Hi there!

Damn. Work is really hard sometimes. This week, I want to share resources for navigating the feeling of drowning in your to-do list. Potentially, this could be the start of a series on how to navigate the other things that make work challenging like other people and our inner critic.

This week’s letter is more practical. A disclaimer before I dive in: I don’t have all of the answers. Often when I sit down to write these, it’s so that I can tell myself a lot of these things, because writing them down sometimes helps them to sink in. By no means, do I want to be prescriptive in how you live your life. As always, if you like how I am thinking about these things, drink them up like a thirsty houseplant. If you don’t then you can either let it go, or engage with the community and suggest alternatives or ideas.

Hi there!

This is a bonus etter because I want to get this y’all’s input on something.

So here’s the context: I am currently in a phase with my 9-5 where I am navigating some challenging workplace dynamics. It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to scream, or run away, or give up. But I am trying not to do any of those things.

Hi there!

We need to talk about AI. As young people in the workforce, I think that it is fair to assume that AI is going to be a feature of our future careers, whether we like it or not.

Today I want to… (a) break down what AI is as of this moment, (b) share ways that you might use or think about it in your current role, and (c) start playing with imagining what a future professional world that uses AI might look like and how we may be able to use that to our advantage.

Hello!

This may be niche, but I spent a couple of years obsessed with the Nike Run Club app’s guided runs. Coach Bennet would dole out advice throughout the run and sometimes that would be followed with “This is about running, but this is also not about running.”

Well, this week’s newsletter is going to be about working… but it is also not about working.

Hi friends!

This is a long one because I am letting myself ramble about one of my favorite professional topics: networks! Buckle up, buttercup!

Plus — I did the scary thing and posted about this project on LinkedIn so now there are a few more people reading this. It felt thematically appropriate for the week. Welcome to the Cooperative!

Hi there!

The last couple of posts have been pretty heady. I gave you an introduction to Femme Futures Cooperative and waxed poetic about risk (if you want to check those out, all of the newsletters are archived on the BeeHiiv landing site here.) But I want this to be a place for the distribution of resources as much as for the distribution of ideas.

This week, I am going to do a bit of waxing poetic about inflection points, as we are at the solstice, but then I am going to share some practical tools. Just a warning, I get woo-woo, so buckle up. Don’t blame me, blame the stars, or at least the big one that we orbit around.

Hi there!

I started drafting this week’s newsletter as soon as last week’s went out. The energy of taking the leap and doing the thing is so powerful, but gosh was it scary to take the leap.

Before I get ahead of myself though, some housekeeping:

Hi there!

Welcome to the first-ever Femme Futures Cooperative newsletter! (I am excited and nervous and just so ready to start doing this thing.)
