Welcome to The Invisible Coworker

Have you ever sat in a meeting, shared an idea, and watched it float away like a paper airplane no one caught? Maybe you’ve scrolled LinkedIn at 3 a.m., wondering if you’re doing something wrong because everyone else seems to be crushing it. Or perhaps you’ve asked yourself, “Is it me, or is work… kind of weird?” If this sounds painfully familiar, you’re in the right place.

The Invisible Coworker isn’t just a newsletter; it’s a safe corner of the internet where we take off our wonderfully crafted “everything’s fine” mask and talk about what it’s really like to navigate the workplace. From feeling invisible during Zoom calls to questioning if climbing the corporate ladder is even worth it, or even thinking "Should I start a blog?", this space is for anyone who’s just trying to figure things out while dealing with calendar invites and multiple existential crises.

This is where work meets life, and we explore that tricky intersection with equal doses of humor and honesty. The truth? Work can be exhausting, exciting, soul-crushing, or fulfilling, sometimes all at once. And if you’ve felt overwhelmed, confused, or just plain over it, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to find purpose in our careers while also holding onto the parts of life that make it beautiful, even if those parts are just naps and an amazing playlist for our new workout routine.

Think of this newsletter as a virtual coffee chat. We’ll ask hard questions (e.g., “Why does success sometimes feel empty?”) and celebrate small victories (like finally logging off on time and getting to the gym at reasonable hours, you know at 6pm). We’ll poke fun at workplace clichés (looking at you, “synergy”) and go over big topics like organizational change, training, and why everyone still uses “best” at the end of emails.

Whether you’re daydreaming about quitting your 9-to-5, just getting started in your career, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here. Because at the end of the day, we’re all just trying to feel seen, even when no one notices us adding “collaboration skills” to the slides.

And hey, you don’t need to have it all figured out to join the conversation. 

None of us do.
