Womens Issues
“The problem is not merely one of Woman and Career, Woman and the Home, Woman and Independence. It is more basically: how to remain whole in the midst of the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal forces tend to pull one off center; how to remain strong, no matter what shocks come in at the periphery and tend to crack the hub of the wheel.”
Anne Morrow Lindberg
Women Uplift Others and Overcome Personal Challenges
Women have unique struggles, and seeking knowledgable support or women-specific issues can be key to becoming empowered and experiencing lasting personal growth. Women may experience certain environmental, psychological, and biological challenges related to gender that have a significant impact on our mental health and well-being. If not addressed properly, these challenges can turn into burdens that often lead to anxiety, depression and a lost sense of self.
As a woman you may wear multiple hats and juggle family roles such as a single mom, breadwinner, caregiver to aging parents, caregiver to a disabled child, married but in a conflicted marriage, maintaining a career yet responsible for the home and children duties. This all plays a toll on your system and over time you can find that you have lost yourself after years of continuing to run ragged in this way.
