Paris Hilton's Metaverse #Bet, Women Angel Investors (đSerena Williams), + Wellness and Hustle w/ Shira Lazar
Women in Web3 - Issue #26
Welcome to Women in Web3. Iâm Carly from Weld Recruiting and this is the 26th edition of our weekly get-down!
The theme of this weekâs newsletter (OK - technically itâs last weekâs newsletter)⌠is the everlasting balance of wellness + hustle.
Sometimes itâs easier than others. But during the times itâs not a natural blend, how do you juggle work, life, family, friends, health, all the things? How do you manage when unexpected life events get in the way and shake things up? What gives and what takes?
Itâs a timely question because of this weekâs podcast guest and the conversation that we had about wellness in Web3, where she speaks to these very questions.
But I want to hear your answers too! What work methodology do you subscribe to â the old glamorization of the hustle? The new age of prioritizing wellness and self-care and setting boundaries? Or a blend of the two? How do these lifestyles lend to success + fulfillment?
Iâll make a LinkedIn post this week so we can discuss.
Now for the good stuff⌠scroll through for:
