Top 5: Things Not To Say To A Woman Over 30

One of the great challenges for women turning 30 is the feeling of being somewhat accomplished but still not feeling like it's enough. And this feeling of "enough" is hard for me to express but in my opinion may be the single most important thing to understanding women over 30. "Enough" is not quantifiable by money, degrees, shoe collections, or babies (in no particular order)—it's something bigger.

Let me use a football metaphor to explain: Reaching 30 for women is like a diehard fan reaching the end of the second quarter at a really good football game. You can stay and double down for the second half, or you can go home at half time. For women, you start to see two clear paths: one to career and one to family. Only when I turned 30, and my professional and personal life started to really develop, did I give much thought to how exactly I was going to do it all: have a job, a husband, children, and my sanity. I don't have an answer for that, but I think I'm like most women in that I didn't really think about the specifics until I turned 30.

So, on the eve of my 31st birthday, I've taken it upon myself to compile a list of the top five things never to say to a woman nearing thirty. Enjoy! Read more…
