Fresh Starts

If you saw my last post, you may be wondering which job I decided on. After a lot of anxiety and worry, I went with my gut and went with the job at the auction house! My conversation with my current manager  (of course) went better than I had imagined in my head; she was …

Growing Pains

Admittedly this is not an area where I have a wealth of experience, which is exactly why I wanted to write it. My career over the past 12 months has been all over the place. From graduating with my MA in Arts & Cultural Management, to spending several months working at a tech company, and …

I've written and deleted a few drafts since my last post, from well-intentioned recipe posts that I never quite finished, to ones focussed on personal-development ones that sputtered out before reaching their conclusion.

I've finally gotten to a place where I'm not quite as worried though, which arrived just in …

Monday Motivation

Last week was a busy week for me. I started a new internship, said goodbye to a friend of mine who moved back to the states, and had a mini-breakdown that it's August and my dissertation is due in less than a month. I thought I would put together a few things that helped me …
