Some of my proudest articles of the year are in this category. He Liked My Ambition and What Your Friend Who Had a Baby Needs are probably in my top five of the year. Not a surprise that they are both topics that came up for me while talking to my closest friends about what they're going through. I'm a feisty one when it comes to my friends.
He Liked My Ambition—Until He Didn’t: A True Story of Ambitious Women and Soft Men
It's iconic. Sorry, but not sorry, it is. Think Carrie Bradshaw meets Candace Owens. I feel very strongly about 'modern masculinity' (or the lack of) and unfortunately for my friend Lola she had the perfect experience to explain it.
What Your Friend Who Just Had a Baby Actually Wants (But is Too Polite to Say)
Talk about going in a direction I did not expect. I text some of my closest friends all a question 'what did you want but were too polite to say after having a baby?' We got deep, we got inspirational, and their honesty brought together one of my favorite articles I've done. It's the postpartum support guide every friend should read.

Ooh, saucy title. The good, the bad, and the beautiful from our wedding, including a stunning photo of Helen Carey (it's worth reading just for that).
The Ultimate Gift Buying Guide For Your Partner

I keep telling you I'm a gift giver. Save the stress of Christmas/Birthday/Partner gifts and just keep coming back to me I'll do the searching for you.
How to Make Your Home Smell Like a Luxury Hotel (Non-Toxic Edition)
