Be the CEO your parents always wanted you to marry! I’m sure many of you get asked THAT question all the time… (the one I heard for almost two decades): “SO, when are you getting married?” Cue the blank stares and awkward silences. 😂 There has always been a huge amount of pressure, especially on women, to get married... and to marry someone successful.I didn’t get married until I was 37. I remember going out to eat alone A LOT in my 20s and 30s and getting looks from people who felt sorry for me. Well-meaning women used to say to me, “it’s ok honey... you’ll meet a nice man someday...” It was rare that anyone ever encouraged me to stand on my own two feet and to have dreams for myself. I saw the limited options my mother and grandmothers had and it fueled my fire to be the CEO of my own life instead of searching for a husband. I eventually did get married to the best hubby jesseitzler, but it was after I started Spanx, built a global brand and became a CEO. 👊 Share with anyone who ha...
