Hello, and welcome to the first Interoffice Memo of 2026! These 'top of the month' episodes are meant to serve as reminders for important milestones throughout the year so I'm not posting standalone episodes about DST, taxes, or holiday party planning. There may even be a dash of current events sprinkled in from time to time, so buckle up, tune in, and take notes. xo Jess

Ideas for marking Black History (Month and ongoing) in the office from Timeka Green of Heyy HR on YouTube.

Black women to learn from and support with your money, time, and resources:

I, Jess Lindgren, host of this podcast, believe that empathy is not a weakness; it is a strength. The value and worth of every human being on this earth is not up for debate.

I'll leave you with this quote, which is both timely and evergreen:

To all the people still saying they're "not political" right now: that choice is political. Choosing normalcy while your neighbors are being targeted, detained, and stripped of their rights is a position, whether you admit it or not. Comfort is a privilege. Silence is participation. History doesn't remember neutrality kindly. If you can afford not to care, it's because someone else is paying the price.

It's the 100th episode spectacular! I'll do a 'sequentially episode 100' spectacular in late February or early March - stay tuned! xo Jess
