Women Have Been Doing this For Decades

You hear the many sounds of a life fully lived amid commuting, dining, parenting, and preparing for all the obstacles family and career might throw in the way. Nothing new in this but still enjoyable. Women have been juggling all this for decades. Life just goes on and you get used to it. 🤷‍♀️

Not sure I got it

Not sure what the point of the story was. I felt like I evesdroped on a conversation at a coffee shop, like the story already started and I left before it ended... interesting, but didn't really connect.

Good read!

I wasn't expecting this but felt it was decent, especially as a free read. it is very true about women managing work, family, friends and other obligations-all at the same time.

Better than Ada Calhoun's book!

I loved the interview style of this book, where you could hear what was going on. I thought Ada's book would be like this, but it wasn't.

The style if this short, reminded of the interview style documentary Audible by the author of "Dopesick America". I almost craved tolisten to something like, "Finding Tess" again, and this curbed that itch for a while!

Not long enough!

Quit Whining; You’re Not Unique

Quit whining about how difficult your life is and do more research before spewing nonsense. I looked forward to listening to this presentation, but your credibility vanished almost immediately with the statement that Gen X women are unique in having to juggle many life responsibilities, such as homemaking, work,and caregiving for both children and elderly parents simultaneously without a lot of (if any) assistance.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but Gen X women are not the only ones that have had that distinction. Younger baby boomers have also experienced - and are still experiencing - the same life, job, and familial responsibilities.

A very disappointing production. Don’t waste your money or time on it.
