"Every woman knows this to be true: When you tell someone your age, you give them the power to decide how you're perceived. No matter your qualifications, people are predisposed to judge what you are really 'worth' to them based on your age. The point of someone asking your age is almost always so that the asker can make a judgement about you based on that age – what other reason is there?" - From her essay in The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women.

29: I’ll Love You Forever (when the time is right)

"I fully expected it to be traumatizing because you see these movies or you read these books, or you hear about the girl from your high school whose whole life changed and she was stigmatized."

This week's episode is a bit of a departure from the usual episodes. An anonymous friend of mine shares the story of her abortion. 

You can listen to it here. 

A warning: This is not suitable for young folks, or for people who are upset by graphic descriptions of abortion. Please, please listen with discretion.

If you're pregnant and need someone to talk to, please feel free to email me at [email protected] I will put you in touch with my guest.

23: Rep. Cyndi Munson on failure and making space for the impossible to happen

(Photo via) 

"For someone like me, I want to fill up every space, I want to be doing everything I can, and really, I was at a point in the beginning of 2015 where I was just tired of doing that. I was tired of filling every block of my calendar. I really felt like I needed to create space to allow the impossible to happen."

This week's guest is Oklahoma Rep. Cyndi Munson! We talked about growing up in a military family, her early career with the Girl Scouts, losing her first election, and more.
