The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Society is still adapting to women being CEOs and professionals rather than homemakers. Because of this, the unfortunate outcome is that we feel we have to be successful at both - in the office and in the home. Striking that balance is different for everyone.
The deal is that women have entered the workforce, but they have not been relieved of the domestic responsibilities.
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.
Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.
Workplaces still operate like it's 1962 and one person is always at home, and they are not very good at adjusting for the fact that a majority of women work and take care of children.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
Empowering women in the workforce is a key to growing the economy and having a thriving middle class.
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.
