“I am a 41-year-old woman and I can never remember a time when I wanted to be a mother. It is not something that I ever considered. I had goals of being independent, running a business and traveling the world. Those were the things that I aspired for. Kids never fit into that. “⁠

Samantha Bailey @sbaileybooks ‘ latest psycholog

Samantha Bailey @sbaileybooks ‘ latest psychological thriller ‘Watch Out For Her’, releasing TOMORROW, is a fast-paced novel that takes place in Vancouver and Toronto, and follows a family that is being haunted by a needy babysitter. Creepy!⁠
⁠📔
Expect to stay up late reading this page-turner because each chapter ends on a cliff-hanging note that will have you hungry to keep going. ⁠
⁠📔
We connected with the Toronto author to ask her about her writing process, and why she's drawn to thrillers. ⁠

‘Monday Girl’ @mondaygirlto , founded by @_rac

‘Monday Girl’ @mondaygirlto , founded by @_rachelwong & @blogistiana is a safe space for women to connect with other like-minded professionals, seek advice, and share opportunities.⁠
⁠
Wong explains how more privileged individuals, who’ve graduated from prestigious schools, come from affluent neighbourhoods, and have families with connections, have a significant advantage. As a first generation Canadian, Wong didn’t have the same kind of network. So she set out to build one with Bestari. ⁠
⁠
Monday Girl currently has 9000 members, and 43% of the membership identify as BIPOC. Their first big ‘return to in-person’ event, ‘The Monday Girl Summit’ (running today), including speakers like @taylor_frankel , @nitsanraiter , @cocoandcowe , @hylanayeri sold out within 24 hours! Incredible!⁠
⁠
The next opening for new members starts April 25!
