![The Invisible Pressure on Women & Mothers
Today Im opening up on a requested topic; the invisible pressures felt be all kinds of women and mothers. Whether its the pressure to stay young and beautiful, the pressure to have children, and if you do, the pressure to do it perfectly while remaining your old self, the pressure to be all things at all times and to do it all perfectly. I dont have all the answers, but I try to shed some light and my own personal experience on the topic in todays chat.
