then you are going to need to take it because nobody is coming to give you power.
And just like I said, we are desperate in this world for more women in positions of power right now.

Well, here's the thing.
Let's talk about why a lot of people didn't like it.
They didn't like it because it kind of hit home in this way.
And actually, I would go one step further.
I actually think that work from home culture is killing life and it's career suicide.
That's seriously how I feel about it.
Really?
Yeah, I really do.
Because if you look at some of the kind of like broader cultural trends, marriage decline, the decline in birth rates, like the loneliness epidemic, you cannot like have meaningful connection with people on a Zoom call.
You don't get seen and promoted from your living room.
You can't be like, you know, a good flirt in a bad outfit on a Zoom, like, because no one's getting dressed into it.
Do you know what I mean?
But I'm serious about this.
When you go out in the world, you meet people, you spark connections, you might see, you know, a cute person that you vibe with.
Like, we need to be in person, not just for our professional lives,
but for our personal lives.
And so when I speak about work-life balance, it's because people have made it this default excuse that they should stay away from life.
