They're struggling to be multiple things at once and feel confident about it.

And I think the comparison for women, when especially mothers, I've seen again, because social media, it just is nonstop.

We don't know what everyone's going through.

People are lying.

Yes.

Yeah, that's what life is.

And I love how you said, but I understand that society makes women feel like they have to be perfect.

That's right.

So when it's very uncomfortable at first, when you're like, I'm not succeeding and I'm not doing the best.

It reminds me in your memoir how you would tell your girls to always start dinner even if your husband...

hadn't come home yet because I didn't want them to ever believe that life began when the man of the house arrived home.

We didn't wait for dad.

It was his job to now catch up with us.

I think society puts such a pressure on women to prioritize finding a man over finding a career and a life that they love.

As women, I would love your wisdom and advice of like, how do we prioritize finding fulfillment within ourselves first

before finding fulfillment in a marriage or a partnership?

It's such a good point of like, you know, putting the former beliefs and system onto the new generations because like you even think about it, like why do women have miss, misses, and then miss?

Mm-hmm.

And men never change from Mr. They are.

It is.
