If you consider yourself a “cuspy” working mom, have we got a book club pick for you! 😀 We are so excited about our Q1 No-Stakes Book Club pick — The Power Pause, by Neha Leela Ruch. If you’ve followed her and her work with Mother Untitled, then you know she’s doing incredibly important work around changing the narrative of ambition and motherhood. We are excited to support this work! 💗SOWM members get the book sent to their door for $5 — just the cost of shipping. 💗New members pay $30 for the book AND a month of membership (psssst: that’s the same price as the book when you pre-order through Amazon… do the math!) And then we’ll have a special chat with Neha at the end of it all!! 💖 Hope you’ll join in the fun!

Heading into the weekend... following a weekend of spending... 💸 might we interest you in a free webinar about building generational wealth? 🤔 Come learn from and ask questions of Rebecca Pino, MBA, financial advisor and founder of Money Her Way, this Monday, 12/9! Rebecca has you covered for all your questions: -How to make the most of your year-end windfall (if you're lucky!!) -Which accounts to set up for your kids and WHY? -What strategy is best for your goals? -~Fill in the blank~ ("sign up" and then navigate to "events" to learn more. 👆)

The SOWM lo-stakes book club is now the NO-stakes book club. What does this mean? ~You're busy ~And we're busy ~We like to read, in theory ~We like to discuss our reading ~It's hard to commit to a monthly title (or to anything, tbh) --- Early on in our book club, we read a title a month (roughly) and hosted author chats at the end of that month (Stop Waiting for Perfect + L'Oreal Thompson Payton! The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett + Annie Lyons!) But now we're resuscitating our book club in 2025 with a very manageable *1 title per quarter.* Our first pick of 2025 is Neha Leela Ruch of Mother Untitled's The Power Pause. Pre-order through us by 12/12 and we'll send it straight to your door for a mere $5! 👀 Click the "sign up" link 👆 to learn more!
