37 in Less Than 7 Days: Flexibility is a Flex

I will be 37 in 7 days. What am I learning? Mostly, I’ll never have it all figured out. After briefly being a flight attendant, my 9-year career in tech came to a pause. The position got eliminated, so I leaned heavily into pivoting. I will continue to lean into pivoting my entire life as…

Why Would I Try to Sell People Anything When Capitalism is Crumbling?

Over and over again, TikTok reminds me that I’m eligible for its monetization programs like TikTok Seller, TikTok Live, and whatever TikTok Service is.

Leaders Who Won’t Step Aside Are Holding Movements Back

Watching the new Red Lobster CEO excel at his job and also know how to accept feedback is amazing. As someone who voluntarily left corporate America and read that a lot of Gen Z and Millennials would rather work at a cash register than climb a corporate ladder, it doesn’t surprise me. Young people are…

America, The Great Disillusion

America has a gun problem but we would rather deport all of the people who weren’t born here. Most mass shootings happen by Americans but, statistics, science, this admin doesn’t care. 263 mass shootings have happened just this year. But the government wants us to look away because the right to bear arms, it’s in…
