Great timing as corporations are laying off left and right and I keep hearing how people have been applying for 400 jobs and getting nowhere. Crickets.

The system is broken so stop applying to 400 jobs and make your own!!! I’m πŸ’― behind this idea, Ash!

My husband has spent the last 11 weeks applying for who knows how many jobs. It’s been challenging. Thankfully he starts a new position tomorrow.

And I’d like to find something new for myself to replenish the almost empty coffers.

This πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

"Every friend I have is going through career menopause right nowβ€”what I call it when your aspirations dry up, and your youthful ambition does, too."

My aspirations have definitely dried up this year, but my youthful ambition has been drinkin' that JUICE! And all it took was one REALLY GOOD dance class. Now I'm pivoting all my efforts to making that a full-time thing πŸ©°πŸ’ƒπŸΎ

But I'm always down for your ideas, Ash.

Can't wait for this to "walk-dance" into my inbox πŸ™ŒπŸΎ

Literally me rn: 🐿

I was "laser" (Austin Powers quotes) focused: I'm wrapping up writing my two-week-email series and putting together a landing page, while working on my next Substack post and NOW I can't freaking wait for this!!

Should I stop what I'm already working on? F*@$ no! Full steam ahead. I've changed directions countless times. If I do it again, I'm positive it won't be the last! 🀣🀣🀣 #LFG

I can't wait to read it. Have my Colorado Professional Teaching License in hand for my return but I'm having huge anxiety imagining myself being picked apart by middle schoolers... I'm also craving a creative outlet - and turning one of those into COLD HARD CASH would be even better. I'm tuned in!
