Work, Rewritten
You already know how to work hard.
Nobody taught you how to navigate the rest of it
soapbox is always free.
full editions from $6/month
Most career content tells you what to do. Nobody teaches you how to navigate.
hard truth
The pivots, the politics, the moments where the plan stops making sense. The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
You've read the productivity books. You've taken the courses. You're still sitting with a goal list that feels like someone else's dream — and a creeping sense that working harder isn't the answer.
Work, Rewritten is where that changes. Not with more frameworks. With the kind of honest, specific, research-backed thinking that helps you figure out what's actually going on — and what to do about it.
Less than a coffee.
Worth considerably more.

According to industry reports, companies spend an average of $954-$1,273
per employee annually on professional development, yet many professionals never use their allocated budgets.
I'll provide a letter to convince your boss and an invoice for professional development funds. Many companies have budgets for this—let's use them.

Hi, I’m Kashia.
I started this newsletter because it's what I needed and didn't have. Early in my career, I didn't understand how work actually worked — the unwritten rules, the politics, the things nobody puts in the job description. That gap cost me time, money, and relationships. I'm writing this so it doesn't cost you the same.
Are you doing everything right and still not getting recognized? Is your stomach in knots every time you have to deal with that one coworker? Are you a new manager terrified of becoming the manager you swore you'd never be? Transitioning into a new season and feeling completely unanchored? Ready to grow but not sure where to start? One bad quarter away from pulling an Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale?
Wherever you are, the throughline is the same: work has an outsized impact on your life, and nobody handed you the manual for navigating it.
This is that manual.
I'm an ICF-certified career coach who has worked inside the environments I write about. U.S. State Department across six countries. Principal Manager at Google. Strategy and Operations at Twitter. I've navigated the rooms, made the mistakes, and done the work to understand what was actually happening. Now I translate that — alongside credible research and real trends — into something practical you can use in your specific situation.
This isn't about becoming a CEO or burning it all down. It's for anyone who wants their career to support their life rather than deplete it. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't. The knowledge exists. It just never gets handed directly to anyone.
Consider this me handing it to you.
