In an effort to boost collaboration and encouragement among working moms, either in the home or outside of the home, I've decided to do a #TBT of great articles I've read from around the web since the last Thursday. I would love for any readers to share their favs in the comments section!
Here are some great ones from this week. Enjoy!
"Be a better parent, Have a better career" - @Bruce Kasanoff, LinkedIn
"Many professionals feel torn between their work and personal lives, which is why a few years ago I created a mantra that I can use 24/7: be generous and expert, trustworthy and clear, open-minded and adaptable, persistent and present.
I committed the sentence to memory, and ever since it has guided me to make better decisions, establish more effective priorities, and strengthen my most important relationships. Most importantly, it reduces the tension I used to feel between being a good parent and serving the needs of my clients."
"Ain't I A Woman" Speech, Performed by Kerry Washington, @smartgirls
This is a MUST watch. Transcendent words from Sojourner Truth, 1851.

"Ten Things I want my daughter to know about working out" - @wellfesto
"My daughter’s little brain is making sense of the world every single second, taking in verbal and non-verbal cues about how things work and what things mean. And when it comes to exercise, I want her to grow up seeing it as a joy, and not a utility…as a gift, and not a chore…as an opportunity, not an obligation. I want her to do it for the love of it, not to fit into a dress. I want her to grow up knowing that…"
"#AskHerMore Calls out the questions we wish reporters would ask women at the Emmys" - @identities.mic
"Men, for the most part, are asked about their work (with perhaps a glancing reference to their tuxedos) while women as asked about their outfits, nails, pregnancies, jewelry, shoes, friends and what's in their purse (because that's not invasive or anything)."
"Would you join a multi-level marketing company for retirement income?" - @Forbes
"Having studied the psychology and behavior of boomers, this example represents a major shift in my thinking about the industry. I no longer perceive these types of opportunities as money-making pyramid schemes. Instead, I now see it as a way to enhance many of the personal aspects of retirement that are rarely discussed let alone planned for, with the added benefit of supplementing other popular retirement income sources such as pension and social security."
