Sometimes the fear won't go away, so you'll have to do it afraid #MondayMotivaton

[Laura Tacho 🌮 @rhein_wein]

Employee A is a solid performer and asks for a 10k salary increase.

But they're already at the top of the salary band, so it's not possible.

So they find a new job that pays them 15k more, and the company ends up spending 40k to hire and train a replacement.

@heykelechi It’s just too fitting

[Vanessa @Vanution]

@heykelechi Low ROI 😭😭😭

[Vanessa @Vanution]

Trying to navigate relationships and show up for others while in self preservation mode is…hard

[Black Therapist 💕 @NicoleLewisLCSW]

Do not negotiate who you are.

[Black Therapist 💕 @NicoleLewisLCSW]

Staying busy isn’t going to make those feelings go away.

[Vanessa @Vanution]

@MichellCClark Feeling empowered to make decisions rather than being stuck out of obligation or fear of loss

[Vanessa @Vanution]

@heidiklum Im OBSESSED 😭

[Andrea Diaz @Drea__Diaz]

.@heidiklum dancing in her worm costume is my favorite thing on the internet today 😂

[Vanessa @Vanution]

@kxnesha Thank you for saying that! Ive always been candid about my experience but was pretty nervous about sharing it on camera. Hearing that it resonated makes it all worthwhile. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey ✨

[Vanessa @Vanution]

Daily walks in the morning (instead of forcing myself to step outside at the end of the day) are a whole different vibe. Can’t quite put my finger on why, maybe because it makes me feel less rushed, starting my day by making time for myself instead of jumping straight into work.

[Vanessa @Vanution]

As a recovering workaholic, Im still wrapping my head around what it means to have WLB…a social life? Hobbies? Travel? Binge watching? Clarity because I’m not rushing from one thing to the next? Having time to just BE…w/o feeling guilty? Sleep? The possibilities are endless 😭

a lot happening in the world, how are you taking care of yourself right now?

[Vanessa @Vanution]

3 promotions in 3.5 years at Google. And to think I came in with imposter syndrome 😭

[Vanessa @Vanution]

Two days before my birthday 😭

Guess that PTO is being put to use

[BMW @BriLimitless]

Y’all, they are sending us back to the office 😭😭😭

[jamika d burge, PhD @JDBurge]

Yassss !

[Dasha | Financial Activist @brokeblackgirl_]

People are replacing financial educators that use shame and bullying as a tactic with financial educators who use empathy and cultural competence as a genuine method to connect and provide financial literacy.

Shame work doesn’t work.

It’s outdated and tired.

A thread -

[BMW @BriLimitless]

I can’t believe we are about to go through PERF again and it feels like we just finished going through the last cycle

[Vanessa @Vanution]

So frustrating! When I was vetting advisor I was disappointed by how many use scare tactics. Especially since I led with areas I know I need to improve…you don’t have to convince me I need help, I’m already here…

[Taylor Poindexter @engineering_bae]

Last month I hired a financial advisor, but I always felt he was condescending when giving me advice. So this morning I let him know I’d prefer to not continue our financial journey together. His response let me know I made the right decision in firing him. 😂

[Vanessa @Vanution]

‼️ That part

[Taylor Poindexter @engineering_bae]

Blocking off your calendar to allow you to have Focus Time outside of your barrage of meetings is great, but sometimes I really struggle to focus when I finally make it to that block of Focus Time. No one talks about that.

[Vanessa @Vanution]

That’s the goal!

Anyone who knows me, knows I struggle with this 😭

[SLIM 🫧 @_slimarella_]

one thing about me, i prioritize sleeping, resting, taking my time, and not rushing. productivity culture will not run me dry at such a young age.
