CLIMBING HER WAY TO THE BOTTOM
A corporate title and fancy paycheck aren’t always as they seem to be on the outside. Sometimes, when things are portrayed as the ‘face of fine,’ the inside is actually crumbling.

Health issues can stem from burnout and stress, which we carry home from the workplace and can spread into our personal life. Aleah shares her personal journey from crawling being a forward motion, to betting on herself and owning intention in and out of the workplace.
