Tiffani Jones Brown, host of Remotely CuriousI chose this theme because 1) I burned out from a startup job many years ago and have spent the past seven years learning how to build resilience through self-compassion — I’m even a trained self-compassion teacher now.Also because 2) I hear from so many people who are feeling exhausted by work, and are desperate to learn how to set healthy boundaries.Finally because 3) remote work brings up unique challenges in maintaining work-life balance — we’ve got a lot to learn!

INTERN RECOMMENDATION:

EarBuds founder Arielle Nissenblatt is mentoring four seniors from The Leffell School this semester. They're launching a Substack and podcast called Slapstick Sports. For the next few weeks, they'll each recommend a podcast they're enjoying.

My recommendation is for Secretly Incredibly Fascinating, specifically the Rubber Duck episode. You’d be surprised at how in-depth one could go on the history of the rubber duck. For example, did you know that rubber ducks were a global political symbol for social justice in East Asian countries? Very rarely do I find myself laughing out loud at a podcast, but this show had me laughing on multiple occasions. For anyone looking for a fun and relaxed podcast where they could even learn some cool new things, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating is for you!- Aidan Gurvitch
