I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
I am at a loss for words.
I have considered what I can write to encourage and support people during these bewildering moments in history.
In the last two days, I have started emails and social posts only to stop and reverse-tap the cursor to the tune of my own ineffectiveness.
I figuratively keep patting my pockets, hoping the perfect sentences will fall out like lint, loose change, or a missing tenner.
NOPE.
What I CAN write is that I am grievously ill-equipped to confidently provide context, perspective, or advice regarding any of the events from this week.
But I do know a couple of things about some other stuff.
The body bears the burden of all our stress and sadness. Like a shield taking hits for a soldier, our body protects willingly and by design. But, also by design, it must be moved and exercised to ring out the excess emotions absorbed during combat. I know we must move.
The brain intimately communicates with every cell. When your brain is troubling through unbelievable situations, every cell is working to help you navigate. I know we must honor the infinite wisdom of the body.
When we take a moment to breathe, the lungs respond to new oxygen like cracked, dry dirt receiving fresh rain. I know we must breathe.
If we can’t find the words to speak – dancing, drawing, singing, or screaming allows the body permission to express what the mind simply can’t. I know we must express creatively.
When we take in healthy food, it is not just for energy and fuel. I know respectfully feeding ourselves is an intimate act of self-compassion.
Sleep allows the brain and body to sit uninterrupted like two old estranged friends sorting and discussing so healing can take root. I know sleep is the ultimate healer.
Acts of mindfulness garner perspective, and relativity. I know mindful moments harvest secret reserves of strength and energy.
My encouragement to you this week is to ENGAGE FULLY
Move willingly
Breathe deeply
Express creatively
Eat compassionately
Sleep restoratively
Step mindfully
When we are not optimized, we are not our most effective and influential self. And if we are not tending to these beautiful facets of our being, we cannot carry-on to create the change we see the world so needs from us.
In health, growth, and, potential.
xoxo Dr. Heather

Hi,
I wanted to get some other perspectives from anyone that has become a mum and feels like they need to/want to take a step back in their career? I don't know if my experience is unusual or if this is a common thing that happens. I have a very limited village, so any illness or issue means I have to take time off work etc. and progressing in my career in a high stress environment doesn't feel sustainable alongside the home life pressure. Is anyone willing to share their experiences?

Tired of filling out job application forms? You are not alone!
Job searching can be draining, and one of the biggest hurdles is the sheer volume of applications. Don't let application fatigue slow you down. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide to help you power through:
Step 1: Optimize Your Resume for Each Role, Efficiently!
Instead of rewriting your entire resume for every job, focus on targeted tweaks. Identify 3-5 keywords from the job description and make sure they appear naturally in your resume, especially in your summary and experience sections. Use an AI tool or a word cloud generator to quickly spot these keywords in the job posting. This saves time and significantly increases your chances of passing applicant tracking systems (ATS).
Step 2: Craft a Concise, Impactful Cover Letter Template
Stop writing unique cover letters from scratch. Develop a master template that includes sections for your introduction, your key skills and achievements, and a strong closing. For each application, simply customize the company name, job title, and one or two sentences that specifically highlight why you're a perfect fit for this particular role. Keep it brief – three paragraphs are usually enough.
Step 3: Set Application Limits (and Stick to Them!)
It's tempting to apply for everything, but this often leads to burnout. Decide on a realistic number of applications you'll submit each day or week (e.g., 3-5 quality applications per day). Once you hit that number, stop! Use the extra time to network, learn new skills, or simply recharge. This helps maintain your energy and focus, ensuring each application gets the attention it deserves.
What other job search challenges are you facing?

Hello everyone, I will be re-entering the job market at the start of next year.
I work in the health insurance industry and my job is suddenly not looking so stable. I've been warned I might get a minor hour/pay reduction next year depending on how many clients we lose, best case is 10% and worst case is 25%. I know I'm 'safe' for this AEP - I'm the only receptionist for a family business with 2K clients. If they let me go they would not be able to function. But next AEP is not as guarenteed depending on how bad it gets this and next year, and I'm not waiting to find out. So after this AEP, I'm going to be looking for a new job.
I have not job hunted in about 2 years. How much different is it? I have solid experience in office work and that's mostly what my education was focused on (that and business). Last time I job hunted is when AI was just starting to make it's way into the job application field, and I loathe to find out how pervasive it is now.

Currently interviewing but i have a dental procedure coming up that will put me out for a week , meaning I will be out for 1 week, just 2-3 weeks right after starting the job. ...
I would like to prepare what I will say as im approaching last interview and may land the job. The issue is I would rather start right away because i need income urgently to pay bills
a- tell them its best for me to start after my procedure - 3 weeks from now ( which will but me in a predicament as i need immediate income) and they might be annoyed they have to wait 3 weeks
or
b-tell them i can start 1 or 2 weeks before my procedure and but that in 3 weeks I may need an entire week off .
advice ?
