The Best (and Craziest) Year of My Life Yet – A Personal Update 👶
|
First off, I want to thank you again for subscribing to my newsletter. It means a lot to me that you've chosen to be part of this community, and I hope to continue providing something of value to you. Now, onto my personal update... I'll start with the biggest news – I had a baby! Becoming a parent has been both challenging and rewarding in ways I never could have imagined. The crying, the sleepless nights, and the constant diaper changes – it's definitely been a wild and crazy ride. At the same time, seeing my little one grow and thrive has been an absolute joy. Every milestone I see—be it my baby’s first smile, sitting up independently, or beginning to crawl—fills me with immense pride. More importantly, these moments serve as powerful reminders of why I do what I do. Along with this big life change, I also received a promotion at work. While juggling new parenthood and a new role has been tough, I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunities and growth that have come with it. As you can imagine, these two major events have taken up most of my time and energy. That's why I haven't written a newsletter in quite some time. But now that things have settled down a bit, I'm excited to get back into my routine. I appreciate your patience and understanding during this busy period in my life. I'm excited to reconnect with you again. Watch out for my next email this Saturday! Until then, |

It's only a matter of time before everything we do is somehow connected to this emerging technology. And as someone in marketing, you can't afford to ignore it. But here's the good news—AI can greatly benefit you. Hear me out. I work for a publicly-traded company and they just released an AI policy a few months ago....
One of the biggest challenges as an introvert is learning to set boundaries at work. It can be easy to get caught up in people-pleasing or taking on more than we can handle, but it's crucial for our mental well-being to establish clear boundaries. I mentioned last week that I recently got promoted at work. That means a new boss. This new boss, let's call her Wendy, is the exact opposite of me. She talks fast, loud, and a lot. Her go-to phrase in the short months I've been her direct report is...
This week I wanted to talk about something I struggle with a lot – making decisions. Let me explain… As an introvert, I tend to be analytical and constantly inside my head. I like to think things through before making a decision and I want to be sure that my decisions are the right ones. In addition to being an introvert, I am also very conscientious. I take my time to think things through and analyze the pros and cons of every situation. Does that sound like you? This tendency for...
