Step Into the Chai-light?

Your name on the next post?

Jun 08, 2025

Hope you’re doing well! This isn’t a full post, but before I dive into yet another busy chapter, I wanted to send a quick note and share some updates on where this newsletter is headed!

The Upcoming Summer

As some of you may remember from earlier editions, I spent my first MBA semester trying to break into consulting. This week, I’ll be starting my summer internship at OC&C Strategy Consultants, a firm that specializes in retail and consumer work. Coming from a more corporate FP&A background, I’m excited to try something more fast-paced and dynamic — and of course, I’ll be bringing you along for the ride with updates from the summer!

In the spirit of new chapters, I’ve been reflecting on those anxious months (pre-MBA) when I kept dwelling on the future. There was a lot of noise (unasked-for advice) suggesting that I, too, should inevitably settle down, like most around me. In that fog of uncertainty, one quote really grounded me:

"Don't take advice on life from those who aren't living the life you want."

Chai with…You?

While our monthly CwG posts will continue, I’m trying to kick off something new — a guest series! Once a month, someone else will take over CwG to share their thoughts, reflections, stories, or whatever they feel like putting out into the world. (Don’t worry, I’ll still be vetting each post before it goes live.)

Over the past year, I’ve shared so much of myself here, it only feels right to give others a chance. If you’ve ever felt like writing but haven’t wanted to commit to a full-blown newsletter, this is your chance.

Here’s how it works:

Message me (only serious chai drinking writers who will actually send me a draft!)
I’ll add you as a guest writer on a post
Send me your draft
We hit publish 🎉

Excited to read what’s brewing in your minds! Until next time…☕️
