Written by: CJ Stasik As women navigating high-powered careers, balancing multiple roles and striving for excellence in everything we do, we’re all too familiar with the pressure to get everything perfect. Whether you’re running your own business or climbing the corporate ladder, the desire to maintain control can sometimes lead to micromanagement—both of others and ourselves. But here's the truth: micromanagement stifles growth, creativity, and trust. As women, we often fall into this trap because of the societal expectations placed on us. We’re conditioned to believe that in order to achieve success, we must do it all and do it perfectly. This

There were a lot of major takeaways from the COVID-19 pandemic, but a surge of interest in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and why its standards matter was at the top of that list for millions of Americans desperately looking for safe and effective answers. Many people learned about how stringent FDA regulations are for the first time during this collective limbo, and it shed new light on the important oversight the agency provides for keeping us healthy.  In addition to determining food and product safety, the FDA has the authority to regulate over-the-counter fertility drugs and at-home treatments. The

Written by Marwa Ibrahim Ever left a chat with your parents feeling completely wiped out? You walked in hoping for support, but instead, you got a flood of criticism, unsolicited advice, or the same old arguments on repeat. By the end, you're not just drained—you’re wondering why you even started the conversation. Here’s the thing: many of us dive into these discussions without a clear sense of what we truly need. Clarity is key! Next time, take a moment to pinpoint your intention. Do you need advice, reassurance, or simply a chance to vent? Communicate it early—something as simple as, “I just

Can we talk???!!!!! Let’s be real and honest for a second—being a female entrepreneur or visionary leader means wearing a million hats. You’re juggling your business, family, and everything else in between, and constantly feeling the pressure to be and do all the things. Thank you society and conditioning!! Fun fact  pushing through the chaos and trying to do it all perfectly? That will burn you out, fast. Overwhelm, self-doubt, burnout, and that never-ending struggle to find balance can make you wonder if you’re even cut out for this. And that my friends was the point. But I’m here to tell

Written by Marwa Ibrahim Category: Home + Family Date: Feb 13, 2025 What’s the difference between loving your family and enjoying your family? For me, it’s about achieving connection. We often get stuck in misunderstandings that have accumulated over the years, even starting way back in childhood. Thankfully, as adults, we have the opportunity to transform these relationships into more comfortable and joyful ones. It may seem challenging, but I assure you it’s absolutely possible. Achieving this connection involves understanding your own needs and preferences. After all, how can you ask to be communicated with in a way that makes you feel whole if

Let’s talk about love - real, deep, soul-nourishing love. Not just the butterflies and candlelit dinners kind, but the kind of love that starts within. The love that says, I am worthy, I am whole, and I deserve care - just as I am. As women, we pour so much into others - our families, our careers, our relationships - that we often leave ourselves running on fumes. But love isn’t just something we give; it’s something we embody. And true self-care? It’s not just bubble baths and spa days (though, let’s be real, those are absolutely amazing). It’s about creating

Written by Evelyn Cucchiara, The Toy Tamer Cleaning up toys might seem like a simple chore, but for kids, it’s actually a powerful exercise in building executive functioning skills. These skills—like planning, organization, task initiation, and self-regulation—are essential for success in school, relationships, and everyday life.   1. Planning & Organization  When children put toys away, they have to think about where each item belongs. This requires them to recall the original location, categorize objects, and decide how to fit everything back in an organized way. These are the same skills they’ll use later when organizing schoolwork, following multi-step directions, or managing their time.   2.

This year, what if we danced like our lives depend on it, because maybe our lives don’t actually depend on it but certainly the most alive version of us does. I don’t know about you but I am deeply invested in living the most empowered version of my life, and one thing I have been missing these last few years is the way dancing empowers me and fills my life with unbounded joy.  Dance is a language all to itself, it expands our way of connecting outside of the spoken word. Dance is creativity, it is a way of sparking our curiosity.

Written by Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche, Ph.D.  The internet is a powerful thing—for instance, after I received an unexplained infertility diagnosis, my doctor prescribed $10,000 worth of in-clinic IUI. Instead, I conducted my own research to figure out the next steps for my family, which eventually led me to start PherDal. But finding answers to your fertility questions online isn’t very straightforward, with much of the information out there being false or even dangerous.  I understand your frustration firsthand. If you’re looking for non-medicated methods to boost fertility, rest assured: you’re in the right place. PherDal is here for natural and affordable fertility
