One of the best things any woman in her 20s can do for herself is befriend awesome women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s+. Seeing constant (real) examples your potential future self means never wishing to be a day younger than you are and looking forward for what’s to come.

Reminder: If a mother’s salary is less than or equal to the total cost of childcare, that doesn’t mean she should quit her job & parent full time. Her salary does not have to compensate for all childcare. Both parents share that cost. It is not on her shoulders.
