Career and lifestyle content for the modern, professional woman.
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Weekly Reads! How are you holding up? February is treating me like a dream so far. I am still high on energy and working on my career switch and if you read this post on Instagram you know that I already had my very first Product Manager interview(!). I am sure this is the […]
Welcome to the first February Weekly Reads. I can’t believe that January is over. The month flew by for me but it was also packed with quite a few good things. I did a recap of my January highlights on Instagram and among them are: I started actively working on my career change (which I was thinking about for a while) and […]
Continuing to work through my 2021 reading list, I am ready to share my review of the second book I read in January. Same as the first book I’ve read in 2020 (see review here), it’s also a book on the topic of health, but this time specifically focused on women’s health. As I shared in the past, accumulating knowledge on this […]
How was last week for you? I am still running on good January energy and am quite enjoying it. I love that I am still going strong on my 30 day yoga journey Home from Yoga with Adriene and am currently at day 24. The daily sessions are rather gentle and I often end up complementing them with a strength workout or a […]
As I shared in my 2021 reading list post, I have a goal for this year: to make my way through the 21 books on the list. That amounts to reading about two books a month, which seems doable. To keep myself accountable I thought of also sharing reviews of the books as I finish them and hopefully also inspire […]
How was the first work week of the year? Luckily, I had a good one, with a mild workload – most of my clients were still with half a leg on holidays – which means I could ease back into the rhythm gently, and I could also focus my energy on some prep work to help start the year on […]
I have to start this post by saying that the name of the post “21 books to read in 2021” was not planned. It just ended up this way. I actually had 22 books on my 2021 reading list but I was too eager to get started on it, so I read Bob Iger’s “The Ride of a Lifetime” in […]
Welcome to the first Weekly Reads of 2021! I hope you’ve had a wonderful break close to your loved ones – whether physically or via Zoom – and got to rest and recharge your batteries for the start of the year. I’ve had a truly magical time. It was just the two of us celebrating but we built a festive […]
2020 was a different year for most of us. A static year. A painful year. A year of loss. A year far from loved ones. A year when plans had to be put on hold. However, 2020 was also a year of rediscoveries. A year of growing inward. A year of change. A year of resilience. A year of hope. […]
Here we are, closing the year and I am finally sharing the books I read in 2020 – because yes, I managed to read a few; not many, but a few. My goal this year was to read 12 books. Well, while I am closing the year with only 8 books and a half, I am still quite pleased with […]
Not to brag, but throughout 2020 quite a few memorable pieces of advice have been linked and shared in the Weekly Reads. With the year wrapping up, I thought I would put together the list of the best career advice I’ve read (and shared) throughout the year. Below are the pieces of career advice that impacted me most and that I […]
This week I am off work, spending the Christmas week relaxing at home and enjoying the Christmas tree. I am also very much looking forward to opening all the gifts that have been sitting under the tree for almost a month now and my patience is running low (we did our Christmas shopping early this year). If you are still […]
Over the weekend I did a bit of a blog refresh – which, if you are reading this post you might have noticed – and I am quite happy with it. I think it became easier to read and also much faster. Let me know in the comments if you have any feedback! The weekend also brought us news of […]
I take my Christmas gifting duty seriously. I absolutely love gifting to my loved ones and of course, every year I spend hours doing research for getting the perfect gift(s) for my partner. I usually end up reading through dozens of gift guides for men every year, and I always end up thinking how predictable they are and how little […]
Is it a bit late for a Christmas gift guide? It might be. Have I already gotten all my Christmas gift shopping in and now I am just comfortably talking? I might. Nonetheless, we are only halfway through our Advent calendars so if you still want to get something special for your loved ones, you have plenty of time. As you […]
