Let’s talk about the emotional chaos no one puts on LinkedIn.

One day you’re crushing to-do lists like a caffeinated legend. The next? You’re staring at your screen in pajamas, spiraling into existential dread over a calendar invite.

Sound familiar? You’re not broken, you’re just remote.

This week’s theme: Your Remote Sanity Check 🤯
Becca shows you how to turn emotional meltdowns into momentum. Sarah? She helps you exit the rollercoaster altogether.

Let’s normalize the mess—and get smarter about surviving it.
