Saying goodbye to Somebody Date Us, a dating podcast.

If you’ve been following me at all over the last two years, you may (or may not) have seen that I have had a podcast since 2019 called Somebody Date Us.

What Working from Home Has Taught Me

By Lauren | January 19, 2021 | 0 Comment

If you asked me a year ago if I ever wanted to be 100% remote, I would’ve given you a “hell no”. The idea of working from home, although sounds glamorous and convenient to some, to me, in a tiny Toronto bachelor apartment it did not. I’ve turned down jobs prior to COVID that were […]

What I wish they told me when I was laid off

Nothing really in your life prepares you for losing your job. Back in 2018, I was completely shocked when my employer at the time laid me off (along with hundreds of others). Not only had they just confirmed our jobs were safe a day before, but I never really had a plan, or thought about […]

2020 has been a ride. This was definitely not the year I was expecting when the clock struck midnight, and I rang in the new year on the other side of the world in Uganda. Who knew how much life would change this year? And how much history would be made. As a social media […]

We’ve been now working from home for about seven months now. Doesn’t it feel like an eternity ago when we were all forced into lockdown for only two weeks?
