Part mentor. Part friend. Part career fairy godmother.
I’ve seen my share of workplace insanity, and it’s time to give back.
I’m here to help you know what you’re worth, level up your career, and actually enjoy the ride—
with tough love, real-life wisdom, and a few laughs.
Let’s tackle career growth, office politics, that weird fridge smell, and keeping your work-life balance intact.
You’ve got this — I’ll make sure you remember it.
Why Everyone Needs a Work Mom 👑
Work can be amazing. It can also suck. Sometimes all before lunch.
But no one gives you a manual on office politics, asking for a raise, or dealing with that guy who steals your ideas.
That’s where your Work Mom comes in.
Not a manager. Not HR. Not some corporate bro spouting hustle culture crap.
Your Work Mom is the person who looks out for you, delivers the tough love, hypes you up, and makes sure you know your worth.
As a Gen X ad industry veteran, I’ve seen (almost) everything, so you don’t have to. And I’m here to help you get what you need — without apologizing for it.
Welcome to Everyone needs a Work Mom. Now you’ve got one.
Decoding Job Description BS 💩
So, you’re scrolling through job listings, looking for your next gig. Seen these?
"We’re like a family!"
"Must wear many hats!"
“Self-Starter”
These are NOT selling points. They’re code words for workplace watch-outs. Let’s break em down:
· “Like a Family” = Drama, dysfunction and no boundaries.
· “Wear Many Hats” = Do multiple jobs for one salary please.
· “Self-Starter” = No training, no support, no landing gear.
· “Competitive Pay” = We’d rather not tell you how little we’re paying.
· “Fast-Paced Environment” = We wear stress like a badge of honor.
· “Growth Opportunity” = Your boss is probably quitting.
· “Looking for a Unicorn” = We have no idea what we’re looking for.
· “Work Hard, Play Hard” = You’ll definitely be working weekends.
· “High Energy” = This job will simply drain your soul.
A job description is a preview of company culture. If it’s full of BS, just imagine what working there will be like… and then don’t.
Blog Post Title Three
It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
