Ep 87: I spent 8 weeks resting
I'm back after 8 weeks away! I've been on an entire content creation break. No podcasts, no newsletter, less social media and a lot of time to rest, think, cry and reassess. The clarity that has come from resting is pretty astounding. I break it all down in this week's episode.
Let me know your thoughts on twitter, Have you ever taken a break and done nothing?

Ep 85: I miss the ease of corporate
Let's face it, having a traditional job is easier. You just need to show up, do your job and go home. I miss that feeling. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water for the last few months drowning under the weight of having to do it all. When I was asked last week about whether or not I miss corporate, naturally my honest answer is at least once a week.
