Welcome to episode 2 of the Dear EverMore podcast! 

Today, we go through our weekly reflection live with you, answering:

• what did this past week teach you?
• what new energy do you want to call in?
• how can you keep growing?

p.s. normally we journal through our prompts ahead of time, but in the vein of being transparent + messy, we wanted to carry this out live with you!

Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram to see each Friday's weekly reflection prompts.

Afterwards, we talk through what we plan to personally learn over the fall and how you can also build your own personal curriculum. At EverMore, we're all about growth, regardless if it's work-related or not, and how getting lost in our curiosity only makes us better humans. If you want the TLDR, here's what we decided to pursue:

Courtney: the concept of beauty and how it relates to "camp." She references a plethora of books + movies (below)

• Books: 
  • Kant on Beauty and Biology (Interpretation of the Critique of Judgment)
  • Essays by Susan Sontag (incl. Notes on Camp, Against Interpretation, On Style)
  • Art on My Mind by Bell Hooks
• Movies: Drop Dead Gorgeous, Heathers, Edward Scissorhands
• TV shows: Pushing Daisies, The Summer I Turned Pretty

Kelsey: the concept of past lives and how hypnosis + psychic readings could help her tap into her past lives.

• Books: 
  • Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss
  • Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore (formerly read, not mentioned in the episode)
  • Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton (added later)
• Past Life Regression Therapy (hypnosis therapy Kelsey is going to try)

Welcome to Dear EverMore, a tool for the performance glow-up!

This has been a dream of Kelsey + Courtney's for years now, and we're finally here with you. As we're developing EverMore (a tool for the performance glow-up and helping individuals own their career story), we'll be letting you into our conversations, what we're building, why we're building it, and how to do the best work of your life. 

During this intro episode, we talk about our September full moon reflections, what we took from the summer, our beef with performance reviews (and how they help no one), as well as what's to come in future episode (like ep. 2 where we'll talk about building our own curriculum for the fall). 

If you want to jump into specific topics:

• 1:26 - our full moon reflections, what we experienced during the summer, what we're building + for whom (check out Kelsey's full article, too)
• 23:29 - finding people who will give you the honest depiction + why we need to spread more positive gossip at work (and in our lives)
• 29:50 - why reflection (and apologizing) is needed more in leadership
• 35:10 - our beef with performance reviews + how they don't help anyone involved
• 40:00 - an intro to "building your fall curriculum" which will be our topic for ep. 2 (so make sure to follow / subscribe!)
