They say “keep calm and carry on”… but what about when the Wi-Fi is down, the lights are out, and your laptop battery is fighting for its life? 😅⚡️ In this episode, River Lee and fellow VA Tiffany Higgins get real about power outages (and all the chaos that comes with them) — and how to stay professional, calm, and confident when things are totally out of your control. ✨ What we cover: 🔋 What to prep before the storm hits (laptop, chargers, power bank, etc.) 📶 What to do when power is on… but the internet is trash 🗂️ Pro tip: schedule what you can ahead of time (future you will THANK you) 💬 How to communicate with your supervisor without panic-apologizing 🧠 “Triage mode” — how to prioritize once everything comes back online 🕯️ Tiffany’s “Calm Plan” for staying grounded when stress spikes 🏃‍♀️ Backup options: Starbucks, hotel lobbies, co-working spaces, even your car charger 💡 Big takeaway: It’s not about avoiding chaos — it’s about staying calm in the thick of it.
