Design Thinking Life Playbook with Maybelyn H. Plecic is a compilation of overcoming life challenges through experimentation.
My podcast Vitamae name translates to "Vita" which means "Life" in the Latin language and "Mae" a nickname my husband Jesenko gave me. I share my life and friends' stories with you to model valuing everyone's stories.
Do you feel like you don't belong, you're alone, nobody understands you, and your life is not what you expected? I hope that after listening to my podcast episodes, you can get to know yourself more and are empowered to live the life you want.

18. Being a Cable Technician
Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "Being a Cable Technician".
This is how I began my career in the technical field. It is one of my favorite jobs and recommend that others gain experiencing working as a cable technician, especially if they are working towards a network engineer background.
Takeaways:
It is a dirty job. You are exposed to the outside elements of weather changes, a variety of homes made of different shapes and sizes, dealing with animals, and more.
It takes perseverance to learn the very challenging process of troubleshooting the unknown. Too many expect that we can see through the walls when in essence we make an educated guess of where the cable routes, the splitters, junctions that we go through, how to navigate in attics, basements, or behind different obstacles to service the cable broadband and telephony service calls and installations.
You will meet many people of different backgrounds.
It is a great learning experience by understanding how to manage your own jobs independently.
I learned to appreciate and gain insights on how to run cables in the homes and how cable broadband and telephony services are installed.

17. Losing a Loved One
Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "Losing a Loved One".
It is my story of my father's passing on April 6, 2021.
Takeaways:
Understanding estate planning such as wills and trusts.
Knowing to ask for help and that it takes time to grieve.
Collect important files and information like life insurance, pensions, and financial details for the widow or remaining beneficiaries.
It will take time to address any properties, services that need to be canceled and arrange the funeral home after your loved one passes.
