    Vaxed, waxed, and ready to hit these streets? Don’t mind if we do. And summer is the penultimate time to dive back (safely, of course) into a buzzing social scene.

    Surviving a Lay-Off… Essential Questions to Ask Your Employer When Facing a Lay-Off

    Job loss of any kind can be hard. But it’s especially hard when that loss is unexpected and due to no fault of your own. Aside from the loss of income, which is no small thing, many people also struggle with feeling displaced and devalued. Combine that with feelings of loneliness and grief for the relationships and daily routines that used to provide a sense of comfort and familiarity, and you’ve got a ready-made recipe for panic, anxiety, and depression. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. A job loss, though difficult, is not the end of the world, and can actually serve as a launchpad to the next best thing for you and your career. The key is to approach it with mindfulness, patience, self-compassion, and a bit of strategy. In this two-part series, we offer some tools and advice to weathering the storm of a lay-off. In Part One, we take a look at some of the things you want to ask for and about from your employer when and if you’re laid off…. You sit silently in the room with your boss and the HR rep. They’ve just explained that this is a business decision, nothing,...

    Permission to Rest

    It’s been a long year. And it’s been a hard year. While I have hope that the new year will bring us some much-needed leadership at the national level on everything from the pandemic to the continued fight against systemic racism, I need a break. And that’s why this month’s issue is dedicated to three simple words/mandates – Rest. Recharge. Reset. Take this month to rest. Take this month to refill that cup of yours which has been running on empty for some time now. Take this month to really take stock of what’s working and what’s not. Make your action plan. Set your timeline. And then do it. But, first – REST. Take the time to take care of you. Because you deserve it. Because you need it. Because it is critical to your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. So, as we officially wind down one of the most difficult, anxiety-ridden, fear-inducing, “I’ve had more than enough” years in modern history, consider this your official permission to rest and be well.
