Would Removing the Thought of Having Kids Change Your Life? In my early twenties I had to decide what path to take at the end of my undergrad years, as many women do. I was interested in medicine and becoming a psychiatrist, but was also curious about marketing, advertising, and the working world. I debated what path to pursue endlessly in my mind: weighing the pros and cons. I would be in line at the coffee shop thinking about how much a higher degree would mean to me and my heart would swell at the idea of its attainment, but...

Q: I was recently promoted and now one of my direct reports is almost twice as old as I am. She asked me my age recently in conversation and I gracefully avoided answering. Is it wrong to tell her how young I am? How do I avoid this becoming a greater issue? A: Sounds like you need her to become a bit of an ally instead of a of a foe. Can she offer something to you because of her wisdom or experience? Can she empathize, possibly, with the predicament that you’re in with this promotion or is she angry that...

Amanda Judge did. I learned about Amanda through a mutual friend. It happened a few weekends ago over Pinot Noir at a Malibu winery. Matt, a friend of a friend visiting from out of town, leaned across the wooden picnic table we were sitting on either sides of and said, “I actually know this girl who would be perfect for you to interview.” A clinking of glasses for a “welcome to California” toast interrupted our conversation. Matt didn’t relent, “No, seriously. She’s really cool. I met her in grad school and she started this really great nonprofit. They make jewelry...

I have been off of the Pill for a number of years now because of complications with my moods, migraines, etc. Ok, let me be honest, by complication with my mood, I mean turning into a raging bitch every month. Like a classic Jekyll and Hyde scenario, when I was taking birth control pills, during “my time of the month”, I would turn into an aggressive, combative, violent, and uncontrollable version of myself. With the Pill so adversely affecting me, I began to wonder if I really wanted to feed my body with something that changed who I was as...
