I love the idea of women taking control of their money. It's something that many women are not familiar with, but it's crucial.

When looking for a partner, definitely find someone who has shared values. Really talk to them about what their values are, what their goals are, and how they wish to achieve those goals. Problems always do arise, but when a problem arises with someone who shares your values, you'll know that you'll want to attack that problem in the same way.

It's important to look people in the eye and have direct conversations. I actually have a rule that if an issue takes more than five sentences to explain it, don't send an email. Pick up the phone instead, because it'll take less time to resolve it.

I put my children first, but I always keep my obligations or my commitments. You really have to do some internal work to know yourself, know what you're capable of. See how many meetings you can take a day or how much work you can get through in a day. Give it lots of proper time and respect, but also give yourself the respect of having your downtime, whether that means yoga, pilates, a meditation class, or a cooking class.

I have always admired the way women put outfits together.

I tell girls all the time that the men that have fallen in love with me, have all fallen during a man repeller stage funny how life works out like that.

I'm thankful I grew up the way I did. It made me a hard worker and insightful to other people's lives.
