@emilybrickel: I don’t think my IDGAF era is what everyone thinks it is. It isn’t about being louder. Or more confident. Or not caring what people think. It’s about one realization I had this year that quietly changed almost every decision I’ve made since. The weird part? It had nothing to do with work. Nothing to do with money. Nothing to do with confidence. It changed the way I think about ambition, style, relationships, motherhood, aging… honestly, my entire life. I wrote about it because I have a feeling I’m not the only woman who’s been living by rules she never consciously chose. Comment IDGAF and I’ll send you the essay.
