Ever had a mentor who ghosted you? Or a mentee who treated you like tech support? If so, you are in the right place!
This week we’re chatting about all things mentorship — the good, the bad, and the absolutely awkward. From horror stories of mentors who used their mentees as free labor, to sweet tales of life-changing support, we’ve got it all. And we’re not just telling our stories. Y’all sent in nearly 100 responses about your own mentor/mentee experiences — and we read every single one.
We dive into:
How to find (or become) a great mentor
What mentees get wrong (and how to fix it)
Why boundaries matter more than ever
How to know when you’re ready for a mentee
Tips for respecting time, energy, and expertise
What NOT to ask your mentor (hint: Google it first)
Alissa’s story about “Workshop Wednesday”
We also chat about how mentorship evolves as you grow in your career, and why sometimes your “mentor” is really just your go-to industry friend.
Whether you're craving guidance or feeling burnt out from giving too much of it, this one’s packed with real talk and helpful insights. Mentorship doesn’t have to be messy. Let’s get it right!
If you're feeling inspired (or exhausted) by your own mentor experience, send us a DM and let us know what resonated with you the most!
💬 Key Quotes/Takeaways
