Today I'm joined by Rimple Patel to discuss how being childfree has influenced her professional growth and the lessons she's learned in prioritizing self and setting boundaries at work. After growing up in Malawi, Rimple moved to the U.S. at the age of 17 to earn her undergraduate degree and has experienced a meteoric career ever since.  We have a great discussion on how she's able to experience the role of parent to her niece and nephew and her excitement around being able to move to Madrid for a year. At the end, Rimple reminds me of the importance of visualization and creating vision boards to achieve your goals. I'm so grateful for her wisdom and time - and can't wait for you to hear her story!

Here are the references from my intro about workplace biases against people who don't have children: 

• What’s It Like Being Childfree at Work? [2022 Study]
• Meeting the Needs of Nonparent Workers
• Child-free workers aren’t selfish. They’re being exploited
• We need to talk about the bias against child-free employees
