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...

Baby or Business? (Read Time: 4 min.)
The more time I spend on this journey to having more children, the clearer it becomes that conceiving a baby and birthing a business have opposing needs. I know there are women who've been where I am, building the business that I'm building, and have gotten pregnant, carried twins, and given birth, all while keeping …
Whose baggage are you carrying? (Read time: 6 min.)
I was reading an article about female breadwinners. 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 …

You married who you thought would be Prince Charming... and you wound up with a frog. He's not as strong as you thought. He's not as smart as you thought.

I remember the birth of my first child (who's about to be 16 years old next month) like it was yesterday. Montgomery, Alabama... steaming hot weather... me waddling around at 39.5 weeks... exhilarated, scared, and seriously ready to have my body back.

Women Breadwinners & Infertility: How to Not Go Crazy Over the Miracle You Can’t Control… (Read Time: 4 min.)
I experienced secondary infertility at the age of 21. That's not what doctors call it when you're 21.

Fast-forward four years and I was pregnant …
