Attention-Worthy: Volume VIIII
Job searches, answers to your legal questions, and IRL courses that bring you behind the scenes
Hi! Welcome to the June edition of Attention-Worthy. I’m going on hiatus for the next two months to write my novel, so the next edition will go out on September 10, 2025. If you have something you’d like to promote then, hit reply and send me the link. (Anything goes! An article you wrote, a painting you did, a poem you wrote. I want to share it with everyone I know.)

Jenn Walker Wall, of Careers at the End of the World, is hosting a webinar called “What Now?!: Pivots, Self Promotion, and Job Search Strategy for Self-Employed, Freelancers, and Business Owners.”
Here’s how she describes it:
“This webinar is for business owners, freelancers, and consultants who are navigating stalled sales, burnout from constant self-promotion, or simply wondering what’s possible outside of entrepreneurship. If you’re considering exploring full-time roles or want to strengthen your current marketing to weather the storm, this session is for you.”

I am obsessed with the simple concept of stoop coffee and the connections that it created amongst these neighbors (courtesy of

Harpinder Mann released her first book, Liberating Yoga: From Appropriation to Healing, into the world!
Here’s a quick description of it:
In Liberating Yoga, yoga teacher Harpinder Kaur Mann draws from her own perspective as a Sikh-Punjabi woman who was alienated by the way yoga is practiced in the United States but found her way toward reclaiming the spiritual practice for herself. Mann demonstrates that moving away from appropriated forms of yoga and back to yoga's roots is the only true path to healing--both for yoga practitioners who desire to engage responsibly in the practice with cultural appreciation, and especially for folks who have been marginalized who wish to reconnect with their ancestral spiritual practices and reclaim their full identity.
Congratulations, Harpinder!

Lots of library advocacy news + resources:
The 2026 Federal Budget Proposal Shutters The Institute for Museum and Library Services
Leftish Library Reading List - wonderful resources for acquainting yourself with library advocacy and history
A History of E.J. Josey - “During the pinnacle of E.J. Josey’s leadership in the American Library Association (ALA), he fought two systems of institutionalized racism through democratizing librarianship: segregation in the United States and apartheid in South Africa.”

What I’ve been loving on Substack:
Stop Making It Look Easy And Start "Showing Your Work" //

Brionna Ned has a new program called lowercase legal.
She says, “It's a one-time fee slack community for consultants, freelancers, and wellness folks where you can ask me all your burning legal questions and get straightforward practical answers.”
I love this idea, and I wish it existed when I was first starting out.

You know when you meet someone and you just click? That’s how I felt after meeting Tera Stidum (thanks to an introduction from Alicia Wade). Throughout her successful career in media production – from Dr. Phil to Leave it to LeToya – she’s been quietly adding a new suite of services to her resume.
If you feel like you could use an executive life producer to help you hit your goals, Tera is 100% your woman.

I recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with Marian Bacol, a mentor for conscious leaders and visionaries both in the entrepreneurial and corporate spheres.
If you’re curious about your work, the best place to start is The Thriver Lifestyle Podcast. And if you love what you see, you might want to join her in Tulum in September.

Kelly Diels just dropped the most interesting program. It’s called Watch Me Work.
Here’s a short description:
“Shadow me as I set and hit ambitious new revenue goals, strive to add 3,000 subscribers to my list, get booked on 24+ podcasts and get my book out of my head & my hard-drive and into the world...all in the next 6 months (by Dec 31, 2025)
Get an unfiltered, unvarnished, behind-the-scenes view into how culture-making business actually gets built - wins, pivots, picking-yourself-up-when-it-all-goes-awry and the strategic moves that actually matter.”
It starts June 16, and you can learn more about it here.
