I Hired Help. Then I Had to Let Her Go. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hired a virtual assistant from the Philippines in July. I brought her on to help me manage our social media and build out the company’s email marketing and CRM infrastructure in Go Highlevel. I needed help connecting the back ends of various tools to one another through the magic of APIs. I was sure I had endless work for her to do.But last week, I decided to let her go. It wasn’t her fault.A friend I trust — a brilliant digital marketer who has grown a whole team in the Philippines — swears b
The Identity Shift: From Corporate Title to Midlife Business Builder (opens the original)

This episode of Broad Collective Live! on LinkedIn (full video here) is all about the inside story of making the leap from being a woman with a successful capital C Career to being someone who… works from home, for herself, in a job with no title and no ladder to climb or fall off of.

But LinkedIn is where the conversation about the state of women’s careers is the most robust (which makes sense, duh) so I’ve gotten over myself and I’ve actually been enjoying being back in the mode of m

When you go from being a direct deposit girly to running your own business in midlife, the chasm between who you were and who you are now can lead to lots of deep, existential thoughts.Even almost four years in, mine sometimes come in the middle of the night - that’s the 3am math of trying to calculate who you are when there’s no title or recognizable company attached to your name anymore. I wake up remembering I’m happy to be free, but I never fail to notice the bags under my eyes.When you’re n
