A digestible deep dive into a better work-life Really Good Work Advice Hey friend, Earlier this month, I attended a book event for my dear friend and fellow coach Amina AlTai and she did something that struck me in the moment — and left me pondering it for days after. She received a compliment from someone in the audience, and instead of quickly thanking her and moving on, Amina paused. Sat with it. Relished in it. Truly absorbed it. And it was fucking powerful. So powerful, in fact, that I…

A digestible deep dive into a better work-life Really Good Work Advice Hey there, A few days ago, I read this thoughtful Atlantic piece about the limits of self-knowledge and our culture’s obsession with defining ourselves. It made me reflect on a recent self-coaching session that seemed to contradict everything the article was saying—until I realized it was actually proving its deeper point.

But when I asked her to tell me about herself, she launched into a chronological recitation of her resume…

Building a better work-life. Happy Friday 🎉 “When do you know when to take the opportunity at hand, even if it’s not perfect, versus continuing to search for something that might seem perfect? Is there such thing as perfect?” This question landed in my inbox last week from “J”, a recent MBA grad who’d just been let go.

Building a better work-life. Happy almost-Friday! “Who am I to call myself that?” was the powerful question that emerged during our kick-off Paid Pod session this week. The person who asked it – an accomplished entrepreneur transitioning to the corporate world – confessed something I’ve heard (and felt) countless times: “I feel awkward claiming this title when I haven’t officially held it before, even though I’ve done all the work.” This internal resistance to owning your professional…
