What a big sister can do!! So impressed by the love that you two share! I am 22 months older than my sister and know the relationship. Wind Beneath My Wings is our song. Thanks for sharing. Great lessons!!
That is so inspiring to meet the person behind Perspectives. I read every single article you work on behind the scene. I also started writing my own too. I truly love reading your story. "We each define success, purpose, and fulfillment in our own ways." Absolutely!
If I maybe so bold as to suggest - what was your journey to self acceptance? How did you manage the expectations to be otherwise and stay true to who you are?
Love this! There are so many oughts and shoulds and it's refreshing to hear about someone building their own quiet path. Please share more about how you came up with your business and built it. It would be inspiring for those of us who may be forced to develop our own paths considering the uncertainty that's going on.
Hi Teresa! I could write many posts about our business. It was definitely a huge change for me. I will put it on a list of upcoming topics I should write about.
I loved this piece and so glad you wrote it .... "This is me. And I’ve come to own it. Getting things done—quietly, consistently, and effectively—is my love language." that resonates deeply! Thank you for sharing and look forward to more!
I had the honor of hosting two virtual live chats with Deb in 2020 for the Women in Product community. At the time, I had just become a mother, and her journey deeply inspired me—proof that women can thrive in their careers while raising multiple children.
Now, a few years later, I’m a mom of two, have celebrated promotions, and also navigated setbacks. There were times when I was frustrated with myself, questioning whether I worked hard enough to achieve the heights I had envisioned.
Your article is a powerful reminder that success isn’t one-size-fits-all—we each get to define it for ourselves.
It also gave me fresh insights into parenting, especially the importance of celebrating each of our children’s unique strengths.
Thank you for writing this. I’ve never been the loudest voice in the room, and I would always question if I needed to be. Thank for your reminding me to stay truthful to you.
How did you build a 7 figure business while being present for your family? From my experience building a business can be harder than climbing the ladder :)
Peter, hahaha it wasn't easy (and I read your blog posts and know about your day job versus what else you have built). Many late nights while the kids were sleeping talking to factories in china.
That will be a post for another day. We actually built 2 businesses; when life and market conditions change, we pivot.
This was one of the most beautiful pieces I have read in a while. Thanks for sharing Caroline.
Thank you so much for your kind words!❤️

Is that you Ms Ashburn? Thank you for inspiring the both of us!

Love that you are writing too Corinna! 🧡
I love this post so much! It made me tear up!
Awe, Helen you made my day!
So genuine, warm, and thoughtfully written that it felt like a hug. I teared up. Looking forward to the next post.
Shuba, I hesitated writing for a long time but thank you so much for your comment. It is encouraging me to think about what I want to post next time.

Thank you Caroline Lau! Very much looking forward to it
Showing up for the people who matter most in the ways that is meaningful for you is one of the most powerful things we can do as humans.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and life philosophy!

This brought tears to my eyes. I love the quiet strengths that comes from knowing who you are and what truly matters.
This was beautiful and so encouraging. Thank you, Caroline!
Love the authenticity, Caroline!
