Four Nonfiction Books I'm Actually Reading (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nonfiction audiobooks are my strategy for learning when traditional reading feels like a struggle. I'm out of my reading slump and ready to learn about investing, feminism, economics, and tech through four books that are calling to me. All of these have changed how I think about women, money, and society. What's drawing me to these books right now: * Financial independence is a feminist issue (investing means women can have freedom and agency) * Retirement is personal (as a millennial without a
4 Books For a Cozy Girl Fall: My Must-Read Recommendations This Autumn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading slumps happen, especially when life gets chaotic and burnout creeps in. But the thing is, reading makes me feel alive. So finding cozy fall books is my strategy to break out of the slump and fall back in love with reading during the season I love most.

Energy management is everything (introversion is an energetic style, not a personality flaw) 2. Selectivity with people and activities matters (it's about h
There Was Nothing Wrong With Me: Being Introverted Isn't a Character Flaw (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being introverted isn't a character flaw or a weakness that needs fixing. It's part of who you are. I spent years believing my quiet nature was something wrong with me, something I needed to change. But accepting my introversion became the foundation of real confidence and self-acceptance. Three things I learned: 1. Your introversion doesn't make you broken (accepting yourself is the first step to confidence) 2. Confidence has nothing to do with being extroverted (quiet confidence is real confid
