All of the above. Take time off from work on purpose as well. Speak up if the work is too extreme, take your breaks at work and eat lunch

The little things! Making your bed in the morning, opening the shades, brushing your teeth, skincare routine, journaling, and most importantly - boundaries!!!!

Work less and for yourself if you can. Hard boundaries with work and saying no. Agencies will burn you out for their own gain, many group practices too.

I agree. Especially larger agencies and treatment centers. I actually had an owner of a facility tell me “we don’t pay you to have boundaries.” Took a pay cut and left as soon as I could.

I hear you! It’s a struggle. Boundaries are huge.

What completes you?

Hi! I've been trying to reach the IRS about correcting a name on a return, they won't process my tax return bc of this error. I call the number they provide 800-829-0582 ex. 372 or 772 and when I call i get a message that I need to call the number above. So it's driving me nuts bc it's a literal circle. I've tried calling the number listed on the IRS website and it's only prerecord info. I don't know what to do, any suggestions?

Has anyone recently obtained a VA mortgage loan that exceeds their county jumbo loan limit? I contacted VA to understand my remaining entitlement and was told that even if I sold my current home I couldn’t exceed the county limit in my next purchase. I know he’s wrong because it clearly states on the VA site that if you have full entitlement there is no loan limit.

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

Hello! I’m an LMSW in Michigan with 15 years experience in the field doing case management, supervision, and administrative roles. All of my experience has happened in the CMH or VA health system, so needless to say, I am feeling burned out.

Hello! I was offered a position at the middle of the posted salary range. I exceed every one of the requirements and all but one of the preferred qualifications.

Would it be appropriate to accept the current salary under the terms that I receive an increase once I get that increased licensure status? Thank you!
