I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

A fundamental lesson on being fired: Never lie about it. People will know what you're saying is a cover-up for how you really feel - embarrassed, discouraged, and afraid.

If we can't quantify and communicate our value with confidence, the achievements of the tremendous women before us will have all been for nothing.

We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don't like us. Women tend to worry about popularity; it doesn't matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.

At almost forty years old, I assumed my career on camera was over. And I was certainly given that message by all the TV managers and news directors who passed on me when I was trying to get a job back in the business.

Being unemployed has so many real and palpable ramifications but there are also psychological side effects which you can only understand if youve truly lived through it.

Everyday I find myself reminding women around me to know their value. I also have to remind myself.
