It's taken me weeks longer than I expected to come back to She Runs the Show. I've been in a mode of self-reflection the past few months... and between all the self-reflection and all the business plan considerations... and a few health scares...

Ever have a moment where you forgot who you ARE? (Read Time: 4 min.)
I haven't posted in the last few weeks. Every time I looked at my blog editorial calendar, I thought to myself, "I have nothing to say." Women breadwinners, female breadwinners, sole breadwinners, women breadwinners and money, love, marriage, kids... so many topics and I had absolutely nothing to say. Nada... Nothing... Not a thing...

It talked about the way in which the husbands of these breadwinners felt emasculated and, as a result, the breadwinning wives carried around with them unspoken guilt about their husband's loss of identity... and it left me wondering: Whose baggage are you carrying? I get the mommy …
