Crying at Work, Jobs of the Future, & Canva Fun!

Published about 1 month ago • 2 min read

Hello Reader!​ ​

After 18 years, we finally need a new air conditioner. We're getting bids from companies this week. After major sticker shock, I'm now just exhausted 😩

Feel

I'm an angry crier. Always have been and probably always will be. But the worst place by far to cry was always at work. Being seen as over-emotional just because my voice would catch, drove me nuts. I still cry when I get really frustrated or mad but now I know how to process my feelings before it comes to that. Most of the time.

I discuss it more in my blog post this week: Why Do I Cry at Work?​

Sophie Deen is the founder of Bright Little Labs, a Warner Bros Discovery-backed studio making AI and STEM accessible through stories. I really enjoy following her on LinkedIn for her posts on jobs of the future for our kids. She explores the skills they will need for jobs like Ocean Gardener, Robotic Veterinarian, and Slow City Builder (where they try to bring more nature and peace to our cities!)

She also shares great online safety issues for kids and information about AI. You can follow her on LinkedIn here and sign up for her newsletter here. I'm going to start sharing the women I follow and the changes they're making in our world!

Build

All of the graphics I create for this newsletter, my logo, and my blog are made with Canva. A friend's sister recommended it years ago and HOURS of creating and building later, I still love it!

The kids have been learning it in school and one of my kiddos made this for their theater friends!

So if you or your kiddos want to create fun and easy graphics, check out Canva!

Thank you for taking the time to read!

Please share with a friend to help the Feel Change Build newsletter grow. More women need to know they can not only feel better but go after what they really want!

Have a lovely day! - Kate

PS - I still have room in my 90-Second Dual Awareness emotional processing course:

Emotional Intelligence for Women Who Don't Have Time for Overwhelming Emotions

You've been told you're "too emotional." Too sensitive. Too much.

Here's what they didn't tell you: Your emotions only last 90 seconds in your body. Everything after that? You're choosing it.

Based on Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's groundbreaking research, this free 7-day email course teaches you the science-backed method that changes everything—how to feel any emotion fully without drowning in it, process it completely without suppressing it, and move forward without dragging it behind you.

Transform how you process feelings using dual-awareness techniques that work in real time:

  • Process rage while making dinner (without anyone knowing)
  • Transform anxiety between meetings (in 90 seconds flat)
  • Release guilt before it ruins your sleep (every single night)
  • Stay functional while feeling (crucial for working women)

No meditation retreats. No toxic positivity. No apologizing for having feelings. Just brain science that fits in your actual life—during meetings, while parenting, in traffic.

By day 5, you'll have the exact method used by hundreds of professional women to break free from hours-long emotional spirals and build resilience that actually lasts.

Feel without apology. Process without drama. Move forward without baggage.

You're not too emotional. You just haven't been taught how to work WITH your neurobiology instead of against it.

Start Monday. Feel different by Friday.

Free. Practical. Revolutionary.

Founder of Feel Change Build

I'm here for women who are done apologizing for their emotions, asking permission to change, and building lives designed by committee. Your intensity isn't too much - it's your superpower. Your thoughts aren't broken - they're just protective patterns ready for revolution. Your dreams aren't too big - they're finally big enough.

Hello Reader! This week I'm exploring why self-care feels like such an obligation. Otherwise I'm trying to soak up the kids as much as possible before they go back to school in less than two weeks. So I only have one category but lots of thoughts on it. Feel My friends were discussing how much they hate the term ‘self-care.’ How it wasn’t realistic, they didn’t have time for it, it was too expensive, and it literally just becomes another to-do list item they don’t have the time or energy to...

Hello Reader! I've been exploring what inner wisdom means to me and in my research. We're also trying to enjoy the end of summer with evening pool parties and golf matches. And taking time to read for fun! Feel I've been struggling with the word wisdom lately. In my writing, I'm trying to describe that inner knowing. That intuition. That gut feeling. You know, wisdom 😂 But I don't like that word. And I can't figure out why. Maybe because I associate with the old mentor in movies like Mr....

Hello Reader! This week, we're exploring letting things go! Everything from past regrets to difficult people in our lives, I've been contemplating how much time and peace I get back when I say to myself, "What if this didn't matter to me?" This week has also been a time to catch up on summer with swimming, bike riding, and, of course, coding. We had a lovely trip to the mountains last week to visit family, but now's the time to live up the rest of summer! Feel I used my 90-second Dual...
