As professional women, the days go by quickly. Before you know it, you're making plans and resolutions for next year instead of celebrating the year that was.

Who would have never wanted to say what they really thought of the office manager, their customers, family, partner or friends? We all hide behind different masks and wear them according to the situations that arise: with the partner we would be elegant, refined, seductive and sensual, while in the office we will be efficient and professional and with friends some cheerful companions who drink and have fun together.

With the rising clout that women have in the economic landscape, we are generating and managing an increasing amount of wealth. Throughout the global economy, women are heading successful start-ups at a rapid rate. In the U.S. alone, females were the majority owners of nearly 10 million businesses, large and small, and oversaw more than 8.4 million employees in 2012, according to the Small Business Administration Report of 2016.

This, coupled with the effects of decades of increasing female participation in the workplace, translates into real financial power. By 2023, women are expected to control nearly $100 trillion, or 38 percent of all wealth in the U.S.

No matter how you slice it, women are warriors. Think about it. Women are hard-wired to be the champions and stewards of those we hold dear. Our families, our friends, and most definitely, our jobs.

Whether you’re a business owner, corporate executive, or work more behind the scenes, our status as women require us to wear many hats. The hard work and dedication we put forth on a daily basis to keep the business going is what fuels the world. And then we return to our homes to feed and nurture our families.

It’s Gets Hard

There are a ton of women who are head of the household. Many of us single-handedly raise our children, keep food on the table, and go to work each day. Not only t...

Have you ever confided to someone about your discontent with your life, only to hear “You should be grateful for what you have?” Or perhaps it is something you say to yourself when you consider where you are in life as opposed to where you think you should be?

It’s the kind of messaging that can drive you bananas.

But we are complex individuals – and we often have A LOT going on. Like an onion, our life on paper may seem good, but peel back the layers and a different story often emerges.
