Meet Alessia Barabba, our Strategic Partnerships Associate! Alessia has been at VALERIA INC. for 2 years and she is based in Chicago, IL. What is it like working at Valeria Inc.? A fun adventure, because no two days are alike in our ever-changing industry and that’s what makes it so exciting! Each day brings a fresh chance to connect with incredible partners, along with the constant opportunity to learn and grow. I am so inspired and motivated every day by the relationships we’ve built with our partners and within our team. A 9-5 doesn’t feel like a 9-5 when you work alongside such kind, supportive, amazing people. Sunday scaries no longer exist since I’ve joined! What are your hobbies/passions, outside of work? I love anything that expands my knowledge and passion for health and wellness. You can often find me listening to podcasts, reading, trying new recipes, and workout classes. My obsession over the past few years has been reformer pilates – if I could spend most of my free time in the studio, I would! I am also very close with my family (3 dogs included) and love spending time with them. Nothing fills my cup more than seeing them weekly for family dinners, fun outings, or random catch ups! What is your favourite social media trend right now? Sunday resets, ASMR style. The sound of organizing and cleaning is just so calming to me, is that weird?! I also personally like to do Sunday resets so I can start fresh each week. And I love seeing how other people organize and prep their space! To connect with Alessia, please email alessia@valeriainc.com!

Helping You Visually Transform Your Brand Online | Worked with Health Promoters, Harmony SGGZ and Help for Women | Founder of KLMS Digital
Struggling to find that perfect morning routine? (Well, I finally cracked it) Let my journey inspire yours. I hope you find what truly works for you. Stick around for the best part. Here’s my morning routine: 5AM — Wake up and read 6AM — Gym time 7AM — Refresh with tea 8AM — Plan the day 8:30 — Start writing 9AM — Post scheduling 10AM — Meditate 11AM — Client meeting 12PM — Healthy lunch break And that’s how I established my perfect morning routine. ---------------- But what if I told you that’s a load of BS! It’s all a fairytale. Here’s my reality: My day starts at around 6:30, maybe 7. Between wake-up time and 8:45 — It’s chaos. 😂 Here's an idea of how it looks: → Waking two sleepyheads. → Preparing breakfast. → Packing lunches. → Helping them get dressed. → The occasional clothing dispute. → School drop-off by 8:45. And guess what? After today’s drop-off, I took a nap. Why? Because I deserve it. So here’s my nugget of wisdom: Take everything you see on the socials with a grain of salt. Do what works for you. Life isn’t a race; it’s a unique journey. Only a race if we compete with ourselves. With that, I wish you a lovely day. Remember to stay real. Be YOU and people will love you for it. Ready to craft your authentic brand online? Let’s connect. ------- P.S. I’m Khuliso Mashau I help Founders and Businesses— Visually transform their brand online. ------- ♻ Repost if you find this useful. #PersonalBranding #SocialMediaAuthenticity

I help women who feel overwhelmed & want more time for self-care | Founder of the Grit & Grace Growth System
This month is jam-packed with three exciting trips, each with its unique purpose: 1️⃣ A fun-filled girls' weekend away to celebrate my birthday! 2️⃣ Off to the GroYourBiz LTD conference for some serious empowerment with fellow badass women! 3️⃣ And, of course, an international work trip to boost a small business's productivity. If I could sum up my feelings, it would be a mix of excitement, nerves, and a dash of chaos! Here's a peek into the whirlwind of thoughts swirling in my head: ❌ How will I juggle work amidst all the planned activities? ❌ Am I being fair to my husband? ❌ I’ll barely see my stepsons all month. ❌ Finding time for workouts seems like a challenge. ❌ Oh, the dreaded task of packing for three completely different occasions! I HATE packing! ❌ And the ultimate question: Will my fur baby Paco have a new favorite while I'm away? But, I always believe in having a choice: I could let stress take over and feel paralyzed by the chaos, or I could step back, get proactive, and plan to reduce my stress levels. So, here's the game plan: ✅ Prioritize upcoming work and set realistic deadlines. ✅ Communicate and plan with my husband to ensure we're aligned. ✅ Schedule quality time together with a dedicated "we" day. ✅ Communicate the importance of my trips with my stepsons. ✅ Make sure to prioritize workouts and find accommodations with gym facilities. ✅ Minimize packing stress by making detailed lists. ✅ And of course, shower Paco with all the love and treats before I leave! How about you? When life throws you a curveball or you’re feeling overwhelmed by what’s to come, what's your go-to strategy for staying productive and stress-free? Share your tips in the comments below! ⬇

