Hey, professionals!

We are so excited to share the meaning of the phrase Embrace the Cactus, career impacting advice from Phil Lollar. Join us this week on The Abbie and Abby Podcast, as we learn how to embrace the cactus, a concept he learned early in his career about not avoiding the hard things but rather embracing them. He invites us to remember about where we are in our own story and leaning into the difficult circumstances can change not only our careers but also the lives of our readers. The encouragement Phil offers is even though in life we will have tough times, if we embrace the cactus, we can still find the joy. Finding the joy will impact the way that we get to tell stories. In my work, I struggle to see how just playing with words can make an impact on my readers. Do our words really make a difference? This week on the podcast, Phil recollected and shared how influential sharing stories has been on his audience. Telling our stories, building our careers makes a difference and that impact is our legacy.

Join us Thursday for the conversation where we learn to embrace the cactus and find the joy!
