I can't say that there's been some big change during my career where all of a sudden everything's totally colorblind.

Once we decided not to get pregnant, I snapped back into work mode, and now I have just been really enjoying my career.

Bravery is the engine of change.

Dartmouth is a small school with high-caliber teaching. Our classes were all taught by professors, not teaching assistants. I felt like that was a school where I could make a big splash. The opportunities would be grander and more robust for me there than at a school with 40,000 students.

I've been blessed to have insanely hip parents who think of me as their little Chris Rock.

I think people sleepwalk through their lives, and for me, I wanted to embrace everything. And that meant the agonizing pain and the transcendence, and you can't have one without the other.
