Who is Grace?
Grace is the voice of reason and support that we all need from time to time. She’s the big sister who shares her own mistakes so you can avoid making them. She’s the classmate who passed you a pad in the school bathroom when you got your first period. She’s the coworker who builds you up to ask for the raise you deserve. She’s the person who’s never afraid to speak her mind, and will never judge you for speaking yours. She’s the friend who can keep a secret and who is always happy to listen.
We created Dear Grace because we all need someone like Grace in our corner and she’ll never shy away from the conversations that matter.
I have a question for Grace, how do I share it?
You can share your question for Grace using the field on the Dear Grace homepage.
I submitted a question to Grace but she hasn’t answered me. What should I do?
Thanks so much for sharing your question with Grace! Hundreds of readers like you submit questions and dilemmas for advice each week, and Grace does her best to answer as many as possible but unfortunately it’s not possible to answer each and every one. Instead, Grace tries to answer questions that reflect themes lots of readers are asking about, so that even if your exact question doesn’t get answered, you get some good advice you can use.
What is In Focus?
In Focus is our monthly series of conversations bringing together women from our community to talk honestly and openly about topics that matter to all of us. We invite 8 women to join us and get real about the month’s topic and what it means to them. Participants from each session get paid $100 just for showing up and speaking their mind. If you weren’t selected or can’t join us, don’t worry—we share videos of the best moments from each session for everyone to enjoy. Check out what past groups have talked about or apply here.
Do I really get paid $100?
Yes! If you’re selected to join an In Focus session, you’ll receive a $100 e-gift card after participating in your session. In Focus sessions last 90 minutes and are scheduled during the week, not the weekend. We have at least 16 In Focus participants per month on average, and 100% of participants receive their gift card.
When will I get paid?
Once you’ve finished your In Focus session, you’ll receive an evaluation to share your feedback about the experience. You’ll receive your e-gift card in a text to your phone about two weeks later.
Can I participate more than once?
While you can certainly apply more than once, we like to keep our In Focus groups fresh and invite new women to join us each time.
Does In Focus offer other opportunities for past participants?
Yes! There may be opportunities to come together with past participants for celebrations such as Galentine’s Day, or to join a small group of past participants moving through a longer goal setting journey together. Watch for upcoming invites and/or applications.
Where can I view the In Focus videos?
You can view In Focus videos here. If you participated in an In Focus session, it can take several weeks for your videos to be uploaded—keep checking back!
