Resources for the Distracted & Dog-Obsessed
Welcome to the chaos corner of my brain — I mean, the Resources Page.
Here you’ll find a mix of things I’ve found helpful, hilarious, or just hyperfixated on for a week. Expect a blend of:
- Books for when you’re in deep-dive, hyperfocus mode
- Podcasts for when your hands are busy but your brain wants company – this has been my favorite way to get info lately
- Videos for when reading feels like too much effort and you’re craving something visual and bite-sized
