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 years and why it's just not for me over on Medium in the weeks to come. If you're a freelancer, consultant or solopreneurer, I'd love to hear your thoughts and how working alone has impacted you just hit reply or head over to share a response on Medium or LinkedIn.

Learn something newWe tend to get stuck in patterns and even when we think we're resting, we aren't. While learning a new thing might feel active, it uses different energy and brain power which in turn can give us more energy where we need it most. Take a course, watch a YouTube video, stop to draw, anything that can stretch you and break your pattern. |
Here's a resource for you...Each week I'll include a new resource to check out. Books, podcasts, tools, courses, communities, YouTube and more! |

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. I'm embracing my discomfort and stepping out of my introverted bubble to do the hard things as...
I've been reflecting this month on asking for help, specifically on how much I struggle with it. As much as I thrive on helping others, I have a terrible time asking for help myself. Over the years I've always let my own self doubt, anxiety and impostor syndrome stop me from asking anyone for help. This of course has carried over into my business and been a huge hinderance to consistency, growth and overall success. It's something I'm working on and don't have any quick and fast answers too...
