Our Holiday Hours (& A Reminder About The $250K Club)


Hi Reader,

As I’m sure many of you remember from years past, we're closing our doors for the last two weeks of December. This tradition has become non-negotiable for us, as it’s a time when our team can truly step away, knowing that most of our clients are doing the same.

And, it's how we practice what we preach: Rest and leaning into community are essential for sustainability.

With that being said…

Our offices are closed from December 20 through January 4 to allow our team time to rest before the new year.

We will not be monitoring email during this time, and we will respond to your message on Monday, January 5, when we return to the office.

And for those who need it, here’s your nudge to register for The $250K Club.

Register now for one of the 8 founding spots. This first iteration of The $250K Club will start January 27, and it will be the highest-touch version we'll ever offer with me directly leading it.

If you're tired of piecing together advice and hoping it works, this is your chance to follow a proven system with someone who's guided dozens of women through this exact transition.

A Question for You, No Matter Your Stage of Business

➡️ How do you honor the need for rest, rejuvenation, and realignment during this season?

If it doesn't make sense for your industry to slow down during the holidays, in what other ways can you offer space to your team and yourself during this time?

I wish you ease and joy through the holidays and as we close out the year, wherever that looks like right now. We'll see you back here in the new year—rested, realigned, and ready for what's next.

Happy Holidays,

Renia C. & Team Realign Consulting

Happy Tuesday, Reader! The bro marketers of Big Tech have spent the last decade selling us on the dream of frictionless everything. Fewer clicks, fewer steps, fewer moments of discomfort standing between you and whatever you want. And most of us, if we're being honest, have figured out by now that a life with the friction dialed all the way down is a lot less interesting and joyful than advertised. (Get your mind out of the gutter, we’re not going there today!) For our final week of living at...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! We've spent the last few weeks holding some hard "ands" together: resist and reconnect, Placebinding™ and globalization, scale and sustainability. This week's “and” might be the most defining one of our professional lives right now. Let’s talk, again, about AI and humanity. AI isn’t a technology we get to uninvent. We must learn to live with it. One of my favorite, not-to-be-named app developers and podcasters has been making a lot of noise lately about running an...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! If you've been around here for any length of time, you know how much we talk about sustainability, particularly when it comes to business strategy and the marketing pillar of the Do Better Business™ framework. We believe it's the foundational place every strong, values-centered organization has to build from. Sustainability is at the core of what we do. But I want to clear something up, because I think it's an assumption that follows us around: Sustainability does not...
