Why I haven't quit my part-time job yet.
There are a lot of reasons why I haven’t yet left my part-time job of 4 years. What I thought was just a temporary job in my university career, turns out to be my main source of income (right now), which is still temporary. I feel pressure from my parents (especially my mom), who well, wants me to do better, but think that a ‘linear’ path is a 'successful' path - like my dad, and that path worked for him. For me, not so much.

How Remote Work Can Benefit Your Health
When managed right, remote working can be the best thing that happens to someone. It grants people the freedom to do their work from wherever they want. They can schedule their own breaks, and overall, can handle their everyday lives with much more flexibility.

The Vocal Ambassador Group
A thrill of excitement fills me from head to toe this morning. I joined the Vocal Ambassador Group and allow me to say, it’s not for the money. Anyways, my Stripe account is all screwed up but I do have other reasons for wanting to participate in this specific group.

Zen And The Art Of Dog Walking
Retirement may be a dream for most people, but the reality of having an unscheduled life may sound exciting for some people. In fact, I had all these plans to do things --like write a book, go on a singing tour, and do more travel. But somehow, all my goals and desires just seemed to have drained away after I retired on that fateful afternoon in September this year.

When Following Your Intuition Sucks. Top Story - October 2021.
Two minutes before writing this, I was kneeling on the bathroom floor of our favorite neighborhood coffee shop, breathing deeply through my nose and into my belly, trying hard not to lose my shi*t.

3 freedoms I don't have in America
When I moved to the United States on a professional TN work visa, my expectations were high. I am a Canadian native and until recently, had been living in Canada my whole life. I was able to secure a position in Florida as a social worker (one of the 60 NAFTA professions). Unfortunately, this position did not offer the kind of job stability I was accustomed to living and working in Canada. This conundrum lead to more unexpected issues that have me questioning if living and working in the USA is all that better. Today, I wanted to share a few realities that hit me in my journey from The Great White North to the Sunshine State.

Breaking Brain Waves
Here I sit again, staring into the abyss of haze that is my mind. I think like I speak because the space between the functions is not directed but dispersed like a field of oranges that sprouted a forest when all you get out of me is further from the point.

My "Hello" Introduction
What does it feel like when writing about a certain subject? Or better yet, what does it feel like writing about anything for that matter? I guess for me, it's a feeling of release, not just of emotions, but also of bottled-up creativity, just waiting to burst out.

Part-Time Nanny
At the beginning of the pandemic, I made the decision to travel over a thousand miles away, to a completely different location. I didn't know what to do, where to work, or what to begin trying. One friend brought up the idea of nannying, and five interviews later, I had found a family that felt perfect. The children were sweet and the parents were kind. They were understanding and were not strict on how they wanted me to interact with the kids, as long as their children received care and love. And trust me they did.

Whether you are learning something new or switching careers; is there something that you wish you knew before you started on a career path? Or enter into a relationship? Or, perhaps, something as simple as going to a restaurant or buying an item?

Knowing your why in a nonstop world
As someone born in Generation Z, I have been brought up with constant reminders of how lucky I am, how many opportunities there are available to me, and ultimately how much better life is. While I don’t completely disagree with that statement I don’t think it’s a surprise that unemployment is up, suicide and depression are almost recognized as normal for young adults, and the common ‘mid-life crisis’ is replaced by a much more daunting ‘quarter-life crisis’.

My very 1st Bizz proposal
19OCT2021; 1547, TUE The following is by no means a traditional Bizz proposal. However, it's a small collection of "think pieces" that I quickly typed up in the interest of advancing my fledgling apparel brand, War 'N' Tees (WNT).
