We all have off days. But there are things you can do to work through a funk and start feeling like yourself again!

On this episode of Career Confessions, I explain why it’s crucial to address it when you’re feeling down, sharing my Petty Corner strategy for venting when things don’t go my way and confiding in a go-to person outside of work.

I challenge you to walk away and give your brain a rest when you’re in a downward spiral, describing what I do to unplug—and why indulging in a few minutes of a guilty pleasure is a better option than pushing through.

Listen in for insight on how your off days impact others and learn how to peel back the layers, identify the true cause of your negative mindset, and get back to being yourself!
