How to Set New Years Resolutions

It starts early. Technically, you should’ve started mid-way through last January as last year’s resolutions started to crumble. Nonetheless, family dinner on Christmas is a great place to begin.  While everyone is going around sharing life updates, you start to feel a niggling sense of inadequacy.  What did you even do this year?

This is the spark.
That’s it, you resolve- next year will be different.

Real Talk Around Rituals

Impostor syndrome, panic attacks, anxiety... my three daily rituals. I'm a creature of habit, what can I say?

A temporary experience that 100% prevents me from doing anything productive. Working in HR for a company scaling exponentially is no cake walk. Being in charge of the happiness for 300 people ("retention! engagement! culture!") carries a burden. Needless to say, a lot of the time, I'm a mess.
