The Modern Day Woman

1 in 5 struggle with a diagnosable mental health condition...

Over 70% of moms in the USA are also working... and most of them carry the bulk of the primary caregiving and household management.

A rising number of of women have entered entrepreneurship or taken on higher level leadership roles than in the past.

Go-getters.
Givers.
Doers.
Achievers.
Dreamers.
World-changers.

And...

These can often lend themselves to:
Over-functioning
Over-compensating
Over-giving
Overly-considering

For the sake of "success"
Or "because if I don't, no one else will!?!?"

But, at what price?

Feeling disempowered?
Chronic fatigue?
Obnoxious self-doubt?
De-prioritizing mental health?
Loss of sleep?
Overstimulation?
Anxiety?
Overwhelm?
Burn out?
A lost sense of purpose... a disconnect with self?

Those who tend to care the deepest, give the most, and serve the fiercest I've seen be really great at channelling those things outward... and forget or struggle to channel them inward, towards the self.

There is NO SHAME in this.

I could get on my soapbox about the cacophony of reasons that have contributed to this over the years... but that's not the point of this post.

The point is... the world benefits from you sharing yourself with it- your gifts, talents, wisdom, experience...

And that can be a beautiful thing... contribution is an essential part of meaningful connection... I'm not here to deny that.

There is simply an additional truth here... one that reminds us that we each have a capacity as human beings. We require recharge. We require support. We require fuel for our engines to continue to function well (and those engines, by the way, were not meant to be blasting full-throttle-mode 24/7...).

You're human.
A multi-dimensional human being.

By all means... explore and enjoy the various dimensions of self! As parent, as partner, as professional, as advocate, as commuinity member, as woman, etc...

But, don't forget that you have needs.
And these needs are not negotiable.

You have wants.
And those matter too.

If any emotion has welled up inside of you while reading this... I hope you'll join us for an exclusive and free class, specifically for women in business or leadership.

It's in person and I'm so, so looking forward to our time together.

Thoughts spiraling?
Keeping up with everything feeling too much?
Despite plenty of success, it feels like a mess inside?

Anxiety and overwhelm... even those who look "successful" can struggle with them.
It's not a character flaw or a sign you're doing something bad or wrong.
It doesn't mean something is broken or damaged and needs to be "fixed".

It's possible to work with them, reduce them, and manage them differently when they do pop up.
