women leaders need to be prioritized in the workplace

Why Many Organizations Don’t Prioritize Women’s Leadership and How They Can Start

As women, we have come to understand and acknowledge how being successful at work can be more challenging for us than our male counterparts. Many women must balance their advancing careers with motherhood, healthy relationships, and personal wellness.

Kakeibo: The Art of Financial Mindfulness

By Gina Messina, Ph.D. About a year ago, a friend introduced me to Kakeibo, the Japanese art of budgeting and applying mindfulness to our spending, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. You see, I am a major contributor to our consumeristic culture. I see something shiny and I think I have to have it.

Women in Today’s Workplace: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back?

The post-pandemic workplace is littered with uncertainty for workers in all industries, especially women.
