If you have to tell people you’re an empath, most likely you’re not empathetic

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

Being an “empath” means you feel and understand other perspectives deeply, not that you feel your reactions to another persons feelings deeply.

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

I’m so grateful for wfh. Rest, movement and eating well is so important for endometriosis warriors and that is nearly impossible when juggling a commute + office. I couldn’t be the best me and now I am thriving. If you notice a high performing employee struggling, dig deeper.

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

What I have been learning on my road to people management is that you need to change your approach based on a persons needs. Not everyone responds well to feedback, so you need to coach instead. Direct works with some while the sandwich method works for others.

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

As a manager, please ask yourself if you’re providing psychological safety to your employees. Can they bring an issue to you without fear? Can they explore new ideas without consequences of failing? If the answer is no, do better.

A PSA to all the girlies, sometimes it is okay to go out with your eyeliner looking hella wonky on one side

I’ve never considered myself a great designer and will probably never be one. But design took me out of poverty, brought me to Canada, and allowed me to buy a house. There is a lot of success in the middle. You don’t need to be the best out there to live a good life.

@nicolefranq Putting my career before everything else, even my health, treat it as it is, a job not your life.

How I learned I was a child in an adult body and what I did to help myself mature:

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

@nicolefranq I deff take way less time off now that I have unlimited PTO than when I had a set number. I have a little more guilt when I take PTO off now and it’s nothing the company or manager has said. They tell you to use it! So, psychologically for me, it’s doing something!

6 Habits That Will Drastically Change Your Emotional Health:

[Tori Edgar @toriedgarr]

@AndreaRussett Always get checked out and never feel guilty about it♥️. I get endo pain in my right abdomen and assumed it was a flare up. Due to treatment I have received in the past from medical professionals, I dismissed it. My appendix ended up bursting. And yes, my endo pain is that bad.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Affirmation: I feel fear and move through it anyway. I show up for myself even when I'm uncomfortable. My future self is grateful for the choices I make today and every day.
