Cool Off with These Hot Reads: Five Books That Feel Like a Summer Escape

@CAREERINSIGHTSTUDIO

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your work (and yourself) is to step away from it.

Whether it’s a long weekend or a long-awaited adventure, giving yourself space to rest and recharge can bring fresh perspective and energy you can actually feel.

In this week’s post, I’m sharing:

+ Highlights from my Croatia trip (Dubrovnik, Trogir, and a few hidden gems)
+ My “dream bucket” savings strategy: how small, consistent deposits made it possible, plus an investment app to help you save up (with referral link for a discount) thanks to @erikagentry for sharing!
+ What I’d do differently next time, including travel timing and carry-on essentials

If you’ve been craving a reset or need a little nudge to plan your next “someday” trip, this one’s worth a read.

Thank you to @sarahcentrella for planning this amazing retreat, @estoveststyle for outfit recommendations and @timezonelesstravels for helping with travel accommodations. You all made this experience extra special 🥰

If your calendar suddenly looks like a festive game of Tetris, you’re in good company. This time of year has a way of stretching us working parents thin…school events, work deadlines, holiday everything.

And while we know we shouldn’t do it all alone, asking for help can still feel…tricky.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a celebrity (or a CEO) to get support. Earlier this year, I worked with Joni Thurber of Juggle Source (a professional personal assistant) and it was a reminder that even small assistance can bring big relief.

In our Q&A, Joni shares:
- What personal assistants really do
- Why support is more about collaboration than big budgets
- Simple ways she helps clients feel lighter and less overwhelmed

If you’re looking for a little breathing room, this one’s worth a read.

Fall has been busy! 🍁🍂 I’m back from a little blog break with some fun career + life updates…starting with one of my favorite topics: team building.

Over the years, I’ve joined (and led) my fair share of team building activities…including one where I got in the ring to wrestle my manager in a sumo costume! Yep. True story.

If you want to get the details on what goes into making a memorable team experience, check out the full post at the link in my bio 👆

Spoiler alert…Puppy Yoga was hands down a favorite! The best combination of zen and cuteness.
