  • When Does It Stop?

    When Does It Stop?
    It is Thanksgiving season, where I try to write out everything I’ve done this year and what I’ve accomplished to keep my perspective. So during my meditation and reflection I came up with the following question: When does it stop? When do I stop taking every single job that comes into my lap? When do ...

    Hello, My Name is Samantha, and I’m Addicted to Work.
    This is about burning yourself out, stretching yourself too thin, and burning the candle at both ends. If other women in this field are anything like me, you really put forth a lot of effort. I mean a lot of effort. Likely more so than your colleagues to compensate for the fact that “you’re ...

    Being The Boss (Even When You Aren't) - Part 1
    A quality leader can make or break any business or project. As the boss, you are the face of the team. What your team does reflects on you, and vice-versa. If you’re unorganized, or don’t know your crew, or have no goals, how can you expect to lead anyone anywhere?
