I had the good fortune to be raised by my grandmother––A wise and oh-so fabulous women whose clothes I would sneak and wear to high school after she left for work. My mother was a stunning woman with an amazing singing voice who sang in clubs around town and fancied herself as tough. Together they armed me with just about everything a girl needed to own her own lane, make her own way and get out of anything that looked like trouble. Many of our girls, soon to be young women, lack the leadership of mothers who are at least 20 years older than they are and the wisdom of grandmothers who have weathered life's storms. Many of these girls have fathers who are absent from the home and they are frequently left to fend for themselves. "10 Things" provides young women with the armor to stand protected against the distractions of their modern world, the wisdom to make informed choices, and the resilience to face the wind and walk with pride toward their goals and the life they choose.

There's too much to do, I know. Our life is cluttered with notifications, phone calls, emails, family emergencies and elbow to fingertip todo lists that never end. So how do we cut through the clutter and streamline our lives so we can experience the success we crave and the balance we need to blossom? I've developed 6 simple steps that put you back in the drivers seat of your career and your personal life.
