Taylor Thomas liked thisI could not be any more blessed to have found ML&R when I did three and a half years ago. In that short time I have gone on two maternity leaves and never once have I been met with anything but support. Now I have three wild boys, 4 and under, and I feel overwhelming support and have the flexibility to be present for my kiddos as they grow. I love my career and I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue to grow within my career while being the mom I want to be 💙Taylor Thomas liked thisWe often talk about our core value, “No Success at Work is Worth Failure at Home” and what it means to us as members of Team ML&R. When we share our experiences with one another, it really resonates with us and reinforces our belief in what makes ML&R so special. Hearing what it’s meant to someone’s children though – that elevates its meaning and significance to an entirely new level. When tax partner Todd Miller joined ML&R, he expressed that he was looking for a place where he could ultimately become partner AND be a present parent, and he wasn’t willing to sacrifice either. Four short years later, he was promoted to partner and now, 16 years later, he and his daughters reflect on how the firm’s flexibility and support over the years has allowed him to be the dad he always wanted to be 🥹🫶 📽️: Bennett Creative https://lnkd.in/gFzzU4N6

Taylor Thomas liked thisTaylor Thomas liked thisMental Health Monday – Let’s Talk About It I realized after a few conversations recently that I wasn’t totally clear in my last post, so to clarify, I’ve officially left my role at the Kansas City Business Journal and stepped into something new. I’ve gone back to school to pursue a long-time goal of becoming a therapist, and I’m excited to finally make space for the work I feel called to do. As I navigate this shift, I’ve been reflecting a lot on mental health in the workplace and how we really talk about it (or don’t). So, I’m starting a new series here: Mental Health Mondays. Not because I’m an expert, but because I’ve lived through enough to know these conversations matter. ⸻ Here’s a thought to kick things off: We always hear about how important it is to “take time off” and “unplug,” but the reality? While some companies talk about the importance of unplugging, I’ve noticed that fully stepping away isn’t always as easy as it sounds especially when there’s an unspoken pressure to stay available. If you’re in sales, or any fast-paced role, you’re often still checking emails on PTO, still taking calls, still performing. And the people who go the extra mile, even at the expense of their peace, are often the ones who get praised. But what message does that send about mental well-being? When being “on” all the time becomes the standard, checking in on vacation, answering emails after hours, it’s hard to know when it’s actually okay to rest. Over time, that pressure adds up. It can wear on you, even if you love what you do. ⸻ And just to be clear, this isn’t about bashing any company or management. It’s about having honest communication around mental health at work. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s experienced this, or from managers who’ve found ways to truly support their teams, or even course-corrected along the way. What did that look like? So here’s my question for you: Do you think being constantly available impacts your mental health? If not, why not? And if it does, how have you helped yourself (or your team) take care of your well-being, even when the job demands a lot? Let’s talk about it, because I know I’m not the only one thinking about this. #MentalHealthMonday

Taylor Thomas liked thisTaylor Thomas liked thisBig news: I’ve officially stepped away from the corporate grind and gone back to school to pursue a career in therapy. This has been on my heart for a long time, and I’ve never felt more aligned. I didn’t finish my bachelor’s degree the first time around, but sales took me far and I’m grateful for the experience and all the people it brought into my life. It taught me a lot about myself, and now it’s time for something that feels more meaningful and in line with who I am today. Mental health has always been important to me, and I’m finally making space to pursue it full-time. I’m excited, a little nervous, and most importantly - I’m ready. One thing that’s not changing? I still love making connections and bringing people together. I’ll still be attending events, staying active in the KC community, and serving on the Board of the KC Downtowners, just with a new direction. Thanks for all the support. I’m so excited for what’s next. #TherapistInTheMaking #CareerPivot #MentalHealthMatters #LifeAfterSales #ConnectorEnergy #ThisIs30Something
