It’s truly hard to believe it’s been over a year since I started this blog. Initially, my goal was to share insights and tools that have brought a little more ease into both my work and personal life. Little did I know that writing this blog had a fringe benefit in sparking my curiosity to explore and write about new experiences. I’ve been using it as an excuse to try new things — “It’s for the blog!” has become my go-to justification 🙂
If you’re new here, I’ve compiled many of the resources shared over the past year, making them readily accessible just in case you missed them. Consider this your personal tour guide through our archive of career-enhancing materials, all available at no cost—because who doesn’t love a good freebie? Let’s dive in.
