If you’re constantly overwhelmed, overthinking, or struggling to focus, you might wonder: Is this anxiety – or could it be ADHD? For many women, the answer is surprising.

When You’ve Learned to Second-Guess Yourself, Self-Advocacy Isn’t as Simple as “Speaking Up”

“Advocate for yourself” is common advice. Ask questions. Set boundaries. Tell people what you need. Speak up when something is wrong. On the surface, this seems straightforward. In practice, self-advocacy can be much more complicated, particularly for women who have spent significant periods of their lives learning that speaking up comes with consequences. What happens when asking q

You Have an Attorney, a Therapist and Other Professionals. Why Do You Still Feel Like You’re Drowning?

There is an assumption that once a woman has the right professionals around her, things should begin to feel more manageable. Sometimes they do. An attorney can explain legal rights and options. A therapist can provide a place to process experiences and understand emotional or relational patterns. A financial professional can help make sense of assets, debts and budgets.

You Don’t Have to Call It Abuse to Know Something Isn’t Right

There was a long time when I knew something wasn’t right in my relationship without fully understanding what I was experiencing. I knew I didn’t want to be screamed at. I knew being called names wasn’t okay. I knew I shouldn’t be mocked or ridiculed because I didn’t know something, didn’t hear something correctly, or held a different opinion. In the beginning,

I'll Always Trade My Rook to Keep My Knight. On why we need to stop pathologizing the people-pleasers of this world.

I'm tired of the version that frames it as a personality quirk, a boundary problem, or a self-esteem issue we just need to do the work on.

What We Lose When We're Not Believed

There's a kind of tired I want to talk about, because I don't think it gets named enough, and because I've lived inside of it, and because the people who walk into my office almost always know exactly what I mean before I finish the sentence. It's the tired that comes from being the one who notices. It's exhausting being the one who feels the shift in the room, who registers the tightness in som
