One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Newsflash: Powerful Women Get pregnant too!

on
A few weeks ago I wrote a piece for "Parent Society" entitled, "Pregnancy, Power, and Promotion". It discussed the media response to the pregnancy of Yahoo's new CEO, Marissa Mayer. A lot of writers described the shock and amazement and questioned whether she would be able to balance all of her responsibilities. 

In some ways, it was as if people were surprised that a married women of reproductive age could actually get pregnant. 
 

Leaning in to motherhood...


Perhaps they believed that success interfered with natural biological functions. My friends and I were outraged, which led to my article. Recently, I've been speaking with people who were unaware about Ms. Mayer's pregnancy or the media response. So, I thought I'd share my post with you. 

Please share your thoughts about the story.
