I know I told you a while back that I was traveling and then starting a new role when I returned. So here's the scoop - I started a new full-time job on Monday (October 5th) with a very well-known brand. As I learn more about my new responsibilities, I'll also be checking in with my new team leader and the legal department to ensure there are no issues with my keeping this space active. While you can easily find the company I'm working for if you check my profile on LinkedIn, I'll note that anything and everything I post here is my own and not reflective of any opinions or stated positions of my employer unless I specifically say so. It's really important to keep that separate - I can't speak for another company's leadership, and while I give them my absolute best work, that doesn't mean what I create here suggests that they agree with me or is associated with them in any way at all. So tell me - what have you been up to? Have you learned anything new recently? I'd love for you to share one thing - no matter how small - that gave you an "aha!" moment in the last few weeks.

It's Thursday, and I want everyone to thrive! Let's start by teaching each other some valuable lessons we learned. I'll start. What would I tell my younger self? KNOW YOUR WORTH! I suffer somewhat from "Imposter Syndrome." People compliment me, and I get embarrassed or uncomfortable. I have always questioned whether what I create is "good enough" (even when others tell me it was great). So I guess my real advice would be that when someone tells you that you do good work — believe them! Trusting more in myself would have made me a better thought leader (I'm trusting myself now.) What would YOU tell your younger self?

Greetings, Traveler! You’ve officially entered Level Up Life Skills, with your Wayfinder, PrplJennifer. If you're new here, this post is your starting point. A quick orientation in 4 parts. This is a judgment-free community for adults learning the practical life skills many of us were expected to know, but were never really taught: money, career, self-care, home, and AI as a life skill. You do not need to have it all figured out before you begin. That is literally what the journey is for. 📜 YOUR FIRST QUEST: DOWNLOAD THE SKOOL APP The best way to get the most out of this community is to remain engaged. That's hard to do if the community goes "out of sight, out of mind." So download the app to your phone and put it on your home screen so that you'll get notifications whenever something important drops. Note - Click on the Settings button at the right and use the Notification tabs to set your preferences - I get it; too many notifications can be overwhelming. 📜 YOUR SECOND QUEST: Level 1 Initiation To start earning XP and move from Level 1 Fledgling to Level 2 Skill-Seeker, complete these three quick steps: 1️⃣ Introduce yourself below. Tell us: - Name/Class: Who are you and where are you joining from? 🌎 - Current Mission: What is one "Real World" skill you'd like learn or improve? 🎯 - Current Boss Battle: What’s adulting "monster" stressing you out right now? 🐉 2️⃣ Check the Map. Head over to the Classroom tab and wander around. Pick one quest or resource that catches your eye. Start small and go from there. No need to do everything at once.🗺️ 3️⃣ Support another Traveler. Like or reply to at least 2 introductions. That's how the Fellowship gets stronger, and yes, it helps you earn XP too. 🤝 📈 How XP Works Every like you receive on a post or comment earns XP. As you participate, your title will grow from Fledgling toward higher ranks, and you’ll unlock free resources and side quests along the way. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Membership Paths Standard members get community access, free previews, downloads, select Quests, and scheduled community events.
