Since last Sunday, I crossed paths with two helpful resources I want to share with you. Both were created by other academics I admire, and their wisdom will apply no matter your career. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop apologizing for reasonable boundaries.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first really awesome resource is this substack from Professor Loleen Berdahl\u2019s Academia Made Easy series on how to stop apologizing for setting reasonable boundaries<\/a>. (You will get a pop-up to subscribe – if you\u2019re in academia Loleen\u2019s advice is a game changer! But you can click \u201ckeep reading\u201d if you don\u2019t want to subscribe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a preview, I will leave you with my fave gem from Loleen\u2019s post: \u201cI stopped apologizing when I realized that saying sorry for protecting my health and well-being is ableist bullshit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do we change, when do we stay the course?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second really awesome resource I\u2019m sharing is this vlog episode by Professor Tara Brabazon from her coaching series<\/a>. It\u2019s a longer video so make yourself some tea and settle in! In this episode, Tara speaks about workplace uncertainty and how it can be difficult to know when to flow with a change and when to stick with our goal. She presents ten strategies to help decide. I recognized many of my experiences in this video, and I bet you will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s new and exciting here?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest, most exciting thing here is that the days are getting longer! I don\u2019t know about you, but I am noticing an impact on my mood and energy. It will still be a long time in Saskatoon until Spring, but not spending all day in the dark makes the cold more bearable. In addition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
