It’s just so good for keeping my lip...

Mindset & Growth "The Seven-Day Weekend" by Ricardo Semler: This one completely blew my mind on what work could* look like.

Genuinely had me questioning everything about the traditional hustle. * "Atomic Habits" by James Clear: Okay, I know, everyone talks about this one, but there's a reason.

You know that feeling, right? The one where you wake up one morning and it hits you like a ton of bricks – you've been running on empty, pouring your energy into everyone else's cup, and yours is bone dry.

Reclaiming Your Space: Small Steps, Big Impact It’s actually okay to feel a little lost initially; that’s just the clearing for new connections to form. * Start with micro-boundaries. That might mean saying "no, thank you" to one extra committee even if it feels uncomfortable at first. You're unlearning a habit, and that takes practice. * Block out "you time" in your calendar, non-negotiable.
