Writer Amil Niazi on Losing her Ambition, Motherhood and the Millennial Mid-Life Crisis
Q: What do you think your ambitions looked like when you were growing up?
I envisioned a successful career, influenced by 90s and 2000s pop culture, where hard work would equate to achieving dreams, but the reality proved to be much different.
Writer Amil Niazi on Losing her Ambition, Motherhood and the Millennial Mid-Life Crisis

Deep Read Salon LIVE: 39BC Founder Sharmadean Reid on Rituals, Research, and Moving into her 'Yin' Era
Q: Do you have any tips for retaining what you read and maintaining the useful bits?
Reading without distractions is essential, so I leave my phone away from me when I read. I also find it helpful to walk and reflect after reading to solidify the information. Additionally, writing about what I've read helps retention and comprehension.
