Listening
To Vampire. Over and over. I’m late to Olivia Rodrigo and need to make up for lost time.Â
Also loving: The BeautyCurious pod with Ian Michael Crumb and Dr. Elyse Love.
Reading
The Body Keeps the Score. A classic of the genre, right? I got it for my Kindle, but this bad boy is pretty dense. Just ordered a paper copy that I can mark up.
A few weeks ago I posted about listening to your intuition as a new manager.
If that resonated, this HBR article, What to Do If You Feel Like You’ve Lost Your Intuition, could be a useful resource.
I would add: Meditate. Write down your dreams. Take walks.
Watching
The Halloween Tree is spooky, cute, and weird. It’s based on this book by Ray Bradbury.
Also, The Love Witch. I think it’s a masterpiece.
Ok. that’s all she wrote.
Thanks for reading.Â

I was just listening to Vampire! She is amazing for being what, 12? And I'm a sucker for cute animated holiday specials - onto Halloween Tree. Thanks for sharing your insights!
