Remember that little reader survey I asked for your help with at the beginning of the year? Well, the results were magical - as a strategist I'm a total data nerd and the insights from your answers have helped inspire new ideas and refine things as I set out to tackle big things in 2014. So thank you, for real. Thank you for taking the time to weigh in and give me your honest feedback. Without readers, this whole blogging thing would be a lot less fun & I truly value what you had to…

lessons learned from chicago winters.

// photo via BearKillers Have you ever wondered what -40 degrees feels like? I'm not sure I've ever pondered such cold but thanks to the current conditions in ChiBeria, I can now fill you in.

I'm going to be featured as a panelist at the Ms. Career Girl Connect event tomorrow - we'll be talkin' social media and networking, and I'd love to see you there!  The event will also feature appetizers from five of Chicago's food trucks, champagne and a little Stella & Dot shopping.  So if you're in Chicago, you should totally stop by.  It's 6:30-10 PM at Proof (1045 N. Rush Street).

While I had no real plans of adopting a dog (and probably wasn't in the best position to do so given I was about to enter my senior year of college), something in me just instantly knew there was something special about her. She's been by my side through so much over the past ten years - from…

Ask Cait // Q&A V4.

Oh hey there! I'm in Australia at the moment in the final days of a 2-week solo trip around the east coast of the country. As I've shared before, traveling solo is always a time for me to recharge, reflect and reset and the downtime has been really good for me after just how much has happened this year. Admittedly I've been a bit burnt out on blogging after nearly 8 years of balancing a busy career and creating content over here, and have been somewhat amazed by how of a life I could have and…
