Hey sis,
Happy New Month! I hope this month brings you good news, tons of laughter, and resilient moments. This week is super exciting for us at Sisterly HQ. It is *finally* a few days to Ask A Career Consultant Live! We’ve been working on this event for some time now, and it’s here. If you’ve not registered, this is your sign. It will be an exceptional experience. Trust me, you want to be in the room. Not merely seeing all of the immense value on our Instagram stories.
That said, this May, I encourage you to do something that you’ve always wanted to do. What’s that thing you’ve had on your to-do list for months? That application. That business. That conversation. That thing that just popped into your head right now. Do it. Your future self will thank you.
