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


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.

HI friend, You know what I’ve realized? Since I started using AI, it has actually cost me thousands of dollars. Not because it broke anything. Not because it gave me bad ideas. But because it slowly stripped the joy out of how I work. And that joy? It turns out it was the fuel. For my creativity. For my momentum. And, for my revenue. For context - I run a coaching and consulting business for women and non-binary folks in tech. A big part of how I connect with future clients is by sharing...

“We did it, sister!” Brené Brown says, excitedly high-fiving me. She comes over with her paddle, and we do a celebratory tap with our eternal nemesis— ahem, I mean, our friendly, recreational pickleball opponents. This, my friend, is not the recounting of a fever dream. It’s a story about how I met THE Brené Brown at pickleball last week. photo credit: Brené’s instagram. the woman loves pickleball I was in my fourth hour of playing when, post-match, a sunny-dispositioned woman comes up to me....

I've spent the last couple months house-sitting in Honolulu. And part of my task was to keep a couple of plants alive. Succulents, specifically. Which should be easy enough, right? "Can you take care of a few plants?" my friend asked."Yes, of course," I said. "With a doubt." Because how hard could it be. Succulents.Low-maintenance. Thrive in neglect. The chillest of houseplants. But I fussed over it.“I’ll water it now just in case I forget later.”“This sun is intense - better top it off.” “If...
