Hello, dear reader. I find you in the midst of developing a new app and amid November. However you feel about November, for whatever reason that may be, it is likely you will agree that resilience is an essential trait, and when combined with a sprinkle of creativity and some good old Gritz, well, a gal can do just about anything. That may include becoming a freaking laser beam.

What do I mean by this? I am in a hurry to return to code and product development with new partnerships to buoy my float, I will explain my definition and the process of becoming a laser beam here.

Next week I will return to you the second part about attachment from my article last week on attachment styles which you can read here:

This week, we can think about action and focus, which are the two most valuable things when harnessing your good energy for the greater good, whatever that may be to you…

Revisiting a post about resilience…

Against Odds, Decks, and Stacks of Stats

When I was laid off from a tech company in early 2023, close to 200,000 of my tech-worker colleagues simultaneously felt the blow of "workforce reduction" across the industry.

Sometimes, the mountain we set out to climb is just a stepping stone that allows us to see the rest of the landscape: the valleys, rivers, more immense and splendid mountains, etc.

We are bigger and brighter than the labels we give ourselves, the milestones we achieve or miss, and our salary.

If you want to be part of the change, you must get used to being uncomfortable sometimes. You must build the muscle of questioning your own assumptions and, for sure, the status quo.

They say it takes a village to raise a child; a startup is no different.

Two percent is a token. That is the percentage of VC funding that women raise. For women of color, the number is a fraction of this fraction. The pipeline is part of the issue, but systematic biases around what a founder and leader "look" like and many other headwinds are against us too.

So what is a gal to do?

I will become a freaking laser beam y'all.

Why?

My "why" for pouring myself into this internal choose your own adventure?

We must be brave, bold, different, and unexpected.

We are the majority.

I have seen the power of validating someone who does not feel they belong.

I have felt the growth of doing what I did not think was possible for "someone like me."

Your own best weapon is you.

Lean into your unfair advantage and leverage what others consider a deficit.

The status quo exists to maintain mediocrity and comfort and is blindsided by outsiders.

America’s first USDA organic THC gummies

Cornbread Hemp has introduced America’s first USDA organic THC gummies with 10mg of THC, derived from hemp and legal in nearly all 50 states. For a healthier way to experience a carefree moment without the hangover, Cornbread’s organic edibles provide a balanced experience that won’t make you feel paranoid or anxious.

Even with 10mg of THC per gummy, they are legal to ship across America. How? The Farm Bill of 2018 legalized all hemp products with less than 0.3% THC, and all Cornbread Hemp products meet that standard.

Cornbread’s USDA organic THC Gummies are safe, stackable, and shareable for friends and family over 21.

New customers can use code BREEZE25 for 25% off.

Enjoy the moment and take your edge off, this is the good life.
