How do you balance your needs as a woman with tight schedules at work and other things like being a mother, and wife (for those whom this is applicable)?? I was thinking about the last time I had the time to go do my nails or get my hair done and it's disheartening how challenging it can be to connect with my femininity when my daily life revolves around numbers and precision.

You need to discuss this with your partner and schedule ME time. A woman can’t loose herself in family life and work. You need to preserve your own identity as an individual. Claim that time for you and work it out with your partner.

Oh! it can be quite challenging, especially when juggling responsibilities such as motherhood and being a wife. It's important to carve out time for self-care and activities that nurture your femininity, even amidst a busy schedule. Finding that balance often requires setting boundaries and prioritizing personal well-being alongside professional commitments, but you've got it. You just have to keep practicing it, almost like it's an extension of your job to find the time to not do your job.

I really don’t know how people do it without extended family members to lean on. My mom and sister are so helpful with the kids. They’re happy to take them for a few hours so I can take care of me.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
