Welcome to The 94 Percent.
We have a lot to say.
I worked with my therapist to help me formulate a plan to get through the first week and it was a godsend. Here are some tips if you are planning your transition back to work from family leave and/or if have colleagues or friends coming back to work after a huge life transition.
I encourage everyone who is struggling right now to stay connected to family and friends. Seek out therapy, reach out to those who care about you, and don’t be afraid to cry. Times are uncertain right now so it’s important to surround yourself with positive things.
Access to safe and voluntary family planning is a right all women should enjoy.
I encourage you to evaluate when you last took a break — not a vacation, or the break you may get during a holiday, or maternity leave (because we know maternity leave is not a holiday) — but an actual break.
I often wonder that when I do achieve a certain level of success, will I finally be able sit back and enjoy it or will it drive me to work harder?
As I watch my friends achieve some major life milestones, I find myself asking one question: Am I behind?
If you’re trying to develop a more intentional self care routine, here are some tips you can use.
