If it feels like the job market has gotten harder lately, you’re not imagining it.
I’ve had more conversations than usual with friends, colleagues, and former teammates who are navigating layoffs or quietly exploring what’s next. It’s a reminder that even incredibly talented people can find themselves searching in a very crowded market.
That’s what inspired this week’s 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 haven’t 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 you’re a woman with significant experience and big ambitions, whether that’s a board seat, access to capital, stronger leadership networks, or simply finding your people, it’s worth a look.

Happy Mothers Day! To the moms showing up even when the calendar is full and the timing isn’t perfect...this one’s for you. 🌸
I’m taking a little trip down memory lane today on the blog.
Back in early 2020, I almost said no to volunteering at my son Dylan’s middle school for Career Day.
Work was busy, my plate was full, and I’d pulled the classic move of offering to be a “backup” …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 today’s post.
This Mother’s Day, I’m grateful for the yes I almost didn’t say. 🥰

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. 🌷
We finally made it to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival during bloom season. And it was every bit as beautiful as I’d imagined!
One more reason I love my home state 👏

To the working mom who has ever stress-Googled Easter ideas at 11pm…this one’s for you. 🐣
In today’s post, I’m 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 you’re celebrating today (big or small, fancy or pajama-clad), I hope you find your version of the holiday magic.
