I used to pooh-pooh the notion that one could be afraid of success, but upon further reflection, I realized there is some truth to that statement! Success is a journey and it is very much about the person you become along the way. With this growth comes (a natural) fear of failure.

Frustration. Heartache. Disbelief. Dismay. These are some descriptors that come to mind when I read articles about the financial and economic status of women today.

There has been a lot of unrest of late, and a lot of the conversation has been around the inequity of the wealth distribution in general, but also divided along racial lines.
