Startup founders who are successful should stop spouting gyaan or question why one needs to sleep. Saying this even though I know I am in the same ecosystem and may pay for it. I took a decision to sleep for 7 hrs everyday. Made me get rid of numerous toxicities in my life.
Maybe I am not the most successful founder or 'accomplished' success that way, but I can tell you I am healthier, mentally and physically. Same sense of building something, watching it grow excites me as well.
And I have to work harder because I am a woman (say what you will) and a parent + a very non typical background for the kind of work I do now. All the more reason why I tried to fit in, and realised I can't. And don't want to. I have lots to offer. Take me along...
With my vulnerabilities, my son interrupting every call I have and my sleep schedule. I can guarantee I add more value that way. Than as a workhorse trying to prove something I am not. Been there, done that. Didn't make any more progress than I have done now.
Also, when we tweet (including me), let us be conscious of the kind of privilege and access we have. That a lot of kids watching us don't. Or can't.

Back to my romantic novel, thank you very much.
Lots of grammar errors up there.

Romance* novel.

Prove someone I am not*

Other errors too, for sure. But letting it be.
