Quick Recap

Hey there, Happy New Year! Usually, this is the time of year when I share a long year in review. However, when I went to write this, it really just came back to I became a mother this year. I went through an extremely personal transformation that I'm not really sure you're interested in reading about. I'm going into 2025 a much different person than I entered 2024. There's been a ton of behind-the-scenes hardship and growth. The highs were high (like meeting my little one), and the lows were low (like health battles). And I'm still in the midst of some big shifts, so the transition isn't over yet. On the newsletter front, we hit 3,000 subscribers and have published 50+ issues. For something that was just supposed to be a little email sharing my lessons learned in operating remote teams, I'm still surprised by what it has turned into. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. For anyone who had an unexpectedly upending year or is in the middle of some big transformations, you are not alone. The unknowns are scary, but you've survived big changes before, and you'll do so again. I'm rooting for you. If you wrote a year in review, please send it my way. I'd love to read it! We'll be back to our normal content next week. If you're looking for something to read in the meantime, please check out some of the top articles of the year:
I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. Hope you have a lovely day! Marissa

Ambition is about striving for greatness and reaching our full potential. Yet, for too long, ambition has been overshadowed by hustle culture - a relentless push to work harder, faster, and longer. Ironically, this mindset often hinders us from achieving our goals by prioritizing busyness over meaningful progress. Enter Human Ambition. This philosophy is for those who dare to aim high but reject the unsustainable grind. It’s about unlocking your potential by acknowledging that we are not...
Six-year-olds have life figured out... or at least they think they do. But one thing you probably did know better at that age was what made you happy. Back then, we weren't influenced by societal expectations, the need for status, or the realities of life. So we dreamed big. We wanted to become singers, astronauts, superheroes, and more. Now, years later, how many of us are in the careers we dreamed up as kids? Not many. And that's probably for the best (being a superhero isn't really...
