Do you ever feel like women in finance are expected to do it all? Mentor junior staff, lead the women’s ERG, plan the holiday party—and still hit the same revenue targets as everyone else. I’ve been tapped to join three different internal committees this year alone, while my male peers focus solely on their books of business. It’s framed as “leadership exposure,” but sometimes it feels like free labor dressed up as opportunity. When does all this extra work start working against us instead of helping us grow?

I think these opportunities can be valuable, but only if they’re balanced and recognized. We need to start asking: Who’s benefiting from this work—and is it actually moving our careers forward? Visibility is great, but not if it comes at the expense of our core performance.

Hi everyone, I’m in need of prayers. My mom was admitted into the hospital recently, but they just found some nodules in her lungs. Their default diagnosis is cancer, and she does have a past history of colon cancer. Please keep her and my family in your prayers. Nothing has been finite, but I can’t help but prepare for the worst & hope for the best. The only thing getting me through this is my faith in God. I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️
