This is the story about a girl who thought she was invincible. A girl who believed she could dodge the need for sleep if the reason was good enough. A girl who, in a time of personal desperation, threw all sense of self-care, health, and wellness out the window as a means of financial survival- and had to pay the price... This is my dramatic way of saying- this week's blog is going about the importance of rest and sleep as a means of remaining healthy and performing well, and that I'll be drawing from my own personal experiences to help paint the picture. Because who doesn't love a cautionary tale, amiright? Our month of emotional and mental well-being at...
We are spending the month of October focusing on mental and emotional well being at work on the blog! If you missed it, make sure you check out our post from last week about increasing your productivity at work. This week we are going to dive into the nitty-gritty, don't-talk-about-it kind of stuff. I don't think there's a single person out there who has never experienced symptoms of anxiety (if you haven't, please email me and tell me what that's like…).

I’m here to help and to show you how much these two coincide. We’re talking terminology synergy. Hot and steamy peanut-butter-and-jelly level concept chemistry. Buzzwords become buzzwords for a reason- they are things we are all talking about and want to know more about. Ergonomics and wellness are not only very hot topics online but they are also incredibly important for employee success- but what do they mean and...
Earlier this summer, someone gave me a great piece of advice: they said “everything in moderation… even moderation.”. I was immediately taken with this mindset (granted, they said this as they were handing me a substantial piece of ice cream cake) and I immediately thought that it could be applied to most aspects of life, especially sitting. I know what your thinking- “Robin, you think about sitting too much just eat the ice cream cake.” - and, yeah bro! You’re right, I do think about sitting all. the. time. I am a chairperson!
