Another great post, Ashley!

“It was about taking control of my narrative, managing up, and finding the right allies to unblock critical work.”

I’m glad you mentioned this, especially the part about finding the right allies, because so often it’s the lack of connections/relationships that prevents progress.

This post also reminds me of what you said about how reactivity can kill your career. I’m trying not to take things personally in an “I feel personally attacked” type of way. I want to focus more on ensuring a project serves its intended audience well… rather than serving my ego.
