🎤 My final “Allyship 2.0 for Startups” workshop of 2022!
Image item
 
Whoosh: I guess pausing social media resonates with you! My most popular post in 2022 was this one (photo above) announcing my current break from IG. (+ I'm not EVER on Twitter, FB, or the Tok).
 
In real life, it's actually my busy season: I've been doing a bunch of year-end “Allyship 2.0” workshops (fun!) and trans/non-binary inclusion roadmaps. We just finalized our corporate client roster for 2023 (Eeee! We're booked until Q4).
 
In 2023, we “technically” could fit in a few more clients - if I liked a frantic 24-7 work life. Nope. 
 
I prefer deeeeeply supporting my clients AND myself. Simultaneously. 
 
Both/and, baby.
 
Next year I built in time for deep thinking + transformational client work. For spacious lunches with walking + bookstore browsing. + Spontaneous client needs. Early Fridays off. + Mid-day workouts at the (online) Queer Gym. Feminist book club. Advocacy. Travel!
You may recall that I opt out of the holiday crunch. No stressful gift lists. No 14 hour travel to the snow. No sexist high-pressure to have it all together. 
 
Instead, I design my own year end. So that I enter 2023 renewed. Healed (er, healing). Refreshed. Grounded. Ready.
 
Today, I pop up my away message (!), double-check my year-end donations, + fill my (woman-of-color-owned Away) luggage with my coziest + most flamboyant resort wear. And I fly off to the heat with what some might consider far too many books + drawing pens. 
 
I wish you strength + grace in pushing back against the tidal wave of perfectionist + productivity pressures to carve out moments (a life?) that feel like you + align with your values + elevate all the people.
 
in solidarity,
