Happy Father's Day π 
We're explaining the ambition penalty in @theskimm π₯ β β "The ambition penalty helps explain why decades of educational gains and a lifetime of "empowerment" haven't translated into corresponding gains for women in the workforce, in wealth or in leadership. Because it's not that women aren't negotiating or speaking up or working to get what they deserve. It's that they're doing so within a network of institutions that undermine and penalize them when they do." β β Honored and excited to shine a light on Money Confidential podcast, @statementcards, and @statement_event πͺ β β Because the more women know about what they're up against, the better they can fight back. 
For everyone wondering why theyβre so exhausted -- it's not a blueprint for 2021 π€·π»ββοΈ via @bougiepsychic ππΌ 
MONEY ππΌ you know why Iβm obsessed with it? Because it's a story, struggle, and secret that we all share and need a space to talk about. β β β β When it comes to πΈ, it can feel like everyone else has it all figured out, and youβre the only one with questions. β β But what do you do when your money isnβt where it βshouldβ be? And where do you go to talk about your money mistakes, or to admit what you donβt know about it? β β β β That's why I'm so passionate about carving out spaces where these conversations are not only safe to have, but encouraged. I want to help you out when it comes to money, because a woman's ultimate power is being financially confident, independent and educated. β β Between this page @stefanieoconnell, @statement_event and @statementcards, I also host the @real_simple Money Confidential podcast. So don't be afraid to ask questions, do some digging yourself, and be part of the $ world. You're welcome here. 
How many of you have heard the saying that you are the sum of the 5 people you are around the most? Let's say these people are busy opening businesses, getting promotions, and kicking debt's ass. You want to celebrate their successes and triumphs, right? That's the idea behind @statementcards. I wanted to make a statement π that women are more than the identities and narratives that society pushes on us. We don't just stand in front of the altar, we can stand in front of the boardroom. We don't just birth babies, we can give birth to businesses. We don't just pay for degrees, we can pay those degrees OFF! We aren't one size fits all -- and that's the point of these cards.

Let's normalize celebrating promotions, starting businesses, and paying off debt! Cheers to the ambitious women π₯ 
LIFE UPDATE ππΌ 
So interesting that less than a week after Mental Health Awareness Month, Naomi Osaka was forced to withdraw from the French Open because chose not to speak to the press, citing protecting her mental health as the reason. β β "Though the tennis press has always been kind to me (and I wanna apologize especially to all the cool journalists who I may have hurt), I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak to the world's media. I get really nervous and find it stressful to always try to engage and give you the best answers I can. So here in Paris I was already feeling vulnerable and anxious so I thought it was better to exercise self-care and skip the press conferences.β - @naomiosaka β β Just because you're well paid and at the top of your game doesn't mean you should put up with toxic π© Women and BIPOC especially. β β #NaomiOsaka is a hero, survivor, and trailblazer. β β Thank you for sharing @adriennelawrence 
Another example of the ambition penalty playing out in sports this week (tweet @spain2323) Thanks for sharing with me @jamilasouffrant . Seen any other textbook examples of the women being penalized for their ambition lately? Lemme know ππΌ #ambitionpenalty
