Preparing for a Recession, Updating Your Resume, Staying Hopeful

Hi friends,

The news is a scary thing to be reading these days. I don’t remember much from high school AP Macro - or did I take Micro? Every day for the past week has been about tariffs and recessions and the Dow. While it would be easy to “I’m just a girl” my way through these conversations, I decided it’s in my best interest to understand the world around me. Ignorance sometimes can be bliss, but being informed is the best thing we can do for ourselves right now - especially as women.

In today’s newsletter, I’ve rounded up resources to help you navigate through the current economic state of the U.S. From understanding how the tariffs will impact women specifically to cutting back on expenses, like girl’s trips, to preparing your resume, I hope you find something helpful below!

Let’s get into it!

• Amy Poehler has been a comfort for me since the first time Leslie Knope graced my screen. Years later, Amy is still providing deep belly laughs, but now in the form of a podcast. Good Hang premiered a few weeks ago and her guests have already included her bestie Tina Fey and the hilarious Martin Short. In the most recent episode, Quinta Brunson stops by the show and talks all things Abbott Elementary! I love when two of my faves link up.

• Bad Bunny’s new album has been on loop ever since its release in January. Benito graced the NPR office to perform at their famous Tiny Desk. The rapper known for his intense love for Puerto Rico brought that energy to the U.S. capital. He doesn’t perform the most popular songs from the album - you won’t hear (all of) DtMF or EoO. Instead his performance includes songs about PR culture and the fight to maintain it amidst 100 years of U.S. colonization. Songs like “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii," speak to preserving Puerto Rican culture. Watch here!
