Greetings from Kansas (+ your summer tasting menu is ready)

Published 18 days ago • 2 min read

Greetings from Kansas, Reader!

Let me say that again. Kansas!

I'm going to take a poll - how many of you have been here before?

....that's what I thought.

Literally the only person I could think of from Kansas was Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. And well, she wasn't real.

I just spent the last day flying for 10+ hours to arrive in Lawrence, Kansas (more on why in another newsletter).

And I do this thing every time I land somewhere. I start picturing my life there. The possibilities.

Could I make it work?

What would my days feel like?

Would I find my people?

Despite the jet lag, I woke up early to play pickleball with the locals at a nearby gym.

I worked from a cozy café and of course, said yes to their specialty, A twice-baked almond croissant.

I marveled at how difficult it was to find a human grocery store. Although pets were well cared for.

Trying on a new version of life, even for a day, is one of my favorite things.

And maybe you’re in that season too.

Trying things on. Dreaming.

Wondering what if.

Testing out a new rhythm or identity or idea.

If so, I've got you friend.
I’ve put together a scrumptious summer tasting menu.

You can pick one, a few, or try them all.

Take a gander below:

How to Network for Introverts in Tech Who Hate Networking (But Know It Matters)

We’ll talk about how to connect in a way that actually feels like you and gives you energy, rather than a go-go-go extroversion style.

I’ll also share how low-key networking helped me shift careers and build a business.

Dear friend, I want to tell you a story about raspberries. One of my clients planted a raspberry cane last year. Just a stick in the dirt. No leaves. No roots to speak of. Nothing that promised it would thrive. She didn’t expect much and that was kind of the ✨magic✨ of it. The raspberry was planted out of curiosity more than a commitment. But by the end of the season, it had taken over her garden. Branches everywhere. Bright green leaves. Even a few small berries. It wasn’t supposed to grow...

Dear friend, I hope today brings with it chuckles and chortles. Laughter, essentially. May you find something that gives you the afternoon giggles and lets you take a break from the screen, to be like "damn. that was funny." I used to say this line all the time: "I help women in tech fall back in love with their careers." And for a while, it felt right. I said it on LinkedIn, intro calls, workshops. I said it everywhere. (kind of like a parrot 🦜) And it resonated at the time with what I was...

So, let me set the scene. I'm holding a paper plate with a bagel on it, standing in the bathroom. Two feet of space. Right next to the toilet. A flickering fluorescent light overhead. Why? Because I was trying to avoid the pre-meeting small talk. That awkward dance of people hovering by the cold brew, making chit-chat about their weekend plans. I didn't know anyone all that well. And I didn't want to pretend I did. So the better option? I stood in the bathroom. Waiting for the actual meeting...
