Work/Life Balance is Not a Just for Women

With the advent of birth control in the 1960's, women had a choice for the first time. They could plan their family/career path strategically.

Re-discover Your Inner Child

Whenever I hear people talk about re-discovering their inner child, I have noticed more often than not that it's about connecting with the innocence and joy of childhood.

How Many Hats Can a Woman Wear in One Day?

No, this isn't a riddle! We wear so many hats during the course of one day that it's quite remarkable. How do we do it so effortlessly? Have you ever thought about all the different roles you play? There are probably way too many to mention in one blog post, however, since my intention is to give all women a much needed pat on the back and recognition for all… Continue reading

Workaholism and Success

A friend commented to me the other day that he thought I was a workaholic and it prompted me to think about the veracity of that statement. I do certainly work many many hours so I was very curious to see if I actually fall into the category of having an addiction to work.  I looked up the definition of "workaholism". I found two definitions. Workaholism is a compulsiveness to work. Workaholism… Continue reading | 4 Comments
