Hey busy lady

This community is for you.

Find realistic, tactical resources and support for your whole self.

You're right, it's all wrong.

Most personal and leadership development content is fluffy and aspirational. Not much is rooted in reality (you're tired), nothing seems tactical (more platitudes aren't helpful), and a lot of it focuses on symptoms, not causes. That's why we started Waffles Friends Work. We want to provide REAL solutions that address root causes of exhaustion, burnout and frustration—for every area of your life. It is possible to build a life you love, including close, meaningful relationships, a fulfilling career, and a strong sense of self. And we're gonna do it together.

MEET THE Instigators

We're Kara & Jensie

In 2022, we started the Waffles Friends Work Podcast as a bit of a passion project and a way to be silly and hang out together. Sure, starting a podcast and eventually a business with your sister could be potentially disastrous. But we've worked hard to stick to our commitment to only do it if it's fun, and now we are expanding beyond our podcast to provide even more resources and support for individuals and businesses. We're passionate about helping folks live their best lives at home and at work.

THE SIGNATURE

RESOURCES

01

Podcast

The OG! Listen in for our thoughts on values, boundaries, and how to navigate all the stickiness that is our relationships, work, and everything in-between. You can find the episodes on our site or on your favorite podcast platform.

02

Substack

A pretty regular publication that comes right to your inbox. Articles range from bagging on traditional leadership development to leadership lessons from your favorite TV show. It's a bit of a mishmash, but at least it's funny.

03

Slack Community

Want to jump in with some like-minded folks? We started a FREE Slack community for you. Come on over and we'll chat about the latest sticky work situation, what happened on Love Island last night, and anything else that's on your mind.

04

Social Media

Find us all over on the socials. We're active on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We're trying to do better on Threads. And maybe we should stand up a MySpace? I heard it's coming back. Wherever you follow us, you'll get something to think about.
