Q&A with Nellie Akalp When I was approached by Nellie Akalp’s publicist about featuring her story in an interview for my blog, I was immediately impressed.

Q&A with Lainie Sevante Wulkan When I had the pleasure of spending the day with Lainie Sevante Wulkan at the FemCity Day of Positivity a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted to pick her brain for tips for working moms.

Q&A with Priya Nembhard Have you ever seen a man try to figure out a breast pump? Neither had I until I came across this video on Facebook as a special Father’s Day shout out to nursing moms last month.

A few months ago I was casually perusing Facebook and came across a link to a new startup company for women called Werk. The first thing I read on their website nearly knocked my socks off: Work is not working for women. Exhaustion is not a status symbol. We can’t do it all or have it all in an
