I love the month of June—from ushering in the official start of summer to Pride and Juneteenth celebrations filling the New York City streets with joy and community to warm weather and more time spent outdoors, it feels like a natural time to re-energize, lift the spirits, and look forward with a sense of purpose and hope.
We’ve all heard it before: 7-8 hours of sleep a night is important for our health and well-being. So is rest, self-care, and eating balanced, nutritious meals, but when my to-do list is a mile long, and it seems like each time I check off one thing, I add two more, well cuts have to be made somewhere. There are, afterall, only 24 hours in a day. And all too often it’s the sleep, rest, and self-care that are first on the chopping block.

While that should be the end of the discussion, the reality is that women are still being denied this singular, fundamental, basic human right. And it frustrates me that more needs to be said. But it does, so I will.
You should know what you're risking when you give up your financial independence. When I was young, I determined I would never depend on anyone, if I could help it, for my financial wellbeing. And so, I started working as soon as I could, taking any job I could get my hands on: from delivering newspapers to babysitting to dog-walking to working at a dry cleaners.
Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Humor me. Close your eyes and imagine an executive at a successful business. Really picture this person in your head, and don’t filter yourself. There’s no wrong answer here, and this isn’t a test.
Women face more challenges, hurdles, and barriers in the workplace. They just do. It’s been demonstrated in study after study, decade after decade.
To survey the landscape, you would think “ambition” had become a swear word. After a decade of #girlboss #hustle, the tides seem to have turned.
In her retirement announcement, Williams makes painfully clear that this isn’t a choice she particularly wants to make; tennis is in her blood, in her heart, in her soul; it’s defined her since she was three years old; but she recognizes that a choice has to be made between tennis and building her family, because she is a woman.
