But today, as I navigate teen and tween mothering, I think it was the best parenting wisdom I have ever received.
But I also saw wisdom in the advice I received from my grad adviser: He reminded me that leaving academia after my Ph.D. would make it hard to return later, and that doing a postdoc would allow me to gain experience while also giving me space to reach a decision about my future career direction outside of the pressures of grad school.
I received incredible wisdom from twenty women from a variety of industries, organizations and at different stages of their careers.
After visiting my doctor, I received the wisdom that I wish I would have received before this started happening.
Thanks to a lack of awareness and knowledge about bisexuality, I received little wisdom or positive affirmation from friends, family, or mentors.

Nothing to cause offence, but the world-weariness of hard-knocks received wisdom ("I'm always real smart/At fucking things up") does get plain wearying.

Wit and wisdom also gratefully received".
