Socially Awkward Streams

So, I fell back into Minecraft, maybe.

Who even am I anymore, and what is life?

It’s been a minute since I’ve streamed anything here. The original plan was games… and then it turned into late-night stenography practice sessions (because why not?). And now? Well…

Life happened—in the best kind of way.

• Family and kids.
• Early morning flights and airports.
• Books, books, books. 🎧☕️📖🌶️💥
• Hockey. (Go Oilers!)

Since the last time I was active here, I’ve gone through project management training, studied data analysis, completed a full-stack coding bootcamp, and somehow landed a role as an Implementation Consultant at Omnicell, a medical automation company. The job is a full-time travel job, so I managed to fall off the face of the earth.

Still figuring out what comes next—but I haven’t forgotten this space.

More to come soon (maybe even games, for real this time? 😅)

Obviously, Steno Talk has been going through some changes, so let us bring you up to speed! If you haven't seen us on social media (then you need to follow usssss....), you may not know that we're losing one of our own, Katie Morfin, to pursue her Thrive course and to take care of her mentees; we're so proud of her! She's doing great things for this profession and its students, folks. That being said, we introduce a new (not-so) co-host from behind the curtain... CANDICE! You'll learn a little bit about our producer, now co-host, on this episode of Season 2, and we'll talk about some of the ideas we have for future episodes that we'd love for you to weigh in on.
For ideas, questions, comments, ANYTHING! We want to hear from you: [email protected]

We've also updated our look, and with that comes.... NEW MERCH!

For the "Wheel of Life" exercise mentioned, see more here.

Convention was bittersweet for me... but, it was an absolute blast.

I made so many new connections that I'm so grateful for.

Did you guys end up going to the convention?! We recap our return and adjusting to our lives again and relive some of our favorite moments from the convention. We share some of our favorite quotes and moments, as well as some of the crazy stories from our time in Las Vegas. For those of you who came...

How many episodes could we take up talking about theory? Probably a million, but this episode covers a lot of the common questions we get about theory and which one is the best/worst and everything in between. The truth is there is no "right answer" here and that learning and using a theory that mak...

Guys. One more episode until we start working on SEASON 2.

So why does Anna have sweaty pits this time? Networking is hard. It could give any one of us sweaty pits. Let us take the pressure off and give you some tips for networking and setting yourself apart in this field, and guess what? This applies to both reporters and more importantly students! You guys can and should be networking too! Attend the things. Meet the people. Talk about your goals. Make your own business cards. This will be your career, folks. You want people to remember and notice you, especially at an event like a convention. Also, lean heavily on your local and national associations! (TCRA/NCRA, etc.) Wouldn't it be awesome to get your phone to blow up with job offers as soon as you pass your CSR? N.e.t.w.o.r.k.i.n.g pays OFF.

Court reporting is such a lonely study while you're going through school. In this episode, we talk about how special and crucial mentors are, and they don't go away as soon as you graduate or are done with school. They'll be with you even after you certify, even after you start working! You'll have....
