Hey there, welcome to a conversation that helps you cope when work’s a lot—and I mean, when work’s a lot because life’s a lot.
when your personal stuff keeps busting into your work stuff
when your meth-addicted cousin keeps texting—and your boss keeps saying, “No phones”
when your body mass index or your chronic illness doesn’t let you “look professional”
when you gotta quit the job and everybody’s saying, “Be smart—don’t do it!”
This week, Andrea Munday and I sit down to the mics to say, You are not alone. Andrea drove from her Chicago-based company, Xeno Media to Calvin University in Grand Rapids for a book launch party for my newly published Digital Overwhelm put on by Calvin’s Center for Faith and Writing.
She made sure to come early enough so we could do mode/switch therapy in-studio.
This week, a millennial (that’s her) and an Xer (that’s me) swap their own stories of occupational disruption that span from the Great Recession to the Great Resignation.
Come for the tales of personal chaos in professional spaces—and stay for mode/switches to create psychological safety for yourself and others.
