Do you need a break? From what?

Look, I don’t just need a break—I need a government-funded, top-secret relocation program where I get a new identity, a beachfront villa, and a lifetime supply of lattes. Because let’s be real, life has been coming at me like a caffeinated toddler armed with a marker and zero regard for furniture.

From what, you ask? Oh, just the usual suspects:

  • Emails multiplying like rabbits on a mission. Every time I answer one, three more pop up like an inbox hydra.
  • Laundry that defies science. I swear I just washed that pile, yet here it is again, judging me from across the room like a disappointed grandmother.
  • The eternal struggle of ‘What’s for dinner?’ Apparently, “I don’t know, air?” is not a valid answer.
  • Social media algorithms that demand constant feeding. Like a high-maintenance digital Tamagotchi from the ‘90s, except instead of beeping at me, they punish me with invisibility if I dare to take a break.

But the real kicker? The moment I do take a break, my brain suddenly remembers every single thing I’ve ever put off, every goal I’ve ever set, and every embarrassing thing I did in seventh grade. Ah, relaxation.

So, do I need a break? Absolutely. Preferably somewhere tropical, with no Wi-Fi and a butler named Pierre who only speaks in soothing affirmations. But for now, I’ll settle for five minutes of peace, a latte, and the comforting lie that “next week will be less chaotic.”

Dorey Duncan Scott Senior Litigation Paralegal
Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
