This community is a safe space to share about your mental health, physical health and anything else related to the issues you face as a woman. People who advocate for and support women are also welcome to join this community. Topics that are encouraged include: * Sharing our personal stories * Inspiration from books or podcasts * In-depth discussions and expert tips To celebrate this launch, we are hosting a live group chat room event on Wednesday the 8th of February at 1 PM EDT in the Special Events chatroom. Join us to connect with others who are excited about this space growing, share the topics that feel most concerning to you, and stay tuned for a special surprise!

Rethinking Authentic Self-Care
by Mya000
Last post
Sunday
...See more In recent times, the concept of self-care has become increasingly prevalent in our discourse, and rightfully so. However, as we delve deeper, it becomes apparent that much of what is marketed as self-care often revolves around superficial practices. We are bombarded with messages suggesting that self-care equates to purchasing makeup, indulging in skincare routines, and essentially funnelling our resources into industries that thrive on undermining our self-esteem. It perpetuates the notion that our appearance is the sole aspect of ourselves worthy of attention. True self-care goes encompasses nurturing ourselves holistically. It involves taking genuine care of our physical and mental well-being, nourishing ourselves, prioritizing our health, and engaging in activities that genuinely bring us joy and fulfilment — activities that resonate with us on a personal level, not dictated by societal standards or trends. * What is self-care to you? * How do you currently practice self-care and incorporate it into your daily life? * In what ways do you aspire to improve your self-care practices?

Introducing Myself

...See more Hey lovelies! 🥰 My name is Kayla 🌸 I just wanted to introduce myself and tell y'all a little bit about me. TW: SEXUAL TRAUMA To start off, I am a mom to 3 wonderful little kiddos! They are currently 5, 5, and 6. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a bearded dragon, and 2 turtles. I am a recovering addict, currently 2.5 years. My sober date is June 8th, 2021. I have been through a lot of trauma in my life. It all started when I was 6 years old. My adoptive father sexually, emotionally, and physically abused me from 6-13. My supposed biological father then did the same from 12-17. After I had my son at 18, I went through a few relationships that turned violent as well. Through everything though, I have kept my head held high and every time I get knocked down, I get back up. I also have a bunch of health issues as well. I struggle with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), Secondary Infertility, Hypotension, Vasovagal Syncope, 3 different heart conditions, and a whole long list of other medical issues. My point in telling all of you this is: I have been through a lot. I am very sweet and kind. And now y'all know that you guys can talk to me about anything that you need to! My inbox is always open to anyone who needs a listening ear 💕If you message me when I am offline, I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I am the love that nurtures my foundation  I have the mind of an elephant, the loyalty of a tigress and the strength of Queen I am stronger than what anyone anticipates  I have the ability to open doors to new opportunities  I can balance my inner strength and external strength like a beautiful pond  My intelligence is as strong as a warrior woman
Moving Beyond the Heroic Narrative in Women's Rights Discourse
by Mya000
Last post
March 15th
...See more In the discourse surrounding women's rights and feminism, we repeatedly hear praise for the strong, the heroic, the fighters, the warriors, and the inspiring women among us. These are the narratives that dominate our discussions, the stories we hold up as examples of empowerment and resilience. But what about the others? What about those who are weakened by the suffering they endure, those who do not survive it? Are they to be labelled as weak? This notion of strength and weakness is a construct that serves to burden women further, placing the responsibility for their situation squarely on their shoulders rather than on the oppressors. I believe it's time to acknowledge all women deserve to be safe and treated equally, regardless of their perceived strength or resilience. I, for one, am exhausted by the endless stream of empowerment speeches that fail to hold those responsible for the systemic issues to account. Instead of placing the burden on women to be strong, let's direct our focus towards dismantling the systems of oppression that perpetuate inequality and injustice. Let's shift the narrative away from praising individual resilience and towards collective action against those responsible for creating and perpetuating these injustices. Note: This post deviates from my usual content, but after reflection, I felt compelled to share these thoughts as I believe they might offer valuable insights to some ♡

International Women's Rights Day

Last post
March 14th
...See more Today, March 8th, is International Women's Rights Day. It's a day to celebrate the achievements and progress made in the fight for gender equality, but it's also a day to reflect on the challenges that still lie ahead. As we commemorate this day, let us remember all the women around the world who endure immense discrimination and suffering. The reality they face is unbearable, but we must not turn a blind eye to their pain. We must hold space in our hearts for these women, offering compassion and support in whatever way we can. Let us remember our fight is not solely for ourselves, but for all women, especially those whose voices are silenced and whose stories go untold. If you ever need someone to talk to, know I am here for you. Take care of yourselves, and let's support the fight for women's rights, today and every day.
