Maybe, just maybe, it is not you...

I was thinking about the parable of the Sower in the scriptures. I think, as with all parables, there are some interpretations that lend themselves to our work lives. If you find yourself in one of these toxic workplaces, maybe it isn't your fault that you aren't happy and fulfilled.

There is only one reason to change who you are...

There have been many times in my life that someone has asked me to change the way I act, the way I talk, or the way I work because they didn't like the way I did something. It often takes the form of "could you be less of you?" or "can you dial it back a little?" In today's episode, I want to discuss this and share the one, singular, reason to make changes to who you are or how you act.

Not Resolutions, Boundaries

I have been thinking about New Year's Resolutions a lot lately. Mostly because I finally achieved all of mine this past year. I lost 100 pounds, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, got a tattoo, found a new job that is amazing (well, as amazing as a job can be). So, this year, instead of setting resolutions, I am going to instead set some boundaries. I wanted to come up with around ten, but here is what I have so far. I will update if I think of anymore. (Update: We have 7 now!)
