Activism Without Losing Yourself with Jax Anderson

It’s okay to feel your feelings and take time to sort out how you want to respond. And everyone’s form of activism might look different, and your activism might be different today than it will be next week.

Five Minutes A Day To Take Control Of Your Finances with Nicole Barham

Five Minutes A Day To Take Control Of Your Finances with Nicole Barham

And that’s the reason why I share the bankruptcy too. Because I want people to know that there is no shame when they, when they start working with me, right? Or use any of my products. Like, you know, this is someone who got to really the, I guess rock bottom, you would say, of the finances, because even though people think this is a Get Out of Jail Free card, the bankruptcy follows you around for 10 years. You still owe debt. So it’s not like zero at the end of the day.

The Benefits of Productive Procrastination

The Benefits of Productive Procrastination

I think it’s really common when we’re feeling overwhelmed to fall into the practice of productive procrastination. Maybe that shows up like rewriting your master list, maybe you already have, you know, your to do list either in a notebook or in whatever task management software you use. And it’s all spelled out. But you decide to rewrite everything because it gives you that sense that you’re doing something. But the reality is, it’s already there for you and you’re not actually doing the work, you’re just kind of, you know, going back through and reorganizing and kind of revisiting it.
