7 Thrilling Novels About the Secrets Mothers Keep
As a mother, I have kept my fair share of secrets. I have declared “I’m fine” after a harrowing fifty-two-hour labor, where I thought I might actually die. At the end of it, my daughter’s bluish body was draped across my chest, and I thought: What do I do now? I have smiled and talked about the perils of raising a toddler with my girlfriends, all of us tiptoeing around the harsh truth: This shit is hard. Full stop.
Protecting Authors’ Privacy: The Cost of Marketing Our Own Books
I have always loved my privacy. Growing up, I had a lock on my diary and only whispered secrets to those who could be fully trusted. I preferred one-on-one friendships to large groups, and I loved the sense of exploration and independence I had as a child. (The One Thing I Wish I'd Known Before I Got Published.) Back then, if you’d told me I’d grow up to be a writer who had to share, post, and pretty much expose every part of who I am to the world, I wouldn’t have believed you.

I Had a Pounding Headache. My Life Changed After a CT Scan
Over the years, I have been asked this question countless times. I have listened to other authors give some version of similar answers: they just always knew they wanted to tell stories for a living. Well, not me. For me, writing wasn't something I wanted to do-it just became part of the fabric of who I am. I wrote stories. I read them.

How Female Entrepreneurs Can Overcome Barriers And Find Success Post-Pandemic
Winston Churchill once said: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” The optimist in me sees so many opportunities in the world for women entrepreneurs as we emerge from the pandemic. Before the COVID-19 crisis, women-owned 40% of the businesses in the U.S., representing more than 12.3 million firms. As of 2020, these companies employed nearly 9 million people and generated $1.8 trillion in sales.
Why Your Friends or Family Are Not Supporting Your Entrepreneurial Dream
It is more common than you think to have little to no support from family or friends when you start working on your entrepreneurial dream. The moment when you decide that perhaps a 9-5 career is not for you and embark on your big dream, is the moment when you need the most encouragement and support. When you have plucked up your courage to tell your boss, you will no longer be coming back to your job or tell your spouse that you are taking a leap towards your dream.

Review | NetGalley
Review by Diane H, Reviewer Last updated on 14 Aug 2020 My Recommendation What reader is not frightened of going blind? What mother is not afraid of her child going missing? For Bec, a widowed mother of infant son Jackson, both fears are realized in Until I Find You, a new domestic suspense tale. One day, Bec is awakened by Jackson’s screams.

Even after attempting a 30-day sex challenge to hack my married sex life back into action, my husband and I noticed that our romantic relationship still wasn't taking center stage.
How I Taught Myself Mindful Masturbation—and Why You Should Too
It's not as woo-woo as it sounds, promise. By Rea Frey January 05, 2020 Masturbation is my jam. It has been ever since I was a curious kid with a vibrating hairbrush who used to get off and then bury it at the back of my closet because I thought I was going to hell. (I had some real shit to work through, obvi.) Despite my initial confusion about the morality of masturbation, I realized at a very early age the importance of self-stimulation.

I Tried a 30-Day Sex Challenge to Revive My Marriage's Boring Sex Life
I used to have sex. Not some sex, but a lot of sex. Dirty sex. Illicit sex. Sex in public places. (I'll spare you the details.) Then I got married—but we were still having sex. Then I got pregnant—and we stopped having sex. Then I became a mother—try to have sex with me, and I will cut you. Then I became a working mother—and it's like this entire piece of my being was hacked away. In my mind, sex shouldn't be negotiable. It's as important as exercise, eating right, or sleeping.

Social Media Made Me a Worse Mom -- So I'm Going Dark
, before scheduling posts, liking, responding, judging, watching, and conversing with enough people to make my head spin.
