It was hard to narrow down what we wanted to focus on, so we went for the bald, the funny and the bleeding. Read on

Have you heard Rosalynn Carter's quote about caregivers? As she put it, “There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers."

That's what this episode is all about.

Listen in as Maddie and Sarah from @lifecirclespace discuss what's happening on the front lines and why. And because we're all about taking action, you'll also learn what you can do to help. Find this must-listen episode at the link in our bio.

The executive order signed by President Trump doesn't just target DEIA offices – it attempts to criminalize sixty years of progress toward genuine equality. By labeling DEIA initiatives as "illegal discrimination," this order weaponizes civil rights language to dismantle the very programs designed to ensure equal opportunity.

The order's premise that "merit-based opportunity" exists separate from systemic barriers is not just flawed – it's willfully blind to reality. When women-owned businesses contribute $1.9 trillion annually to our economy and federal contracts support $30 billion in economic opportunity, that's not preferential treatment – it's smart business that drives innovation and strengthens our economy.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑵𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘:
While the President has authority to direct federal agencies, this executive order's reach has important limitations:

👩‍⚖️ The executive branch cannot unilaterally change existing civil rights laws enacted by Congress
👩‍⚖️ Attempts to reinterpret these laws, especially affecting private entities, face potential legal challenges
👩‍⚖️ Previous attempts to broadly reinterpret civil rights protections have faced significant judicial scrutiny

Through our involvement with Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), we're committed to keeping you informed about developments and implications of this order.

𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒅:
⭐️ Follow WIPP's updates on policy developments and legal challenges
⭐️ Join WIPP's Advocacy Update on February 12, 2025 for detailed analysis
⭐️ Attend WIPP's Instant Impact meeting on February 20, 2025 to discuss response strategies

True merit means recognizing and removing barriers to success – not pretending they don't exist.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to our Digital Lead, Britt! 🎉🥂

Frank's New Year's Resolution? More post-walk couch naps. That's on #selfcare.
What's your (actually achievable) New Year goal or resolution? #2025

In the ever-evolving landscape of job hunting, you’d think candidates would have mastered the art of interviewing by now. Yet here we are in 2025, and we still witness the same mistakes that made us cringe over a decade ago. Our latest blog post talks about how to stand out in your next interview – and not colossally screw it up.

Per usual - link is in the bio.

It's a love hate relationship.

Peace out 2024. You've been a PIA but we still crushed it.

This holiday season, follow these travel tips from @bode834

🛅 The airport is basically a highway. You wouldn’t stop your car in the middle of I-96, so why the hell are you stopping dead center in the terminal to check your Instagram? Slow walkers, move to the right. It’s not rocket science, people.

🛂 Let’s talk about phone etiquette. Nobody – and I mean NOBODY – needs to hear your Q4 projections while we’re all trying to enjoy our overpriced airport salads. You’re not that important. I don’t care if you’re the CEO of Whatever Corp., use your inside voice or better yet, save it for later.

🛄 Gate lice. You’re so bad; they gave you a name. You are not getting on the flight any quicker by lining up and blocking the entire airport walkway. I now elbow and hit you with my bag when I fight my way through. You suck.

Goodbye til the New Year.

We pitched @copperpeak and @ironwoodmichigan to make the @todayshow Top Autumn Destination list. Read up in our bio and comment below on our PR awesomeness.

From pre-dental to design. Our designer Hannah discusses her unconventional career path on our Happy Hour Hustle podcast.

Just a glimpse into our recent shopping trip with @scholten4congress. We hit up @basicbeeboutique, @sablecandleco, @dimeandregal, @newdesignfloral and ended our afternoon at @_winchestergr.

If you're not shopping local, you're doing it wrong.

Getting in the holiday spirit at the @crestongr Tree Lighting 🎄⭐️

We’re out here serving up hot chocolate with all the fixings. The tree is lit and shining bright. Come on out and join us.

#grandrapids #crestongr #8thirtyfour @newcitychurchgr

Will we be singing? No. Will we be serving up hot chocolate with all the accroutements? Yes. Are we fun? Yes. Do we have 14 trees lit up in our office? Also, yes.

Join us and @crestongr @newcitychurchgr @northquartergr and @bestincreston as at 6:00 p.m. as we light up the 50 foot tree across the street from our office. 🎄

We get some real rockstars that grace our team. From @gv_prssa to an internship at 8THIRTYFOUR and now her "formal" career at @fischtankpr, our former intern @amberlydzimira shares her life lessons, with the most important one being Lesson Two.

Link in bio to learn all the things that make her a PR rockstar.

Public relations is supporting our clients in executing events like ChallengeHER in Fort Lauderdale. From managing AV, stuffing bags, assembling name badges to last minute updates to speakers, the 8THIRTYFOUR team does it all.

@bode834 even got to speak on "Big Deal Energy," and owning your influence. All in all, a pretty successful event for WIPP, @americanexpress, @sbagov and attendees.
