Are you struggling to find happiness at work â or in your professional life? Ashley and Sumi are here with a lot of real talk as they unpack an issue that a lot of us women face. It starts with reevaluating where you want to end up on the corporate ladder in terms of what will provide you with the most happiness.
That can lead to questioning whether you are even on the right ladder â which may seem like a luxury of privilege you canât afford when youâre providing for your family. But that doesnât mean you shouldnât start enjoying life now, because that is what we are fighting for, now â as our hosts so eloquently put it. Itâs about equal equality, and equal opportunity, and as women rewrite the rules, they need to do with some enjoyment in their lives!
What this looks like is having a squad in the boardroom who can call out when you arenât getting validation for your idea. Itâs about transition sentences like âBuilding off of what So and So saidâ that gets you taken seriously as a woman of color in meetings where a âmediocre white maleâ is hogging the limelight.
Developing an authoritative voice, not second-guessing yourself, and taking yourself seriously are some of the tools that we can use to rewrite the rules of how we conduct ourselves, leading to more personal happiness and a resultant shift in the power dynamics. Thereâs much more inside this authoritative episode of Women Rewriting the Rules. Itâs time to be unapologetically yourself!
âIt might actually be more enjoyable for me to sort of âresetâ how Iâm thinking about building my career, that would allow me to feel more happiness in that.â ~ Ashley
âLoving what you do takes effort.â ~ Sumi

Are you being bombarded by people telling you to start a side hustle? How easy is it and are the coaching programs worth it? What should you really consider before investing your money in someone else's course?
Ashley and Sumi are lifting the hood on this Instagrammable world where we see influencers on holiday in exotic locations having these million-dollar earning months. They're urging us to consider whether our planned side hustle is in alignment with our values and whether the investments we are considering making are really worth it.
There's so much to think about before you leverage your idea for true time freedom. It's worth investigating the courses and the influencers thoroughly before jumping into someone else's pyramid scheme. What is your business plan? And what is your marketing plan? How are you thinking pragmatically before buying into the 'fakery'?
Entrepreneurship requires ruthless honesty. Ashley and Sumi are dishing up hearty dishes of honesty in this candid episode of Women Rewriting the Rules. Let's change the statistics of women being successful in business by not falling for all the flashy stuff. Please join us.
"You really do have to think before you get started: do I have a budget? Do I have dollars? And also, realistically, how much time do I even have outside of the obligations that are already in my life." ~ Ashley
"Does your idea have leverage? Or is it solely tied to trading your time for dollars?" ~ Sumi
In This Episode:
Are you starting a side hustle with realistic expectations?Addressing the myth of top-line revenueWhy it can be disheartening if you buy the dream of magic monthly income amountsUnderstanding the difference between a quick win and long-term successHow to investigate an influencer's credentials before buying their courseSeparating the flashy Instagram posts from the underlying realitySumi's shortlived 'career' as a relationship coachDoes your idea have leverage or is it tied to your time?And more!

Thanksgiving has passed but hold on, donât stop giving thanks just yet.
Itâs the holiday season, so youâve probably seen a thousand cheesy posts on the internet, by now, about choosing gratitude or having a grateful heart and the like. Sometimes that does feel like a lot of woo-woo talk when youâre facing the daily difficulties of life, doesnât it? But guys, weâre here to tell you, those cheesy posts are actually on to something.
Science backs this up so roll with us for a moment. This isnât about some fake sense of positivity. We donât want you to go about life NOT feeling what you experience. BUT, hereâs why gratitude is so important:
It actually HELPS you deal with the negative.
Hereâs the thing: we go through life picking and choosing what we notice and what we take in. Once you start noticing what you want to be grateful for, you'll start noticing more and more of them. Itâs like this upward spiral that you create for your brain. And guess what? When you are living that way, you have more capacity to deal with the negative things that DO hit you in life.
When youâre aligned with all the good that's happening in your life, when something bad happens, you're just starting at a point that's so much stronger and so much higher up than if you were constantly focused only on the negative. Listen to this episode for more on the scienceâand the balance between feeling what you feel but shifting towards gratitude anyway.

"Give yourself the grace and space to sit in the reality of life and to fully express it and not force yourself to be grateful or feel happy. But then, with time, look for ways that you can potentially turn some of those negatives into a positive." ~ Sumi Krishnan

- Donât just feel your gratitude; express it
