Hi friends!

🌱 Latest from Jeremy

​Quote Collection: Deciding & Committing​

Since high school, I've had a secret obsession with collecting quotes. After spending most of this year deliberating about what's next for me career-wise, I got to a moment this past weekend where I thought "Oh! It's time to end the deliberation and commit to something... even if it's not everything I want it to be." This article is a collection of quotes I gathered in a fit of inspiration!

β˜€οΈ Quotes & Inspiration

I want to give a million kudos to my dear friend and colleague NoΓ«lle Janka who just released her book, Rebel Healing: Transforming Ourselves and the Systems That Make Us Sick! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ I've gotten to see the deep care and thought she's put into this project over the past few years and I'm so stoked to share it with everyone I know. This quote (below) really resonated with me β€”Β I love seeing healing as a step into a new way of being!

Healing doesn’t look like getting back to the way things were beforeβ€”the way things were before made you sick. Healing is seeing clearly what does not serve you, and being willing to switch up anything that is in your control.
β€” NoΓ«lle Janka, Rebel Healing

  • πŸ”‰ The Science of Quitting - We're good at celebrating persistence, but what about when quitting is the right move? How do we honor that choice more? (Occasionally a talk or podcast sticks with me years later. It's been 2 years since I first listened to this and I still reference it often in conversation.)
  • πŸ€– ChatGPT "what do I cook" tool - I made a little recipe-maker tool that lets me enter everything I currently have in the fridge into ChatGPT and ask it to help me come up with recipes. Lifesaver for me!
