The housewife stereotype has long since shattered - it's all about leaning in, breaking the glass ceiling, closing the wage gap and more.
Why I Hate Job Interviews?
In a society where it's important to at least pretend everyone is equal, job interviews are a stark and constant reminder that we're not. Well, I suppose it's only constant in my case because I never land the job and therefore, am always looking for another, but my point stands. I find it very reassuring that many of us live in a world where any drunk off the street can shout something at the President about his mother, and the President is forced to feign dignity and walk away with aplomb, or at worst, tweet a comeback 6 hours later in the middle of the night. My heart swells with pride in knowing that regardless of how high and mighty you are, a complete nobody like me can still make your life a bit shitty without fear of reprisal. The freedom to call the President's mother a whore to his face is very much the gold standard for an egalitarian civilization.

Is She a Bitch, or is She Just your Boss?
When I sat down to write this, I had a lot of ideas on what I could focus on, but as I started to outline my talking points I realized that I had way too much to just focus on one thing. As a result, I am going to break this up into the two main points of divergence on how women in leadership roles or just women in traditionally male-dominated fields are perceived, and how we can flip the script and do better.

How My Own Biased Mindset Startled Me Out of My Wits
I’ve often praised myself for attempting to analyze any situation from various angles. I’ve always believed that there are two sides to every situation, just like there are two sides to every coin. I’ve tried to be open to other people’s perspectives, which is difficult for me because I’m a recovering perfectionist.

Not a #BossBabe; Just Your Average Feminist
My Instagram feed is positively brimming with Boss Babe mugs. Is this a side effect of nearing thirty? Or maybe it’s just that after centuries of repression and a lack of basic rights, more women than ever are taking control of their own financial future. You know what, I think that’s it.

Get Paid Thousands to Move to the Country
There has never been a better time to become a digital nomad. Many businesses are catching up to what those of us who have been working online for some time already knew. They are learning that they really don’t have to have everyone come into an office. They can have meetings on Zoom. People can do their work at home just as effectively.
