Today is my 15th Googleversary. ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I spent some Today is my 15th Googleversary. ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I spent some time reflecting on what Iโ€™d tell 24-year-old Shelly if I could. Hereโ€™s 15 lessons from 15 years at Google. Which one of these hit closest to home? And whatโ€™s the best career advice you got in your 20s? #googler #womenintech #adhdwomen #careertips #corporatelife
๐Ÿ‘พ being hangry between meals isnโ€™t normal. but it ๐Ÿ‘พ being hangry between meals isnโ€™t normal. but it is fixable. your body has two fuel sources: glucose and fat. when glucose drops, your hangry beast panics. it canโ€™t switch to fat. so you crash, you canโ€™t focus, and you need to eat again. thatโ€™s not weakness. thatโ€™s an untrained hangry beast. training it to switch fuels is what metabolic flexibility actually means. and itโ€™s the shift iโ€™ve been making for the past few years. i put everything together in a free guide โ€” how to feed your brain. itโ€™s your starting point for better focus, energy, and fewer hangry moments. link in bio ๐Ÿง  #intermittentfasting #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #fatburning #metabolicflexibility

Being ready looks different for everyone. For me, Iโ€™m glad I was able to spend my 30s learning ways to cope with ADHD. Before I was diagnosed, I never really understood why some of the most basic adult tasks felt so daunting to me. I was scared to have a kid because the thought of having to get them ready for school in the morning and then managing my own start of the day was scary as hell. How am I supposed to get them to school on time? I know I seem Type-A as hell, so it is confusing when managing appointments and schedules feel like the hardest thing in the world. Now I know that time blindness (inability to gauge passing time) and executive dysfunction (poor planning/prioritization) are issues ADHDers deal with. Now I can actually build systems around my weak spots instead of just feeling like something is wrong with me. Donโ€™t get me wrong, I still hate packing with a passion (and having to pack for Baby T on top of it is ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), but knowing these are my weak spots helps so much with my mental health when Iโ€™m in the thick of it. Huge thanks to Auntie Gemini for being my executive function on this trip. Nap schedules, feeding windows, jet lag logic, all of it - so I could actually just be present and have fun.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹ #adhdmom #travellingwithbaby #adhdwomen
this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting helped me lose 15 pounds in 3 months. i stopped thinking about fasting as a way to eat less calories, and started thinking about it as a way to drop my insulin so my body could actually burn fat. thatโ€™s the key insight in lesson 3. before this mental shift, i was counting down to my next meal the whole time. the moment my 16 hours was up, i thought: โ€œgreat! i can finally eat again.โ€ now i sometimes hit 16 hours and donโ€™t even feel hungry. so i keep fasting. not because Iโ€™m forcing it, but because i know my body is burning fat for energy. follow so you donโ€™t miss lesson 4, where I introduce you to your hangry beast and show you how to train it. #intermittentfastingresults #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #fatburning #metabolicflexibility
Iโ€™ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost Iโ€™ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost 10 years. Itโ€™s hitting the ceiling, tipping over, and desperately needs to be turned into a tree. Iโ€™ve wanted to do this for years. But cutting the entire top off a plant Iโ€™ve kept alive for a decade feels... irreversible. Like once you do it, thereโ€™s no going back. Then I spent way too long watching plant people on Instagram do it and finally hyped myself up enough to try. This is No. 23 on my 40x40 list: do something that scares me. Not because the stakes are high, but because Iโ€™ve been overthinking a decision that isnโ€™t actually that serious. Some things feel like a one-way door when theyโ€™re really a two-way door. Worst case? I buy another plant. Did it work? Still waiting to find out. ๐ŸŒฟ #fiddleleaffig #40by40 #becomingforty #houseplantsmakemehappy #plantmom
