A big shout-out to @Anna Levitt for joining @Stef Hingley and me for our latest coffee chat. This one is well worth listening to, especially if you’ve ever struggled to introduce yourself without starting with your job title. Anna coaches people whose sense of who they are has become tied to their work. Through Bubble Boss Co, she helps people explore life beyond their roles, including the shift from doing work they love to managing others and the questions AI raises about their expertise. We talked about the different interests that make us who we are, and how those can change without everything we did before becoming a waste. Stef also brought a question into the conversation that goes beyond our jobs: who are we when we’re not being productive? Listen to our conversation with Anna: Who are you outside of the workplace? While we’re here, I wanted to bring a few more recent conversations together: • @Emily Malec : You Need Boundaries to Be Soft Emily joined Stef and me to talk about making room for softness without giving away all your energy, including practicing the words for a boundary before you feel ready to say them. • @Alison MacLellan : Our mocktail-making chat 🍎 Alison and I got together to make mocktails and talk about bringing people together. Her community-building work makes space for connection, especially during a season when not everyone has somewhere to go. • @Dan Korus : Rebuilding a life that feels like your own Dan and I got into the experiences we carry into our work and what happens when a big part of our identity changes. There were also fake mustaches. 😂 A heads-up: the conversation includes childhood trauma, grief, difficult workplace experiences and adult language.

It's been suuuuch a long week staring at this screen, but my website update + makeover is DONE! I'm so proud of it, please go click around: https://www.hippinessis.com/ Now that it's finished, I want to celebrate the accomplishment - I always skip over this part, and I want to change that. What do you do to celebrate your wins along the way?

Having fun creating some animated graphics for social channels and wanted to share. Used my dot in ChatGPT to make these. Moving carousels are currently trending in the brand space, specifically on Instagram. But I will be sharing these assets to market our community! 💜 Should be interesting to see how they perform. Questions and comments always welcome xo Jen

Hi everyone! I know we're going to get into AI later on, but I wanted to share where I'm currently struggling and ask for some insight and personal experience. I primarily use Chat GPT and got LOST with the newest update. I'm interested in exploring how to "assign roles" and streamline my workflow. How did you begin this process and how has it evolved for you since integrating?
