Welcome to the only newsletter in WordPress by women, for women, and about women.

The women of WordPress have been up to some amazing things this week!

This Issue's Wonder Woman: Lana Miro

I’m a Partnerships Manager at Crocoblock, based in Ukraine. I have a background in outreach and partnerships and have completed over 800 collaborations. I’m passionate about books, traveling, and continuous growth within the WordPress community.

What is your mantra?

Slow down and enjoy the process. I've always been a 'turbo' person—replying quickly, accomplishing tasks like a rocket, remembering everything, etc. After a while, I realized I needed to slow down to enjoy life more. This is something I'm still learning. :)

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

• ​ChatGPT, for sure - helps me correct my mistakes, re-phrase for better understanding, and improve my English.
• ​Google Sheets for organizing my personal notes, budget, and wishes.
• ​Clickup for work - task organization.

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

Water - essential drink :D

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

Same; I think water, sometimes coffee and tea are better than any sweet drinks.
