One of the things I've learnt is not to depend on there being a woman in your life to make it work. I love my work, I love my children, I've got wonderful friends, you know, I have a nice life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not saying that if you're working at home, raising a family, that's not work. I want to disrupt the narrative around what it means to be a woman who works. The whole point of my brand is that women should be architecting the lives they want to live.
I have worked steadily since I started, but things are very hard for women and need to change.
I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete.
I have a daughter who I love very much, I hire women, I've worked with women, I've never had an issue with women.
I think there's just an inherent burden of being alive and being a woman. No man would ever admit that, but I think women know it, which is: You know more than men, you know more than most people you're dealing with every day, and you know that's it up to you to make things move forward, and you get paid half as much, but you just do it.
I don't believe I could work as effectively at what I do without the support of my wife.
I've realized how important it is to have women in your life. You get to a certain age where you're like, 'I need women around.'
Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
Women have been such an important part of my life. I try, every day, to be a better father to my daughters and a better husband.
