Let’s talk about work.

Work can suck for a lot of reasons.

Lack of flexibility, toxic colleagues, gaslighting, unreasonable demands, undervalued, underpaid… the list goes on and on.

I spent 15 years in a corporate environment, eventually becoming part of the executive team at a tech company. During the pandemic, I left. I pivoted to an entirely new career in content marketing and journalism. Less than two years later, I pivoted again — to self-employment.

I started this newsletter to talk about the things that are broken about work and the people who are trying to fix them. I cover remote work, workplace dysfunction, technology and AI, power dynamics… how to build a work life that actually works for you.

Maybe you want to quit your job (do it!). Maybe you’re a manager who wants to do better (yes, please!). Maybe you’re not in a position to leave, but you want to feel like you’re not alone (I get it).

What to expect: A free post every week about work and work culture. If you’re also interested in the solopreneur side of things — the career pivot, building something on your own, working for yourself — paid subscribers get extra posts on that topic.

About Me

I was an English major in college and finally got to live out my dream of being a professional writer when I quit my corporate job in 2021.

I work as a freelance writer for B2B SaaS companies and industry publications. My work has been featured in Fast Company, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Independent Banker, and many other outlets. I live in a suburb of Chicago with my husband, three kids, and three cats.
