Walls no longer serve as simple barriers between rooms to be used in the modern interior design world. They are a statement of personality, health, and even luxury.

Are You Building a Career or Just a Brand?
Let’s face it: we’re all living double lives. There’s the version of you that gets up, does the work, and delivers results. And then there’s the curated, polished, LinkedIn-friendly version of you - the one who seems effortlessly successful, constantly grinding, and always "on." Over time, it feels like this second version of ourselves has taken center stage. We’ve become performers in our own career dramas, and honestly, the show is exhausting.

Writing Together, Respecting Boundaries.
Hi everyone😊. I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts about something that happened recently. A fellow member reached out to me about another member and shared some unkind things about them. While I really value that we can form connections and even friendships outside of Vocal, I want to gently remind everyone that each writer’s journey is unique. We don’t owe anyone access to our personal lives.

All my Top Stories in one place
Fiction A body on the bridge 1. I remember thinking. Will this photo catch their eyes? It’s dark even though there were lights on the bridge. Then I thought, maybe the title would grab them. Something with death as a quiet wink beneath the title. There was a horrible crime in my city, what a perfect and terrible thing.
