In reply to Ann Marie. The older I get the more I'm willing to just go with whatever happens. I used to be more of a planner, but now like to keep things a little more spontaneous. Occasionally, it back fires, but that's life!

In reply to Tara. I think you'll like Tell Me More, and yes, I did like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. There are only 8 episodes, but it is a fun show. I mostly watched it while on the elliptical.

In reply to renee. That would be a great discussion post. I feel frustrated with the amount of work and so little ability to monetize.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. I love the mug one. I work in a profession dominated by women and it's not a good thing. For too long teachers have just agreed to do more and more for little increase in pay. It's frustrating! I think things are slowly changing, but I mean slowly!

Love what you said about meeting people where they are and preparing. I’m also a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants-er. I sometimes try so hard to prepare and so everything just so and it frequently ends up falling apart. I’ve finally started accepting that I work better and am more creative under pressure. It’s probably one of the reasons I became a nurse. I need variety and spontaneity in order to be mentally stimulated but, at the same time, a little more preparation/organization would probably not hurt!

I’m definitely planning to listen to this one, Susie! Side note – do you enjoy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? I keep forgetting about this and feel like I need to make time to watch it!

I have this book but it’s fallen by the wayside on my netgalley shelf! I think saying NO is often the hardest thing to do for a lot of women, myself included. I agree with Sarah as well about the book blogging community, lately I’ve come to realize that I’m doing alot of work in terms of my blog which of course it’s a hobby, but I’m doing it all for free! I’d love to have a book blogger discussion around knowing our own worth, maybe we’d start an interesting blogger conversation

I love the “know your worth” and Corrigan’s “no,” both of which are frowned upon these days…especially for women, but that I believe are critical to maintaining your sanity!

And, “know your worth” is a big one for the book blogging community. We’ve kind of all set our worth at $0 and it’s a shame.

Another one kind of in the same vein is “ask for the F%&& mug!” from Modern Mrs. Darcy. She noticed some people in her local coffee shop got these nice, big, pretty mugs and then heard you just have to ask for the special cups. Her point was women often just don’t ask for things that, if they simply asked nicely, the answer would be an easy yes.
