The concept of SUPERWOMAN is overhyped! It’s unfortunate how women still have to strive for equal chances and endure harassment, wage conflict, mansplaining, and much more. There are battles at the workplace, in-home, with society, and with oneself.

Why do only women need to understand the basic maths involved in managing it all? Why do we have to choose between our careers and our personal lives, when instead it could get better by sharing?

Catch our co-founder Ria Rustagi get in an open discussion with Yavantika Malani, the co-founder of ReadOn, on gender differences, unfair workplace treatment as compared to male co-workers, views on feminism, and how their ideology is to bring a change for women out there looking for inspiration.

Is it true that our brains completely stop learning at a certain age?

How late is too late to change one's path in life and begin something new?

Do rejections at work demotivate you?

Is your mental health at risk as a result of a work-life imbalance? Will you dare to prioritize your mental health over your job? 

Every Rejection is a Learning Curve.

Rejection can lower our morale and leave us feeling disappointed. At some point in our lives, we experience failure, give up on learning and trying, and believe it is too late in training ourselves for the future.

It's time to acknowledge, accept and box out your fears by paving your way through rejections.