We're founders, of course the concept of "weekends" doesn't apply to us! We're founders of course we don't have fixed "working hours" If you're a startup founder and have spent this entire week hustling, it's important to realise the importance of taking some time off in order to come back with a boost of productivity. This weekend indulge in some of these few ways to unwind: 📖 Read a book, not for motivation , but purely for entertainment 📺 Indulge in your favourite show 🍛Make yourself a home-cooked meal 🧘🏻♂️Try out stress-releasing activities like gardening, meditation and stretching 🏃🏻Go out for a run 🎤Attend a comedy show, dance workshop or open mic And not just on weekends, try to spare at least a few minutes daily to indulge in a small self-care practice - my go to habit is listening to music 🎶 What do you think?

If we wait until we feel like it, we’ll never do it! It's week 2 of Tipton's Tuesday Takeover and have got a great tip to share with you ... Have you ever noticed that the less you do the worse you feel, and the worse you feel the less you do? Hannah Tipton, a volunteer for Acacia shares how you can break this cycle! 🔄 👉 Taking Charge: Our behaviour can have a huge impact on how we feel and it’s important to recognise what behaviours we have stopped doing that might be affecting us since becoming a parent. For example, our routine, taking care of ourselves, hobbies, meeting friends and ‘me time’. It can be really daunting to start to build things back into our week that we used to enjoy. Does it seem like it should be easy but something always gets in the way? 💡 Small Steps, Big Changes: We have found that if you take things step by step it is possible. First, see if you can write down one thing that you used to do that brings you joy or makes you feel good. It could be; having a bath, reading a book or spending time with friends and family. Next, make a plan to build this into your routine. Is there someone else to look after the little one? When are your friends available? . 🔍 Self-Reflection: Ask yourself: “Is this plan realistic?” “Aiming at just one thing at a time?” “Achievable?” 👣 One Step at a Time: Step by step you can slowly start to add more things into your routine that makes you feel good. Remember, the feeling follows the action. If we wait until we feel like it, we’ll never do it! Some content used/modified with permission of Five Areas Ltd www.llttf.com

LSR'22 | LinkedIn Ghostwriter | Content Writer | 5M+ Impressions | Favikon Top 200 | Bridging the gap between Human Insight and Business Success
Here's to raising a glass filled with water or tang maybe! because, I don't drink. I don't smoke. and now, most of you might think of me as boring or somebody who doesn't know how to enjoy weekends. It's easy to assume that everybody would succumb to these allures as if it's a foregone conclusion and those who don't, 'dont know how to enjoy life'. and you're no exception if you think so. When I tell anybody that I don't drink and smoke, it feels like I'm swimming against the current. I mean, sure, we've all seen those movies where the 'cool' kids are puffing away and chugging drinks like there's no tomorrow. But let's be real, that's just Hollywood trying to sell us a fantasy. In the real world, smoking can mess up your lungs and drinking beyond moderation can mess up, well, pretty much everything. I was told countless times both when I got into college and corporate that I'll start stuff after I get in there, that's how you do networking in after parties, right? I get it, peer pressure is real. We all want to fit in and be seen as cool, and you gotta light up or throw back shots for that!? But it's high time we accept and respect diverse beverage choices and not think of people as boring or uncool if they don't drink or smoke because fun is not just waking up with pounding headache or coughing up a lung, it's epic adventures with friends, vibing to sick beats, exploring new places, pursuing passions and whatnot, it has a different definition for everyone. I don't need any external substance to get high! We must not let others control our definition of enjoyment, also, we must respect others definition of enjoyment as well. As far as you love whatever you do, you are enjoying life! :) #linkedincontent #engagement #linkedinengagement #linkedincreators #linkedincommunity #linkedininsights #linkedindaily
