Healing Our Relationship with Work

Healing Our Relationship with Work

We’ve arrived at the end of S3!

Higher Education Isn't Working

It's no secret that Tiffany and Sean work in the higher education industry. Combined, we have around 20 years of experience so we feel confident enough to come at our industry with a critical lens and tell you what is and isn't working - from actually going to school to working in the industry. Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/notworkingpod/] and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@notworkingpod] and share your thoughts on higher education (or your critiques of your own industry) at hello@notworkingpod.com [hello@notworkingpod.com].

Articles Written by Businesses

We always advise checking in on who wrote an article you’re reading to see what their angle might be, but sometimes even sources we love (NYT, NPR) can write some truly bad material that sounds like it came straight out of the mouth of a CEO. Join us in a rage review of 5 such pieces of content as we break down why they’re terrible. Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/notworkingpod/] and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@notworkingpod] and share your most rage-inducing CEO-voiced article with us at hello@notworkingpod.com [hello@notworkingpod.com].

Labor + Social Media = ?

Sean and Tiffany have a love/hate relationship with social media just like they do with work. For better or for worse, though, it's how we live our lives so it’s important to understand what you’re seeing online as it relates to work and labor more broadly.

Food for Thought (with Emily Denny!)

As promised, Sean and Tiffany are looking to bring more voices onto the pod to share thoughts and ideas about what isn’t working and how we can survive despite that. This week they welcome Emily Denny: a friend and former colleague of Tiffany’s who manages to balance being a professional creative with maintaining personal creativity through her Substack (Food For Humans [https://foodforhumans.substack.com/]) among other endeavors. Learn what she thinks isn’t working and the two foods she simply will not use in her cooking. Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/notworkingpod/] and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@notworkingpod] and tell us how you make working and feeding yourself every day more tolerable here [https://notworkingpod.com/contact/]. Don’t forget to subscribe to Emily’s Substack: Food For Humans [https://foodforhumans.substack.com/] and follow @mother.thyme [https://www.instagram.com/mother.thyme/] on Instagram for “ideas for how to make the Sisyphean task of making dinner bring you joy rather than dread.” (But mainly not recipes.)
