    Episode 112: How I failed at Entrepreneurship

    Episode 112: How I failed at Entrepreneurship

    Hello wonderful people. On today's episode, I delve into how I failed at entrepreneurship three times- and counting. I don't think we hear enough information on how entrepreneuship is difficult, frustrating, and a constant failure. This isn't an episode where I tell you it gets better and to keep going. It's an episode where I tell you honestly how difficult this journey has been. It has cost me thousands of dollars, put my relationship in jeopardy, and has made me feel deflated. Sometimes I don't know if this is meant for me. Nonetheless, I always want to share with you every aspect of this life. Please take a listen and thank you for supporting.



    Also, I have listened to your messages and comments. It is great to hear from you and know you are not alone. I feel the same way that many of you feel. You are amazing.

    Episode 110: Being Great in Your 30s is a Lie

    Episode 110: Being Great in Your 30s is a Lie

    Hello everyone! This is Ashley from Stacks and the City and I want to share with you why I feel like the information that radiates social media on our 30s is 100% a lie: and here's why:



    Lie #1: You're so much more confident in the way you look.

    NOT TRUE AT ALLLL- especially when you factor having children, weight gain, and this strange new word: collagen. There's even more pressure to market to women based on us "aging". Between that and seeing yourself look slightly different than you did before it's tough!!!



    Lie #2: You Career Starts to Thrive

    Can I share a secret? I have never had a promotion in my life- EVER. As a result, my career is not as popping as I'd want. Between not pursuring graduate education and (unsuccessfully) pursuing entrprenuership twice, I'm feeling a little defeated.



    Lie #3: Meaningful Relationships:

    The most interesting part of being in your 30s is the relationships you have continue to shift and (sometimes) erode. Between your friends becoming more insular with their families, and being hard to find new friends, relationships are really difficult to create and maintain.



    Are there any things in your 30s that you find interesting? What have you been told about in your 30s?
