Thank you for starting this bowl. I come from a strict Christian background and it’s becoming hard to reconcile my faith with agency life. I never used to drink, now I am borderline alcoholic. Need 🙏🏼🙏🏼

On their way.

Was just dealing with a close friend and colleague who is battling alcoholism pretty bad so this is a topic close to my heart right now. I’m hopeful though because it was the first time he let me pray for him. It’s going to be a hard climb and one made so much more difficult by our industry. Drinks at 5 are almost more common than late nights

Nothing too great that our Lord can't deal with. I pray OP for His healing grace to pour out on you.

I know exactly what your dealing with. Same to me. But I learned how to balance things because of Jesus. Stay firm! I will be praying for you!

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like?

So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him. I’ve spoken about my faith to work people more than I ever have in my 20 year career. In such a dark time, what a light prayer can be for our coworkers and clients.
