A lot of young women have been asking me for 1:1 advice lately.

Here’s what I tell them:

Get brutally clear on your goal.
Do you want a fulfilling family life?
Or a powerful, independent career?
The perfect balance is rare—unless you’re not the one truly calling the shots.

Don’t waste time on hollow socializing.
When you’re young and beautiful, the invites will pour in—lux dinners, champagne rooftops.
But does any of it build you? Grow you?
Say no to anything that doesn’t move you forward. 
It’s distraction disguised as status.

Do the work that compounds.
Find the right problems to solve.
Experiment, ship, iterate.
Real growth is on a loop, not a pump.

There are no shortcuts to becoming who you’re meant to be.
And everything has a cost.
You just have to choose what you’re willing to pay for.

"Say no to anything that doesn’t move you forward." --> while I agree on this point, so many times things have come from saying yes to life when there wasn't really a reason to say yes to the thing. but it ended up paying off..

this is also true. ultimately, "trust your intuition" has been the best north star for me.
