What Chapter Comes After ‘Girl Boss,’ Hustle and Grind?

Hey love,

Quick note from my desk — I’ve been sitting with something that keeps coming up in conversation lately, and want to keep this note a little more informal today. 

(I hope I’m catching you at the end of a peaceful or productive workday.)

What’s been coming up is this:

How ARE women supposed to be “doing business” these days? 

We’re not ‘girl bossing’ anymore, that’s gone out of style. We’re not hustling excessively. But we don’t necessarily want to tradwife. And we want to feel like we’re doing meaningful work…

It’s this weird tension so many women are feeling…

Sortof like we’re waking up from a spell.

We did the “successful woman” thing, and saw it portrayed in news and media. 

What that looked like? Well, it was different for everyone. 

But we… (as a collective of women in business)

We chased the titles. The corner offices. The perfectly curated LinkedIn bios. The stereotypical workday structured like mans’ (exact same repitition every single day, which our bodies and systems aren’t made for). The 30 under 30 or 40 or under 40, full-grind mode. 

You get the picture.

And somewhere in between the strategy calls and the Slack pings, we realized…

This version of success?

It doesn’t actually feel that successful.

And the data backs it:

• Only 6% of Gen Z women want senior leadership roles. (Read that again.)
  
  

• Over 57% of millennial women say work is burning them out — but they’re afraid to slow down.
  
  

• And the highest rates of anxiety, depression, and medication use? Yup. Women, mid-career, high-achieving.
  

As I’ve often said to this community: we’re not broken. The system is.

Because it was never made with us in mind. 

And so, as women (and with our allys), we’re rewriting it.

Not with a megaphone, but with our choices. Our values. Our vision. The way we approach allllllll of it.

I think it’s really important that this is the time to decide the type of business that YOU want. Not what others expect or the “cool” or trending model or what you think you ‘should’ do. 

Ask yourself, what works for YOU in relation to work and business?

I’ve been asking this myself, and I also want to share the values that are integrated into this business and community. 

Here’s what we believe at Regal Resilience:

✨ Work-life integration > work-life “balance”

✨ Success = freedom, not just money

✨ We don’t live to work — we work to live

✨ Values-driven > hustle-obsessed

✨ Systems that support our lives, not systems that drain them

We’re not “anti-ambition” — we’re just done tying our worth to output.

We’re not here to be “the best woman in the boys’ club” or blend in with them… we’re building our own damn ecosystem!! 

Because in my eyes, the future of leadership?

It looks a lot more like FLOW. Flexibility. Community. Real impact. Slow and steady. Aligned, and dare I say: regal.

So, we’re not trying to win a rigged game anymore.

We’re changing the rules completely.

And if this resonates — if you’re nodding your head or feeling that tug in your gut — just know, you’re not the only one.

You’re not crazy. You’re awake :)

And you’re in really good company.

We’re doing things differently now.

Let’s go. 

Con mucho amor,

Tanyette
