Everyone says that the only constant we know in life is change. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/anthony_j_dangelo.html
We start learning life as little girls, hit the puberty minefield, develop a sense of who we are in our 20s, only to reinvent in our 30s. Every decade brings fabulous experiences, heartbreaks, realities of being employed in a male-defined world of work, reaching or missing society's defined milestones - degrees, careers, marriage, children...successes are met with loss. Celebrations are countered by grief. We are pressured to do great work in all of our roles with or without support. Sometimes these demands come from inside - our own internal locus of control - other times it comes from all of the external influences. Is anyone hearing their parents' voices in their head? How about your boss? Maybe a partner or your child?
Women are often putting everyone and everything ahead of our own needs. How do you keep balance in your life? What helps you to overcome the guilt? What do you need during a time of transition? How do you embrace the flux?
