Good boys. Bad boys. Who’s sexier? Who turns you on the most? Whether you’re attracted to men or women, both, or neither, let’s tell some truth. I don’t know about you, but for much of my life, I have been a crash course missile, heading straight for a “bad boy.” So many of my girlfriends,...

I draw courage from the stories of women who have courage. I draw strength from learning from women who have overcome the insurmountable.

Sister Goddess Leslie, Age 41 When I walked through the doors of the School of Womanly Arts, I was getting a divorce at the age of 37. I was beyond devastated. On the other side of this journey, I am a proud new mama at the age of 41, partnered with my husband and best friend,...

Darling, I’m writing to you from Miami, as I’m about to board a plane back to NYC. What’s spinning through my head? “Through the Eyes of Love” by Melissa Manchester. “I Had the Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing. The Sentimental Saccharine Geek has taken over my soul.

It’s Monday, Sisters, and I know, I know, I am a day early, but I just could not wait to inform you all of what is going down starting TOMORROW! I was overwhelmed and thrilled by the responses we received to our blog post requesting your deepest questions. The stories we read, the questions plead, touched me to...

But what are the ingredients necessary to cultivate a superior environment for a woman? What causes...

Darling, You did it. You got the job you deserved. You slogged through and got the divorce you needed. The kids are handled and thriving. You make friends every time you turn around. But why oh why does love—real true love, with an amazing partner—remain just out of reach? What have we women lost, in...

Darling, It was just another cold December morning.  I woke up, got the kid on the bus, went to spin class, showered, dressed. I settled in with a gigantic cup of English breakfast tea, in my God Save the Queen mug, to catch up with my emails before the office opened.  In my inbox, I...
