by Nicole Lance It can be lonely at the top, but you don’t have to feel alone. Women leaders in particular experience high levels of isolation as they climb the career ladder. There aren’t as many women leaders as men, so there is a natural thinning of a supportive crowd. This is complicated by pressures – perceived or real – to not show weakness, to have it all together, and to keep their problems to themselves so... 5/22/2024 4:47:41 PM
by Karen Schuder, EdD, MDiv, MAM Imagine a preschooler doing a prolonged wheelie on a tricycle. Short legs pumping hard to turn the pedals, red streamers flying off the handle bars while the front wheel is up in the air. Yes, it is a goofy metaphor, but we know such a trick would not be sustainable. Organizations, like tricycles, go much further with all three wheels working well. Yet how many times do we provide helping services... 5/22/2024 4:00:00 AM

by Stephanie McLeod-Estevez, LCPC May is Women’s Health month, a time when preventative care is highlighted. As a young breast cancer survivor, I’m grateful for how medical screening saved my life.

Anxiety and dread about medical screening can prevent people from getting the testing they need. This is particularly... 4/27/2024 4:00:00 AM
by Jenn Ryan Many of us are swayed by advertising. Commercials that show happy cows in a pasture, a package of beef that says “free-range” or “grass-fed”or “organically-raised:” it seems easy to make the right choices at the supermarket. We as consumers are convinced we know how to tell good food from bad food, best practices from worst practices, and healthy nutrition from the stuff that just mimics it. But is... 4/25/2024 4:00:00 AM
by Loretta Breuning Too much wellness can be a real problem. If you always feel like you haven’t done enough, you create stress that burdens your body. You undermine the well-being you seek if you constantly berate your diet and exercise choices. You are better off celebrating your healthy lifestyle choices instead.“But I haven’t done enough!” you may say. This conundrum is real. Goals stimulate the joy of dopamine as... 4/16/2024 4:00:00 AM

by Jen Johnson We have all done it at one time or another – in a difficult moment when we already feel emotional pain, we send a second arrow of suffering toward ourselves with critical self-talk. We say things to ourselves that we would never say to someone else, and on some level, we feel we deserve it.Our harsh words may vary, but the themes are often similar—“What was I thinking?”?” “I’m so stupid” “What is wrong... 4/13/2024 4:00:00 AM
by Sherrie Campbell Life is forever challenging for us all. We carry pains and life’s lessons all the way through. None of us are exempt from these sharper edges. We are here to grow. The signature purpose and intention behind life’s sharper edges is to provide us that very opportunity. What might seem like and enemy will likely turn out to be the only possible thing that could have caused us enough discomfort to finally... 4/12/2024 4:00:00 AM
