Since Starbucks and I broke up, I’ve been trying out my local Panera. The coffee isn’t nearly as satisfying (or as caffeinated), but the food is waaaaay better. But Panera has provided so many fun observations – today, I’m sitting near a woman snapping (ok, yelling) at someone on the…
That internal track you keep telling yourself about why you can’t do this, or why that can’t work out – it’s noise. We are all guilty of it, but perpetuating the drama and fake barriers are holding you back. Not only with your career but also your life. There are…
