The last 2 years have taught us all a lot about ourselves. Quarantine/isolation sort of forced an introspective look at who we are, what makes us happy, and what's important. It also took the traditional 'workplace' and flipped it on its proverbial head. For roughly the last decade, I've had a flexible work schedule/environment where I could, within reason, come and go as I please. Most days were spent at the office, home, coffee shops, and on site with clients for meetings. The beginning of Covid was a breeze. I love the flexibility of working from home and not being tied to one location. After a few months of seeing the same 4 walls, every day -- that feeling of joy dissipated.

Enter Switchyards, a community club/co working space/coffee shop with immaculate vibes and a helluva price point. Switchyards, quite literally, was a godsend for my mental health. Having a place to go, being around people, and forming relationships with others in the community, many of whom are in the marketing space as well, has been the perfect addition to a flexible work schedule.
