Did your mind jump straight to work?
The endless meetings.Mounting deadlines.Constant content creation.
If so, you aren't alone.
We spend about one-third of our life at work and have to plan our entire lives around it. But what if we w...
My therapist likes to say "Clarity is cheap" because information and knowledge alone often aren't enough.
It's what we do with the information that's important.
I've found this is especially true when it comes to preventing (or recovering from) burnout.
After spending over a decade collecting i...
I've been updating my first digital product, Tech for Boundaries, for the latest iOS 18 update over the last couple weeks (I'm behind on getting it out because I'm a maximalist and have almost doubled the page count adding new resources 🙈)

I sometimes wonder if energy tracking isn't as "mainstream" as time tracking because it's not fixed or linear.
