Shouldn’t It Be Called Women’s INequality Day?
Issue 239 - August 28, 2023
Last night, attending an Angel City Football Club soccer game (they won 3–1!), I had a tearing up moment chatting with a woman I happened to be standing next to. She had come down to Los Angeles from the Bay Area to bring her two elementary school aged daughters to the game. She said, “Can you imagine? We never got to see anything like this. The women’s team, owned by women, run by women, supported by so many women?”
I looked at her girls cheering away, waving their Angel City scarves, and felt so proud of how far we have come on the long road to equality.

Women Build Wealth: Why, How, and Now Panel
True confession — I went through most of my career without thinking about why and how I should be building wealth for my own life and my children. I was just glad to have work I felt passionate about and a paycheck (for which I didn’t know to negotiate!) deposited in my bank account. But now I’m at a stage of life where it would be really nice to have been more intentional about my finances.
Does this sound like you? Are you more astute than me and looking to grow your wealth, but not sure how? Are you unsure about your financial goals but want to learn from and be inspired by women who can provide the insights you need?

Why I Hate Events and Why We Do Them Anyway
Issue 237 — August 7, 2023
I break out in a cold sweat when people say the word “event.”
There are so many moving parts to putting on a valuable and memorable conference — and why would you do one if it weren’t valuable and meaningful? The logistics alone break my head, and there are always dozens of opinions about who to invite to speak and perform, where to have it, what to have for lunch — you name it.
