While music, in general, offers much value, having a theme song is a great way to remind us of our goals and keep us trudging along in those difficult moments. Popping in your ear buds and cranking up “your song” reminds us who we are, why we’re here, and what we want to do. It allows us to express our emotions while giving us a much-needed boost to transcend the moment.

It refers to the part of the workforce (more than half!) that doesn’t work full-time for one employer, but instead takes on multiple opportunities from different sources. The term got its start in the music industry. Musicians generally refer to a performance they’re hired for as a gig. That terminology has spread to other industries,…

Our personal and professional lives are constantly changing and evolving. To boot, many women hold multiple jobs.

The pandemic is stressful (that may be the understatement of the year). We have more to worry about and less support to help us cope. It’s no surprise alcohol sales are up, Netflix usage is seeing record highs, and people are over indulging with comfort food. In addition, drug use has increased, with overdoses on the rise by up to 18%. We’re using the things that make us feel good to navigate a tough time. These external things that may make us feel good temporarily are often not good for us and can lead to detrimental addictive behaviors. Healthy spirituality is something that can make us feel good AND be good for us. It can help reduce the likelihood of turning to alcohol, drugs, and…
