"A flower never thinks about competing with a fellow flower, it just blooms."
One of the most amazing things is witnessing women empower other women. We're already facing enough challenges stemming solely from our gender, so the last thing we need is another female bringing us down. If you're a fierce #girlboss you know how hard it can be sometimes to find real support from other girl bosses, and in all reality there's no need to be competing with one another. Once we realize how much we can benefit from helping each other rise to the top we will be unstoppable. If you're looking for advice and motivation to keep you on track to reaching your goals, I've found four inspiring ladies who have made it their mission to empower other women. Here's four blogs that every hardworking woman needs to be reading.
Ivanka Trump
It doesn't matter who you voted for in the recent presidential election, or how you feel about Ivanka's father, Donald Trump. Ivanka's blog is specifically designed for the working woman and it's actually pretty good. The site is adorable and super easy to access on your phone or computer. A lot of her blogs are short lists that get right down to business and are all very helpful for women in the workplace/school. She also has tabs for style, travel, and other fun things, overall her site is the perfect mix of work and play. www.ivankatrump.com
Career Contessa
Career Contessa was started by a girl who is just like you. Lauren McGoodwin changed her major in her junior year of college and attended every career fair and career counseling she could and still graduated with no job and no direction. She settled for a job in admissions at her university and there she discovered her love for recruiting. Through her thesis project for graduate school she started a website that showcases successful women, contessas, and tells their story of how they made it to the top. Each article is broken down in an easy-to-read way with a quick description of the girl boss and then a Q&A session. Lauren's site is an awesome resource for inspiration and helpful tips for making your way in the working world. There's even a tab for jobs if you're looking to apply! www.careercontessa.com
THINK LIKE A BOSS LADY
www.thinklikeabosslady.com was created by Lisa Tufano and it's purpose is to empower and educate women who share the goal for success and happiness. Here's a blurb from the site that speaks for itself: "THINK LIKE A BOSS LADY was created as a lifestyle and empowerment blog for the modern millennial woman.You'll find everything from life hacking shortcuts and etiquette tips to career and financial advice, with a healthy dose of budget-friendly shopping and fashion inspiration sprinkled in."
The Skinny Confidential
My personal favorite, The Skinny Confidential creator Lauryn Evarts is charismatic and will draw you in with her witty banter and clever captions. Her blog is so fun to read and she has all sorts of goodies to be discovered. She is more of a lifestyle blogger, but she is a successful entrepreneur and gives great advice. If you're looking for a blog that will motivate you to being a productive member of society and help you look good doing it, this is the one for you. www.theskinnyconfidential.com
