Hi. It's me. That (un)acquired employee.

“I am so, so sorry, Rachael.”

I’m no stranger to M&As in my industry…and what happens to many of the acquired employees.

Hi. It’s me. That (un)acquired employee.

Since my tenure at Escalent/C Space was cut short when my position was eliminated, my days have been (mostly) filled with goodness! Some have been passion-filled, others manic. All introspective.

Thinking. Writing. Momming. Creating. Planning. Vacationing. Scheming. Enjoying.

Above all else, there has been one driving goal: Happiness.

I have many responsibilities in life. I won’t attempt to name, or pretend like I balance, them all. But…Happiness! When did it get bounced from shotgun to the car’s boot?

As I navigate moving forward, I’m shifting #PassionsAndPriorities, rebalancing my mental load, and giving my Happiness a chance to drive. At least for a minute. Maybe an hour. Maybe forever.

Watch me navigate this journey. I’m going to call it #UnbecomingProfessional. I’ll be sharing more about my (non-?) work experiences and new ventures, from launching a dream jewelry business to writing, creating, painting…and maybe job searching. Let's connect and support each other in finding our true passions and priorities. And Happiness.

Do you let it drive?
