I think I could write a book about the past few months?!? here’s the setup —
1. CEO sleeps with employee (me, lol) HOURS after confirming her layoff (me, unaware of that)
2. she + all the girlies he was manipulating become besties + trade stories 🙃
Should I…..write this?!
Glad to see
@dankuntz
in his new CEO role.
This was one terrible web of lies & hurt. I’ll be sad for a while for everyone involved, sad that someone chooses to live their life this way — I mean, what an awful way to live😭
Yet, hopeful & excited for all the good to come.
Truly enjoyed my job, what we were doing there, the people I worked/connected with.
Never saw this bit coming.
And I keep thinking — is it really that big a deal? And yeah, it is. It’ll just keep happening if we don’t say anything.
Sharing everything yesterday felt cathartic.
It also felt sad, anxiety-producing, embarrassing, and upsetting.
More so, it felt necessary. If we don’t call it out, it’ll continue.
The number of messages and replies I’ve gotten today of women who have had nearly identical experiences (as early as 2013) with this man is both heartbreaking and repulsive.
Coming to terms with someone you thought you knew treating you with such disrespect is heartbreaking.
Learned so many lessons throughout this and made some really wonderful new friends.
However, realizing a person you once cared for and respected isn’t who you thought they were is truly heartbreaking and irreparable.
The past few weeks have been…a lot.
I’m overwhelmingly sad; that all this has happened. That so many of us feel hurt. That so many of us were used as if we were disposable.
Because we’re not! No one is.
sometimes it can be tough and upsetting to think about the distance between where you are and where you thought you'd be, big-life-things-wise.
right now, for me, it can be challenging to photograph sweet families (something I love) while navigating a divorce.
“There is no point in wasting, because something good can come out of everything.”
Really enjoyed this

on wasting less when cooking 👩🍳
I like to think I’m forgiving, but as I piece together this experience, I’m having an incredibly difficult time imagining that.
So much still unsaid.
Most notably? I’d highly recommend he not slap anyone else in the face without consent.
I was feeling more anxious than I’ve felt in a long time last night. I shared a question box on Instagram asking how people cope when they’re feeling anxious — part curiosity, part desperation, part distraction.
Here’s what everyone said 👇
*replies turned off here for now. Choosing to keep working through it all in therapy (so helpful!) and hopefully less online.
But if yesterday’s thread helps even a single person avoid similar hurt, it’s worth it.
Joining the

I’m immensely proud and fortunate to get to work with such remarkable, talented, and kind humans.
