Laura Thomas on the Psychology of Mental Health, Motherhood, and Reinventing Her Career
<p>To say "mental health" has been a buzzword the past two years may be a understatement. There is so much that could be unpacked within this simple phrase, and probably just as many opinions about how to improve your mental health.</p> <p>Whether in your professional or personal sphere, I think that most, if not all people would say that talking more about our mental health is a positive. To add flavor to this conversation, I asked Laura Thomas, a psychology instructor with a background in leadership development and counseling, to share some of the themes that she teaches as well as tips on when to seek help, how to better navigate conflict, and how she came back to the workforce after pausing to stay home with her three children. Our conversation is interesting, thought-provoking, and science/research based from a psychology perspective. She also debunks some of the common "pop psychology" that is out there that isn't based in the actual science or research of psychology - who knew? </p> <p><strong>Recommended Resources Mentioned in this Episode:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://lorigottlieb.com/books/maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone/" target="_blank">Maybe You Should Talk to Someone </a>by Lori Gottlieb</p> <p><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us" target="_blank">Psychology Today</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tuesdays-Morrie-Greatest-Lesson-Anniversary/dp/076790592X" target="_blank">Tuesdays with Morrie</a> by Mitch Albom</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/StrengthsFinder-2-0-Tom-Rath/dp/159562015X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=strengths+finder+2.0+with+access+code&qid=1658343456&s=books&sprefix=strengths+finder%2Cstripbooks%2C79&sr=1-1" target="_blank">StrengthsFinder / Living Your Strengths</a></p> <p><strong>About Laura Thomas</strong></p> <p>Laura Thomas is currently an instructor of Psychology at Central Washington University.

From Sketches to the Store: Where Your Favorite J. Margaret Weaver Pieces Come From
<p>Did you know it can take a year or more to go from a croquis or quick sketch of a design to delivering the final production order? While I remember learning about fast fashion giants in business school that can consolidate this timeline down into about six weeks (an interesting, though different business model); small batch, independent designers like J. Margaret Weaver take a different approach.</p> <p>Right now, I'm toggling between real life where it's Summer 2022 and work life where I'm preparing as far ahead as Fall 2023. Planning so far ahead can be disorienting; while I have to envision timelines and events and demand for Spring and Fall 2023, I'm also reminded that it's still June 2022 when I want to sign a check with the wrong year.</p> <p>Coming from the healthcare industry, I had no idea how detailed and labor-intensive it was to bring a design to life. That said, the process is always fresh and fun because it brings together creativity, functionality and inspiration with user feedback. For those of you who have completed a design survey or tried on a sample, your feedback has been invaluable toward bringing an initial idea to fruition.</p> <p>If you're like me and curious how an idea ultimately becomes a piece of clothing in a store, listen here for the 411.</p>
