Your energy is INFECTIOUS! We might want to bottle it and offer sample packs with every book. Imagine ALISA #5 wafting off the necks of every woman, spiraling into the atmosphere like a glorious post-menopausal pheromone that reminds the human race just how powerful, gorgeous and brilliant women can be.

Swoon.

This is so exciting, Alisa! Ordering the book of course! And typing this listening to Magic Man. May have to segue with Pat Benatar. I've just listened to the full Supertramp Even in the Quietest Moments album, which is still amazing. But I'm a teeny bit older than you so maybe it didn't make it to your younger ears back in the day!

I look forward to hearing much much more ! Big hugs, Cesca xx

Woo hoo! The exuberance in this post gave me such a lift! That tentpole treatment with the Times Square billboards is next level. Not an easy feat! Love reading about the success of the launch and so happy for you and the team. Excited to receive my copy of "Quickies."

I go away for a minute and you conquer the f’n world!!

(I am not surprised in the slightest. I’m thrilled to bits and knew it was only a matter of time dear Alisa.) You rock, roll and rule. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

My 6 copies arrive this week, can't wait! This is such a great post filled with shit that is ultra-familiar. BTW, whenever a high-level client tells me they're looking around in their talent pool for great managers I'm like, "GEN X WOMEN YOU GUYS!!!" But it's always with a slight sting, because are any of us getting the menocare we actually need? Most of these companies don't offer true comprehensive insurance, and I don't want any GenX women stepping up to leadership and then burning out shortly afterward. Support, care, sleep, and repeat. Hope your entire team can do both soon!

As a Gen X man, I can attest to the power of Gen X women. There’s nothing like them. They’re the best.

What you’re doing with Empress is incredible. I’m in awe of you. Seriously.

Holy tamoly, Alisa...You've blown the doors off of all expectations, girl! You and that cowgirl, doctor friend of yours!! So proud to know you.

Now if you can just let me rub against you to get some of that high functioning Meno-pixie dust on me!

Hedge Fund Visigoths and Tech Mongols cry easily because they are life's non impact players--never got to score the winning touchdown or the cheerleader and will never get over it.

Let me know when you are ready to publish some strong dick books. I'll happily hand you my list, I'm not a manager!
