doses of inspiration

@CAREERINSIGHTSTUDIO

Got a full dose of ‘80s hits with friends last night! @beatdivisionband brought the house down at the Headliners Club—scrunchies, fanny packs, and neon were out in full force, and so were our best (and possibly questionable) dance moves. Such a mood boost! 🎶✨

Years ago, I was deeply entrenched in one of the most overwhelming periods of my career. I began working with a coach, who shared a simple technique that brought clarity into why I was feeling so overwhelmed.
After doing the exercise for one week, I realized I was spending waaay too much time on tasks that drained my energy and took focus away from higher impact work. This simple but powerful exercise helped me take more control of my work-life balance and focus on what mattered most.
Meet the Love it | Loathe it exercise!
This simple tool may just help you discover what energizes you and what zaps your energy—insights that may surprise you!
Here’s how it works:
Take a blank sheet of paper, open a blank Microsoft Word document or download the free template in the post. Divide it into two columns labeled “Things I Love” and “Things I Loathe.”
Track your activities for one week.
Review your list. Reflect on your findings. Are the tasks you loathe essential? If so, can they be delegated, streamlined, or approached differently?
Talk it through. If you’re working with a coach, mentor, or manager, review your list together. Their perspective can help you uncover solutions you may not have considered.
Once you’ve seen the benefits for yourself, introduce the exercise to your team. Share your own experience openly and present it as a chance to grow and work better together.
Learn to be more intentional about what you take on and what you might reallocate or eliminate.
Dive into the post and grab the free template to get started on refining your work-life balance.

✈️ Dreaming of Your Next Getaway? Let’s make it stress-free for working moms!
A few years back, I took a solo international trip that completely changed my view on travel planning, all thanks to a travel advisor.
Meet Brian Huyvaert from @timezonelesstravels! 🌍
I recently sat down with Brian to have him share a few of his secret travel tips and why having a travel advisor is like having a backstage pass to the world 🌎
Brian has helped me with several trips and what a difference it has made! It not only takes the mental load off of the traveler (you!) but is much more fun having an expert partner bring your vision to life.
