But I thought.

grandma you're the only person that knows what the hell they're doing you're the only person in my world who well the grass seems to know what they're doing yeah the grass is always greener you know when you're looking at a woman that's entering into the workforce who's really intelligent you start thinking oh she's gonna have a career yeah she's gonna be a ceo someday and everyone's gonna respect her and while that person's on pills and suicidal and can't sleep and

Well, we're going to get into that.

We're going to get into, I'm sure, like how it's turned out for women, pushing them into the workforce, telling them they can have it all and how they're dealing with that.

But I didn't deal with it well.

When I was at work, I felt like I should be at home and I was missing my kids and like I was really failing on the home front.

And when I was at home, I felt like I should be giving more to work and I felt constantly torn.

And that's something I hear from

Pretty much every woman I talk to who has kids and a job that it's really tough that you always feel like you're not able to give enough to each thing.

You just can't spread yourself that thin all the time.

And I think it's bad advice.

I think we give women backwards advice.

I think we tell them, spend all your fertile years, all your youth.

Building a career, going to school and building a career.

Then by the time you're like 30, 35 and you've got all that established, then you can think about getting married and having kids.

Well, by then you better find somebody quick and get on it because you got a handful of years left, you know, and you might need IVF and all these other things.

And a lot of women struggle.

And it's actually, nobody wants to talk about this.

This is the conversation no one's ready for.

Women's access to higher education is the number one correlate around the world, regardless of economics, race, culture, status, anything, to falling birth rates.
