Many women I’ve worked with have given

What role are
parents teaching their kids?

My Mom was a
ski instructor with 4 kids.
So encourage women to get back on the slope
after they have children.
I hope that I have, and I’ll keep my efforts going.
What stereotype, phrase or word do you hate the most?
Demo… Don’t be intimidated by the size.
