The gap that keeps women unseen
|
DearReader, I found myself between two worlds. Growing up in India, the message was clear. Don't stand out. It's easy to internalize that. Then I came to America at 22 and everything shifted. In my Master's program, I sat in awe of how women showed up. It was the first time I saw that a mom could also be a student. I also watched people work while studying and supporting themselves in ways that felt completely foreign to me. I became one of them. I got a second job washing dishes. Looking back, those were all identity shifts. Small moments. I didn't have language for it then. That tension doesn't just go away. It shows up in how we speak. Most women I work with are experts at what they do. But there's often a gap between who they are and how they're showing up. That gap is what keeps them unseen. That's why I created 3 Days to Visible. It's not about fixing your brand in three days. If you're a woman who's been pivoting, branding, or rebranding, this challenge is made for you. Talk soon, Alpana P.S. The challenge is FREE and will be live on Zoom from April 7-9, 12-1 PM PST. If you've been waiting for a sign to finally show up differently, this is it. |

Dear Reader, My dad's birthday was July 4. Every year when I called to wish him a happy birthday, he'd answer with a smile and say, "You know all of America is celebrating my special day." This year will be my first July 4 without hearing that familiar joke. He passed away last November, and this year I'll celebrate him by eating one of his favorite desserts and looking through our old family photos. My dad was the reason I fell in love with photographs. The ones he took and the ones other...
Reader, I am a chai lover who stopped drinking chai. And coffee. 😪 Chai is a huge part of my identity, so it makes me cry. My viral IG reel tells the story here. I have a SNP, a genetic trait that impacts how my body metabolizes caffeine. Most people clear caffeine in about 60 minutes, but it takes me forever. What sealed the deal was a chai crawl a few weeks back. One perfect cup of cardamom chai at 4 pm kept me awake until 3 am. That cup was also the impetus to get off caffeine entirely,...
Hey Reader, I started getting phishing emails from my own domain. My. Own. Domain. I sat with that for a minute. And then another minute. And then I thought, I am not going to block my own email address. 😂 Back in January, my website got hacked. And in the grand tradition of dealing with uncomfortable things I'd rather not deal with, I did... basically nothing about it. For months. I knew I needed to move hosts. I also knew that moving four domains sounded like the kind of project that ruins...
