Women Helping Women
“Amazing things happen when women help women.” - Kasia Gospos
Our “New COVID Normal” is affecting everyone, but as women between the ages of 40-60, we are facing an extraordinary set of challenges beyond COVID that affect us everyday--midlife.
Mid-life challenges include Empty Nest ‘Syndrome’, relationship issues, career changes, finding new life’s purpose, lost of identity, aging parents, body image challenges--weight gain and sagging bodies.
Many of us are not only facing these challenges but the additional challenges of our children who have flown from the nest only to return home, our aging parents now isolated, vulnerable, and dying. Our body image perceptions intensified due to months of social distancing and lockdown- our pantries and refrigerators beckoning us to come in and partake out of boredom and stress. We are facing challenges in rediscovering our spouses but having to do so during a time of stranded societal circumstances.
In the weeks and months to follow, I would like to address and breakdown these midlife challenges and with your wisdom and help, work together to create a space where we can support each other in positive ways. A space for honest and encouraging insights and tools to support you on your journey, get you through the hard days, and celebrate the victories, big and small - I am here for it all!
I envision this forum to be a healthy and safe place to explore challenges that affect us at this time in our lives. A place where we can share our collective joys, fears, inspirations and hopes- where support and empathetic encouragement can be both given and found.
We are a resource for one another. Together we can positively impact each other and thus our families and communities in ways we never imagined before.
What’s on your mind? I sincerely hope to connect with you and share in your story!
