Welcome to "At Work/At Leisure"
Hello, and welcome to the sweet spot between professional growth and personal pleasure.
I've always seen Work-Life Balance as an elusive puzzle that no number of productivity tricks can quite solve. Finding that sweet spot where your career and life come together in harmony has always felt more like an art than a mathematical equation to me, and turning the canvas of life into a brilliant masterpiece certainly hasn’t always the most straightforward of feats.
In a culture that often forces us to pick a side between the rigid boundaries of work and play, this newsletter explores what happens when we embrace play and pleasure as crucial elements of meaningful work. We’ll see how work and play blend synergistically to artfully craft a life well-lived— a life you don’t have to clock in and out of, but rather, a life you can wholeheartedly enjoy.
Each installment of At Work/At Leisure will deliver one succinct tidbit of career advice paired with a generous portion of “just for fun” recommendations ranging from pop culture, fine art, good food, and stuff that just makes life feel good.
What to Expect?
👔 At Work: Diving into the world of professional development, expect pearls of wisdom, actionable advice, interviews, and strategies to help you lead, grow, and thrive at work.
🍸 At Leisure: Switch gears and explore the lighter side of life! From movie recommendations to hobby explorations, you’ll get a perfectly dosed hit of pop culture, entertainment, and inspiration to add some pizzazz to your play time.
We dedicate so much time and effort to our careers with the hope that they will, in turn, fuel lives of purpose, connection, and joy. But what happens when the hustle keeps us from truly relishing our life or work?
At Work/At Leisure is all about uncovering the answer to that question. It's about finding pleasure in purpose, productivity in play, and cultivating pure, authentic joy in the work we do. This newsletter is a place to reimagine the daily grind as hub for creativity and inspiration— a space where the art of living isn't just a concept; it's a reality waiting to be embodied by, well, you.
Thanks for being here,
