Are you willing to earn more than your partner?
Read that question again. Are you willing to earn more than your partner? Your first impression (as a woman) will be ‘Why, yes, of course, Obu. I am willing to earn more than my partner’. Quite often as women, we somehow sabotage our money-making capacity. We think that in order to earn more, we have […]
My reflections from March – a month of positivity and flow💝
