Being human is hard.

And we receive so many messages that make it harder.

Drafts of this month's newsletter initially listed out each messed-up message.

One day, I'd love to hire a therapist to provide this support to the Changemaker Careers Community.

In solidarity,

Katie

I could picture it so easily - living my best professor life, supporting public...

A Resilience Playlist To Help You Move Through Job Search Grief

"Grief is just love with nowhere to go." It's a phrase I return to often because grief is a tough feeling to sit with. But like with most feelings, the only way out is through. And grief is a frequent visitor throughout our job search. That's because, during the job search, our self-love often has nowhere to go. We know we're capable of great work, we just need someone to give us a chance. And ...
