If it feels like the job market has gotten harder lately, youāre not imagining it.
Iāve had more conversations than usual with friends, colleagues, and former teammates who are navigating layoffs or quietly exploring whatās next. Itās a reminder that even incredibly talented people can find themselves searching in a very crowded market.
Thatās what inspired this weekās post.
I rounded up three lesser-known job search platforms that can help you look beyond LinkedIn and find opportunities with a little less noise and a little more intention.
No job board is a magic solution. But having the right tools, combined with thoughtful networking, can make the process feel much more manageable.
If someone you care about is searching right now, consider sharing this with them.
Sometimes the most helpful thing we can offer is a resource they havenāt discovered yet.

Have a favorite job search tool that deserves more attention?

I recently attended an intro session for @howwomenlead and left wishing I had known about this organization sooner!
If youāre a woman with significant experience and big ambitions, whether thatās a board seat, access to capital, stronger leadership networks, or simply finding your people, itās worth a look.

Cheers to more women leaders!

Happy Mothers Day! To the moms showing up even when the calendar is full and the timing isnāt perfect...this oneās for you. šø
Iām taking a little trip down memory lane today on the blog.
Back in early 2020, I almost said no to volunteering at my son Dylanās middle school for Career Day.
Work was busy, my plate was full, and Iād pulled the classic move of offering to be a ābackupā ā¦fully expecting not to be called.
Spoiler alert: I was called.
What followed involved poster boards, a laptop demo, candy bribes, and the very humbling experience of trying to make digital marketing sound cool to 7th & 8th graders all while standing next to a fireman.
When it was over, I asked Dylan how he thought it went. His answer is the whole reason I wrote todayās post.
This Motherās Day, Iām grateful for the yes I almost didnāt say. š„°

Some things sit on the list for years. Not because you forget about them, but because life keeps filling in the calendar before you get there. š·
We finally made it to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival during bloom season. And it was every bit as beautiful as Iād imagined!
One more reason I love my home state š

To the working mom who has ever stress-Googled Easter ideas at 11pmā¦this oneās for you. š£
In todayās post, Iām reflecting on years of Easter holiday hits and misses along with the one working parent lesson that took me waaaay too long to learn.
However youāre celebrating today (big or small, fancy or pajama-clad), I hope you find your version of the holiday magic.
