I AM FEELING A LOT BETTER! π₯³ When you are sick, the only thing you can really think about is being sick. Not at 100% just yet but I getting some energy and focus back which is huge.
This week has been great event-wise as well. Supported my friend and fellow Broadway dancer Saya at her non-book tour where she and others told incredible stories. Which made me feel seen more than once. And was a nice reminder that stories are important and can make you feel more understood and less alone.
Also an organization I adore, i.c. stars, celebrated 20 years this week and hosted a tech prom to highlight the occasion and guess who was nominated for prom queen? Had a wonderful time with mom as my plus one and while I wasn't crowned, it was really awesome to be recognized (and I got a cute red sash!). ππ½
In other news, I am doing some anti-planning for the new year and thinking through my word(s) of the year, offerings and more... I could use your help with two things:
1. What business or self-care items can you not live without when managing your side hustle? I'm putting together a Holiday Gift Guide for Side Hustlers and would love your input.
2. Fill in the blank: #jesspicks helps me to __________.
On to the picks!

Marketing Personality Type - I adore personality-based stuff especially in recent years because it helps me understand myself sooo much better. This resource helps you figure out how to market in a way that feels good based on your personality type (I'm an ISFJ btw). You can get some insight on your marketing style for free or you can purchase the full report as well.
π°Fetch Rewards - this app turns grocery receipts into rewards. I earned $5 in points this week and happily used them to purchase a Dunkin' Donuts gift card. Use my code, KK9NC, during signup and get 2000 Fetch points (essentially $2) just for starting. #winwin

I go hot and cold with Gary V but I appreciate his way of removing myths about the content creation process. Favorites ideas include taking screenshots of tweets and turning them into Instagram posts. And how you can create imperfect videos as well. Tip: Josh Spector. π

Love this lesson from my gurl Lynn. And she is crazy talented. Just check out her "Art" page. And it was a good reminder to me too because I've felt a lot of impostor syndrome lately with the two new roles. This helps me remember that I'm a beginner and that's OK because I can still add value in a different way. π€

#jesspicks is definitely a no-box zone. Love this post from Lipstick and Ink about how she feels running her business and her day job and why she loves both. We've become fast side hustling friends online and she is in Chicago too so hoping to meet her IRL one of these days. π
