your boss is a dick

Your boss is such a dick.

They work you to the bone, long hours, no vacation, they even make you respond to emails at all hours of the day. They make you think about work while you put your baby to sleep, while you are eating dinner, at the crack of dawn.

...but wait, aren’t YOU are your own fucking boss?

so why are you living like this?

Trust me- i know that life. I remember during my Portland Garment Factory days, waking up and going straight to my phone to see what client fire was lit up that day and jumping on the fire-fighting train immediately. Drinking a whole pot of coffee to survive and then a whole bottle of wine to wind down at the end of the day.

I thought I had no choice. That if I wanted my business to succeed, I had to be at its beck and call at all hours of the day. I had no idea that I was the one creating this toxicity.

Then when I got pregnant, I remember the midwife asking me how much time I planned to take off for maternity leave. I said, “well I took 10 days off for my honeymoon- and that went OK, so maybe a couple of weeks?!”

The look on her face will never leave my memory.

I was swimming in workaholicsm that I didn’t even recognize. I loved my work- so it didnt feel toxic, and yet my whole life was out of whack.

Sound familiar?

It doesn't have to be that way! When we work backwards from the life of your dreams, it becomes really clear what is out of alignment and what boundaries, employees, systems need to be in place in order to make that vision come true.

YOU get to give yourself permission to change. YOU have to decide to change. No one is going to give you your dream life except you!
