International Women’s Day 2026: Give to Gain
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 March 8th
...See more This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Give to Gain,” a campaign that emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. The idea is simple but powerful: when we give encouragement, empathy, and help to others, we often gain connection, strength, and growth ourselves. On 7 Cups, this happens every day. A supportive reply, a kind message, or simply listening without judgment can make someone feel less alone. Even small acts of care can create ripple effects across the community. The Give to Gain theme reminds us that support is not one-sided. When we show up for others, we also gain: * A sense of purpose * Stronger connections with others * New perspectives and shared wisdom * A more compassionate community You don’t need perfect advice to help someone. Often, being present, listening, and showing kindness is more than enough. Let’s reflect together: 1) What is one small way you’ve given support to someone recently? 2) What did you gain from that experience? 3) What is one way you have supported another woman - or been supported by one - that made a real difference in your life? Thank you for being part of a community where every act of support matters. When we give to each other, we all grow stronger together.

Marriage/relationship advice?
by limeMango730
Last post
 July 30th
...See more Hello everyone, Im new here and would love an outside perspective. Everyone I know is a mutual friend of ours or just knows him in general. I’ve known my husband for over 20 years. Been together for 16 years and married nearly 12 years. There was a time where we broke up for a year but ended up getting back together and ultimately getting married and having 3 beautiful kids. Im a stay at home mom btw. I’m just curious and I’m being so serious. Do husbands actually help with the kids in all aspects and household duties? Apart from that women who have been in relationships for a while, do you feel like your husbands are genuinely into/interested in you? I ask because I’m legitimately on the brink of losing it and considering divorce. I love him very much but I feel so alone. Sure he’s there financially, but the way he sees it is if he paid for it he did all he needed to do. A summary of his words IDK….I feel like I’m in a friends with benefits situation and I’m exhausted! We sleep in separate rooms btw…It’s been like that since my youngest was born because he couldn’t be bothered by crying because he had to get up in the morning for work. (My youngest is 2yo)He only seems interested when he wants sex and leaves me breadcrumbs lead up to it… Idk I’m at a loss emotionally/mentally and I can see it taking a toll on how I react to my kids. Idk I just need perspective from others because I’m constantly analyzing and I feel like I’m going to go crazy! I’ve had conversations with him about how I feel and he always takes offense and then shuts down, gives me the silent treatment and acts like I don’t matter or he never knew me. So I stopped bringing it up because it’s the same cycle over and over again. I just wanted to feel like he truly wanted me and tbh I feel like a single married woman.

Cycle sickness
by Magicpawsoffuture
Last post
 June 2nd
...See more I know in the past women were taught that getting really sick with their cycles was not a big deal. But it is a real issue that women go through, and it needs to be treated that way. I know what it’s like to suffer from getting really sick and having no one take you seriously. I finally was able to get help after an event that knocked some sense into the other people in my life. If you are a woman going through this, please get help—you do NOT deserve to suffer through it. My question to the group is: has anyone else gone through this? I have never met anyone else who has experienced this before.   @ShadowFaerie [https://www.7cups.com/@ShadowFaerie]

If you could ask anything without embarrassment

...See more I’ve noticed so many people carry quiet questions about sex and health but never dare to say them out loud. Sometimes they’re about what feels good, sometimes about what’s safe, and sometimes about how bodies really work If you had the chance to ask something without any embarrassment, what would it be?

...See more Good time zone, Ladies! Yesterday, we all discussed the things we did not want cycled into our relationships or marriages. I'm proud of the responses that I saw, because we are a collective of strong women who deserve to be heard and respected, no matter who it is we are romantically involved with <3  Now, let us get into this morning's discussion. Today, I wanted to speak on the topic "Work Environments".  Discussion Question: What is something you feel women deserve more of within the Work field?  I will use myself as an example: I feel that women (including myself) deserve to be honored at work. We deserve to say "no" and maintain our boundaries appropriately, no matter the circumstances.

...See more Good time zone, ladies,  I wanted to discuss something fresh on my mind that I wanted to take time to think about before I actually did a forum discussion. Today's discussion topic is: What is a breaking point in a friendship?  I ask this because, as women, we all have different expectations of our friendships. So I ask, what are the expectations you have for your friendships, what do you feel they should do better with, and what do you feel you should do better with?
