I've got no professional goal 🤯
Goals, they're tricky, well at least for me...
I've never met a professional goal, ever. Even back in my coprate SMART goal days, they came and went. This week I was focusing on goal setting but quickly realized they were all focused on me as a person, not me as a professional. I was concerned at first but later realized, that's okay.

FAIL
- Focing goal setting.
Lesson
- You don't always need a goal.
Takeaways
- Be present. It's okay to not always have a goal for some futher thing.
- Forget goals, at least for a while and focus on yourself. Add in meditation or step away.
- Even the best thought out goals sometimes or in my case, always go unmet, so don't fret if you can't come up with one right now.
This week on Talks With SaraNoSocks
This week I sat down with Jerine Nicole, a RN by day and multi passionate creator by night. With a passion for writing, she built a template for online writers to easily keep track of their writing and analyze their data. A deep discussion on embracing your multi passions and how to set up a mindful plan to leave corporate while entering the creator economy.
​
Her insights on failure: "When you're struggling with something it could be because that's not who you want to be or to be online. Use being confused as a signal to what needs to be changed in the current situation or process that you are in."

After having to answer the same question over and over again on why I am looking to move into a full -time role right now, I revised an old blog post as my answer and shared it on Medium. TL;DR being solo just isn't for me in a lot of ways. This was a very vulnerable share for me, more transparent that I have been for the last two years, but helped lift a bit of the heaviness weighing me down I didn' t even realize was there. I'll be sharing more about my solo journey over the last three...
This week I've been reflecting on the job market and job hunting, which is not for the faint of heart. Every single person I've talked to on the job search across community, operations, design and product are struggling to get an interview even with network referrals, tailored resumes and a vast amount of knowledge and experience. I don't have an easy answer because I'm in the same boat. What I do know is that we all succeed by uplifting each other. If you're job hunting, you're not alone!...
Connection, online and off, has been my theme this week. Being an introvert it's easy for me to get in a pattern of just hiding away but after a soild 6 months of slowly going into my 'cave', this week I was back out in full force. Video calls with friends from around the globe, in person meetups with friends, and general connection on the socials has brought a renewed sense of energy and alignment.
