In my last post, I said I was taking a break... before it dawned on me that this Sunday is Mother's Day and I have entirely TOO MUCH to say about women breadwinners and Mother's Day. So... how is it possible that Mother's Day could hurt? It's a happy, joyous day honoring the women who …

Something spoke to me this morning... in my spirit... in my heart... and it said, "Where's the adventure gone?" So I'm taking a two to four week hiatus from She Runs the Show to figure that out. I'm certain I will but, in the meantime, feel free to comment on previous posts. I'll be checking in …

Sometimes, someone will call you bossy and it'll be spot on. In that moment, you'll need to take a step back, reflect, and shift. There are other times, however, when someone calls you bossy and it's not an issue of control so much as it's a matter of you standing up for your needs, desires, …

You run your show. You bring home the bacon. You're the one wearing the pants... and the BOTH of you know it. But, lately, things haven't been easy.
