I feel bad for women with really big jobs who make a boatload of money. Somewhere along the line, they got the message (from their parents, from their professors, from the culture, etc.) that a high-paying career should be their life’s goal. As a result, from the time these women graduated high school, they began mapping out a life that would reflect just that. They deprioritized everything else and became the powerhouses they were taught to become.

No one told them it comes at a cost.
