The Hidden Cost of Chasing Approval Over Building Social Equity The answer often lies in where we focus our energy: Are we seeking approval, or are we cultivating authentic social equity?

I don’t know many of us who lament not being in our 20s anymore. It’s a time of starting – you lack experience, you’re high on ideals, you don’t have the creature comforts afforded by an established career, everything is a “first time” experience. And it’s F*ing HARD. But what those youthful years once afforded was a sense of potential, the possibility of making a difference, becoming part of something greater than ourselves.

Let's admit it. We all know the feeling. There's that first day after a long holiday or right after you've gotten back from vacation-- before anyone even says anything, you've already concluded that you're behind. Whether it's emails or laundry or PTA announcements, you've somehow concluded that you have to play catch up because FOMO has got you in its grip. These are real problems. But they also have REAL SOLUTIONS.
