Quitting Your Job, Valentine's Treats, Empathy in Fantasy, Interior Painting

Quitting Your Job (0:00:00) You know, when it comes to quitting your job, I don’t think it matters if you have a good relationship with your boss or not, or whether you do or you don’t have a valid reason for leaving, it is always an uncomfortable thing to do. So how should we go about appropriately quitting our jobs? Well salary negotiation coach and expert in job interview strategy, Josh Doody, joins us today to share how we can have a positive experience resigning, and how we can even maintain a positive relationship with our employer after leaving. Special Valentine’s Day Treats (0:16:18) Valentines’ day is a celebration of love, and I love dessert! All the pink cupcakes and heart-shaped treats are wonderful to eat, but much less wonderful if you’re trying to eat healthy. Or if your Valentine has special dietary restrictions. Are you wondering how to enjoy your holiday treats while avoiding too much sugar or allergens? With us today is Emily Campbell to help us find the perfect homemade treat. Empathy in Fantasy Books (0:26:31) If you could choose to have a magic power, what would it be? What about if you could choose one characteristic to have? Reading about magic can’t give you magic powers, but it can help you gain empathy. Angie Sage is the best-selling author of the Septimus Heap books, and her new book, Maximilian Fly, was released this week. She joins us to discuss her new book, and how children can learn empathy through reading.
