, that’s not it.

Your week should work for you, not against you.

Here’s how to stay focused, creative, and sane during those long days of searching. 💫

It's Valentine's szn, bbs, which means love (and job interviews) is in the air. 💐

But before you go handing out a rose to that “perfect” opportunity, remember: red flags aren’t just for relationships.

Hear me when I tell you (from experience): the interview process is your chance to see if they’re as good a fit for you as you are for them. This is a two-way decision-making street!

Here are the signs your next job might not be “the one.” 🚩

When I talk about networking with all of my clients, I always say, "Focus on community."

Let me tell you what I mean... 👇🏽

Let’s be real: the robots 🤖 aren’t taking your job. BUT....

According to hiring decision-makers, the person who knows how to use them just might.

(Ohp! 😳 That's a 2026 plot twist.)

Getting comfortable with AI isn't about coding it or being lazy with your work. It's about adaptability, curiosity, fluency, and knowing how to use it thoughtfully and ethically.

And it is a wiz at conflict resolution (but that's a story for another day).

Here’s why knowing how to collaborate with tech is the new career advantage.

Sometimes, we’re so focused on arriving that we forget to stick the landing, 🤸🏽‍♀️ especially in a new role.

My toxic trait? Trying to dazzle everyone in week one, only to realize I’ve left the room spinning while I sprint ahead. 😵‍💫 (Recovering overachievers, can you relate?)

Turns out, the real win isn’t day one, it’s day 90.

Here’s how to pace yourself, find your rhythm, and actually land strong in your first three months of a new gig. 👊🏽

If you’re in the messy middle of a job search, you already know, this whole process is wildly subjective.

The same résumé can land you an interview with one company and radio silence from another.

It’s not just about your skills; it’s about timing, fit, and who’s reading your story that day.

That’s why I want to hear from you if you’re navigating the ups, downs, and in-betweens of a job search. We learn best when we learn together!

And if you’re ready to stop just talking about it and actually start making strategic moves in your search, join me in Own Your Search, my self-paced digital course packed with everything I’ve learned coaching hundreds of professionals to land aligned roles.

According to Gallup, only 21% of employees worldwide say they’re engaged at work.

That means nearly 8 out of 10 people are… not. 🫠

With that kind of workplace angst, it’s no wonder so many are rethinking what’s next.

The truth is, there’s more than one right way to navigate a transition — it just depends on the kind of support you want right now.

If you’re looking for a thought partner to help you make sense of the transition, clarify your next move, and position yourself with intention, I've got you with 1:1 Clarity Coaching.

In 2012, my grandma passed away. It wasn't sudden, but it was a huge loss for me and for our family.

I'll save the long story for another day, but that event changed the trajectory of my career and reframed how I think about the importance of the time I spend at (and on) work.

Fast forward 13 years, and I was reminded again why being present matters most.

Turns out, there are some titles that no promotion can beat, and this one might just be my favorite. 💞

If you’re still refreshing your inbox, hoping a recruiter magically appears, Bestie, close that tab.

Because the women actually landing jobs? They’re playing chess, not checkers. ♟️

They're creating their luck with confidence. With strategy. With killer playlists. (Honestly, my Discover Weekly has been on point lately.)

Here are 9 things they do differently when job hunting, and how you can steal their moves. 💃🏽

It's time for you to get it, Gurl. 💋

Woof. Are we all back?

Barely holding on after the weird limbo that is the week between Christmas and New Year?

Where time doesn’t exist, meals are 80% cheese, and somehow you’re watching Friends reruns like it’s 1999 again? 🧀📺

Yeah… it’s been real. But it’s time to get back in the saddle.

This year, instead of making (and breaking) resolutions (Here's looking at you, banjo I haven’t played since 2018), I’m opting for something better: 2026 is the year of reputation management. 👀

If your game plan is just “show up and hope for the best,” it might be time for a rebrand. 😏

Because your personal brand already exists, and like it or not, you are the algorithm.

Here’s how to build one that actually works for you this year. ⚡️
