After every election she’s covered, Abby Phillip has the same thought: I can’t do this anymore. It’s her mind waving a red flag – and a sign of burnout after months of chaos. Over the years, Abby’s had to navigate a fast-moving digital media world at the same time as some of the most divisive political chapters in our lives. Now, she’s sharing how she’s learned to push through – and the secret that helps her stay grounded in the madness.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Abby also shares:

  • How being a first-generation American influenced her career choice

  • Why she needed to fail at Harvard before considering journalism

  • How she made the most of an uncertain path at the then emerging outlet, Politico

  • The way she reframed getting continuously rejected from outlets

  • How she *really* felt about consequential coverage after the 2020 debates
