I survived

5/15 Edited to

... Read moreSurviving tough times often requires more than just resilience; it calls for a positive mindset and a good sense of humor. From personal experience, leaning on humor—like sharing dad jokes—helps to alleviate stress and build connections. It’s fascinating how laughter can be a powerful tool in overcoming fears and anxieties. The phrase "Faith over Fear" resonates deeply because choosing to believe in better outcomes empowers us to push through challenges with courage. Whether it's a difficult day at work, facing rejection, or managing personal struggles, injecting comedy and light moments can transform our outlook. One memorable moment for me involved a particularly stressful week where I kept myself grounded by sharing simple, funny jokes with friends and family. This not only lifted my spirits but also created a network of mutual support that reminded me I wasn't alone. Incorporating humor into daily life, especially in the face of adversity, is more than just entertainment—it's a survival strategy. So next time you feel overwhelmed, try to find a joke or a funny story to share. It might just be the faith you need to overcome fear and thrive.

How I survived nursing school
I went into nursing school expecting it to be hard but nursing school is a whole other level. Be teachable. You may be smart but everyone in there got in because their academics matched yours. Even if you’ve been a cna, even if you’ve worked in health care, even if you have made it half way through

I SURVIVED MY PROBATION BC OF THESE EMAIL METRICS
After 4+ years in email marketing (now 6 months as an Email Marketing Manager), here’s what I’d do differently to grow faster: 1. Stop obsessing over click-through-rate and conversions. Some campaigns are about list growth or awareness, so not every email has to “sell.” 2. Keep a wins folder.
