How many red flags are enough? The job isn’t worth the stress. The relationship won’t work out. The house isn’t meant to be. We thought we found our dream house. But then, one by one, the red flags began to appear. As the months passed under contract, those flags multiplied. We held out hope. We justified. We negotiated. We buried our heads in the sand. Then we discovered we’re having twins. And, we couldn’t ignore the red flags. They were screaming at us. The Lesson: Know your worth and hold your needs sacred. Red flags will always reveal themselves. Whether you choose to see them or not depends on your context. Your intuition is your best guide. Trust it.

To maximize Gen AI's impact, use underlying structures and frameworks. Here are 3 frameworks and prompts that you can try today: 1️⃣ From Maisha L. Cannon: *The BLUF technique*: A practice of communication beginning with the key information and then giving context. “Bottom Line Up Front.” Ex prompt: Please review my email draft and suggest enhancements for clarity and impact. Use the BLUF technique. --- 3️⃣ From Sandhya Simhan: *The PARA Method*: A system for organizing your digital life. “Project, Area, Resource, Archive.” Ex prompt: Help me organize my notes and tasks using the PARA method: categorize them into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. ---- 2️⃣ From Laura Brittingham (Rottingen): *A planning template*: Daily exercise to schedule out the day. “How I’m feeling this week, what would make the week great, and what I want to work on this week to get closer to my goals.” Ex prompt: Suggest some to-do’s based on the How I’m feeling, What would make this week great, and What I’m working on sections 📣 What frameworks do you use to up-level your AI tools?

Wow, the mama-to-be love from my last post was enormous. I want the world of work to be this welcoming. How can we make that happen? I’ll start by modeling the way that I’m showing up. 1️⃣ I understand my patterns  I wake up feeling OK. By 2 pm, the nausea and exhaustion starts to peak and doesn’t let up. 2️⃣ I create boundaries and set expectations I try to be an open book and let people know what works and doesn’t work for me. And, I schedule meetings and heavy brain work in the mornings. 3️⃣ I bring snacks and seltzer Yes, there will be snacks and sparkling water near me at all times. And, yes, I’ll be consuming them (and, hopefully not burping too loudly) through our meetings. #Fempire #CelebratingWomen #ElevateHer

I had been on a roll with my posts. And, then, PLOT TWIST. 1️⃣ You’re pregnant.  2️⃣ You’re pregnant with twins. To say the shock has been real is an understatement. And, I’ve had ZERO motivation or creative initiative until this point to even put pen to paper with my thoughts. I have felt nauseaus 24/7. I have felt exhausted.  I have struggled to get through my current fractional work. I put this out there for a few reasons: 💠 Pregnancy and the struggles that come with it (AND, more importantly come with trying) are so real and are so infrequently talked about out loud.  💠 The way that we work and the way that we treat those that work with and for us has to shift. Life is too precious.  💠 Woman are incredible. Full stop. The work that we do on top of our ‘jobs’ is beyond understated. #Fempire #CelebratingWomen #ElevateHer
