The odds are definitely better on getting the right job than getting a good partner for life. Someone who will grow with you. Someone to develop memories with. Someone who was there in the beginning. Someone who will be there at the end.
The needs of babies and toddlers were constant and drained the life out my sense of self and my familys relationship with each other.
Being unemployed has so many real and palpable ramifications but there are also psychological side effects which you can only understand if youve truly lived through it.
We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don't like us. Women tend to worry about popularity; it doesn't matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.
I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS, a marriage, and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.

Why don't these companies making big profits just pay people better than $14 an hour? It's kind of simple. When you're making record profits, why not? I don't get it.
Everyday I find myself reminding women around me to know their value. I also have to remind myself.
Don't make your journey through life harder by placing rules on yourself like, 'I can't get married till I get promoted to your dream job.'
After being let go from CBS and looking for a year for work, I will never catch myself complaining about being too busy.
