Do you trust your instincts? I usually trust my instincts. I’m a gut girl. A vibes-reader. A “I knew that before the words even came out your mouth” kind of person. My internal compass has always been so finely tuned that Google Maps could only hope to keep […]
This morning, as I was waiting for my tea water to boil (because adulthood is mostly waiting for water to do things) I asked myself a totally normal, not-at-all-unhinged question: Can you see your reflection in boiling water? Science says no. Psychology says maybe you shouldn’t be trying. […]
How do you manage screen time for yourself? There’s a new workplace epidemic spreading faster than a viral TikTok. That is that of “texting while meeting”. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that CEOs are fed up with it, and honestly, I get it. You look around the […]
There comes a point in every day when you start to question not just what time it is, but what day it even is. Today was one of those days. You know the kind where you’re running around like a headless chicken, except this chicken is also holding […]
Halloween finally arrived. The day of glorious weirdness I’ve been waiting for all month. And naturally, I woke up at 4:14 a.m. because my body apparently wanted to pregame the day with exhaustion. Who needs sleep when there’s candy corn to contemplate and costumes to coordinate? By the […]

You’ve heard the age-old debate: Is the glass half full or half empty? Cue the philosophical tug-of-war between optimism and pessimism. Psychologists have written treatises on it. Motivational speakers have made careers out of it. Team leaders have led icebreakers around it. And somewhere, an over-caffeinated intern once […]
There are victories no one will ever clap for. The kind that don’t make it into performance reviews, Instagram stories, or dinner table anecdotes. The ones that exist in a whisper that are quiet, personal, and invisible. But oh, so real. You know the type. The day you […]
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I am an extroverted introvert. Yes, we exist. No, it’s not a riddle. It means I can work a room with charm, banter, and enough social pizzazz to look like I was born in sequins and confetti. […]
