Since leaving DB, I have participated in many conferences and swish events that other financial institutions have held for their women's groups.

Of course the female experience is different from those of our male peers - just like every woman's story is different from their fellow females.

The smartest and most successful people I know are the people who are constantly evolving, always learning. It does not end with school.

From Warren Buffett to Jamie Dimon to Paul Tudor Jones, no one has cracked the code and put a critical mass of top women in the C-Suite or near it.

I did two master's degrees - aeronautics and astronautics, and the second one was technology and policy. That taught me how to think about issues in science and technology as they relate to the general public.

People see your life on social media, and they say, 'Oh my gosh, it's perfect,' and I'm like, 'No, every day, it's not even just a struggle: it's something new, and it's a new challenge to make sure that I'm mentally stable and healthy and that I'm okay.' It was just great to finally get it out and talk about it.

With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.

Ambient Devices is what I call part of the Third Wave of Internet devices.
