Welcome

Like so many things in life, the very thing I swore I’d never do, namely going to work in a corporate job, I ended up doing. And doing it with great gusto I might add.  I fell into my first, longest, and most toxic job out of college when I wasn’t sure what I wanted […]

Editor’s Note: I use the term highly sensitive souls as an umbrella for all who resonate with being a highly sensitive person, empath, intuitive, human design Projector or Reflector, combination of the above, or anyone who has a deep sensitive to the world around them, requires downtime to recharge, and is able to see things […]

Let me kick this off with a little rant on how we really need to start normalizing people spending the holidays solo. Alone.

Admittedly, I’m still learning about astrology so if my non-expert status is a no-go for you, feel free to click off this post and thanks for stopping by! Where I will give myself props is my ability to put pieces together (INFJs unite!) and play the tape forward so to speak (Human Design Projector here). […]

This is the fourth and final part in the Toxic Workplace Series. Links to:  Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Toxic workplaces and/or managers can do a real number on our health (mental, physical, and spiritual) as well as our self-esteem and confidence. I know this firsthand, and if I had any idea just […]

This is the third part in the Toxic Workplace Series. Check out part 1: Red Flags of a Toxic Workplace here Check out part 2: Why We’re Susceptible to Toxic Workplaces here When you hear the term “toxic workplace” it can conjure up all kinds of imagery from the boss that yells and screams to […]

This is part two in a series of posts all about toxic workplaces (you can find part one, here) Shortly after leaving my first (and incredibly toxic) corporate job, I came across this article by Laura Epson on the topic of insecure overachievers. To say that every light went on in my brain is an […]
