HAPPY TUESDAY AMERICA!!!! Insane to me that health insurance companies and hospital systems have been allowed to act as credit czars for so long.

If you live in North America, you live on the only continent that has every biome. This is a 4 hour flight from the tundra of Chicago.

Why does Claude’s branding look like a new organic tampon brand
Claude really needs help with their branding. This is some of the worst ad copy I’ve ever seen.

fully convinced that we're so bad at dating bc we're a generation of cowards, that can't contend with delayed gratification or uncertainty. we want the 'best' option and we want it NOW, neither of which is possible with ppl and dating. we all need to STOP maximising, man.

Joined a private women’s networking community and I’m blown away by how engaged everyone is. Some *seriously* impressive ladies volunteering their time in ways I’ve never seen. These women are completely reorienting my perspective and it’s only been a week πŸ₯Ή

I used to have horrible stage fright. Now, I get to do this for a living πŸ™ If you have an upcoming event and need an interviewer, feel free to send me a message with the details.

Saw this reel and felt like sharing a very intimate reflection on how financial freedom breaks generational curses: I am the *first* woman in my family to move out before getting married. My mom, aunt, grandmothers, cousins - no one else has ever been given the chance to leave home without marriage. Some of them could only get jobs if they had the permission of their husbands and in-laws to work. I feel lucky that I’ve gotten to develop a sense of self - finding my own style, travelling wherever/whenever, dating whoever, without the questioning of family. And that’s all thanks to being financially independent. No one can stop me from doing what I want, because no one has handcuffs on my bank account.

Hi @thesamparr ! I applied to be your co-host for MoneyWise but there's nothing in my cover letter that I wouldn't put out into the universe. So if you (or anyone for that matter) are looking for a really passionate writer and interviewer - here's why I'd kill it :)

My hot take: our generation has swung so extreme with β€œtherapy talk” and β€œboundaries” that few people stick to their word and show up for their friends. Everybody has long days at work. Nobody wants to sit in traffic. Wear a raincoat. Take a Tylenol or Pepto. Just show up.
why did we replace harmless white lies with therapy talk? i don't need an essay about how you're setting boundaries so you can't make it tonight, just say your stomach hurts

I’ve been having convos with students who want to get into product Every student ends the call saying they appreciate my blunt answers In college I wanted to hear the good, bad, & very bad. We can’t complain about new grad talent and then fail to prepare them when they ask us.

People who butter up and repackage their professional lives to be more palatable: you’re doing a disservice to the people behind you Tell students that the AI tool at work is outpacing you so you feel the pressure to upskill Tell students why you want to leave your FAANG job.

Life is all fun and games and then you turn 25 and start packing vitamins and anti-acids when you go on vacation

A 90 y/o couples therapist shared thoughts on what destroys relationships: Partners ignoring each other's "bids for connection". The partner whose bids to connect are ignored is usually the one who files for divorce. Love is a misused word. What we often mean is... connection.
I remember getting so upset that my ex didn’t ever get my flowers. My current partner doesn’t really either but shows me how much he loves me every single day. He replies to texts. He asks if I’m ok. He plans dates. He will talk to me for hours. And then it hit me. I wasn’t upset about flowers. I was just searching for some signal to know I was loved.

Today is my 25th birthday πŸ€πŸ™πŸͺ· Here’s what I learned from my latest trip around the sun: God laughs at all plans. I created many expectations (most were unmet) for how my β€œKobe” year should unfold. I spent most of the year disappointed. For 25 - I only plan to max out on joy.
