Being in a long-distance relationship certainly has its challenges. One of the biggest is deciding where to live when you do decide to merge your lives.The choice is often narrowed down to two options: your city or your partner’s. It’s something that my husband and I struggled with, until we realized we had another — and arguably better — option. Choosing a completely different and neutral third city.We tried each other’s hometowns, but they didn’t work outMy husband and I met in 2018 in my hometown of Vancouver, Canada. He was traveling through the country on a soon-to-expire working holiday…

I built the first part of my career in Mexico, in Spanish, surrounded by a professional culture where I understood almost everything about my day-to-day life.After relocating to the UK, that shifted. English became the language of my entire working day — not just formal presentations or important calls, but emails, feedback, meetings, quick messages, office small talk, and the situations where being clear matters almost as much as being right.It was not a matter of adjusting in places; it required rebuilding everything.I’m more confident in SpanishI am fluent in English, and I have worked in it for years. I…

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ali Hynek. It has been edited for length and clarity.For a couple of years, my four kids have been asking for smartphones.Being aware of the negative impacts of smartphones, for kids and adults, my husband and I have told the kids they won’t be getting smartphones until they are at least 17.We’ve discussed with them about why we’ve made this decision, explaining our reasoning rather than just making a blanket rule. Even though I think they understand why they aren’t allowed smartphones, I’m aware that they sometimes feel they are missing…

I started teaching my daughter to pack when she was 3 years old, which, I know, sounds inefficient at best and slightly unhinged at worst.Packing with a preschooler is slow. It turns a 30-minute task into a 90-minute one. It involves delicate negotiations over which stuffed animals are “essential,” last-minute outfit swaps as she re-discovers her favorite sparkly boots, and frequent distractions. If saving time today were the goal, I would simply do it myself.But my perspective changed after I heard versions of the same complaint from multiple mothers; they were still packing for their teenagers. Not just occasionally helping…

I knew visiting Intel’s chip factory would be different when they told me I couldn’t wear my regular deodorant.Or lotion. Or hairspray. Or makeup.Before I’d even boarded the plane to Oregon, Intel sent my videographer and me a long list of things we couldn’t wear or bring into its factory in Hillsboro. No Velcro. No Bluetooth. No phones unless they were on airplane mode. The list kept going.That was my first clue I was about to step into a place governed by a very different set of rules.In March, after months of planning with Intel, I got rare access to…
