Work

One very real source of stress for many women comes from feeling manipulated, cornered, powerless, and voiceless to those in their lives who are finding subtle and obvious ways to bully them into submission. Instead, we are made to feel inadequate about our parenting decisions. Or we’re verbally judged in front of others about our relationships. Maybe someone publicly embarrasses us.

These bullies in our lives aren’t found on the playground. They’re at work. They’re at church. They’re our friends. They’re our neighbors. They’re our family. They’re where we go to unwind and relax after work. They can even be in our own homes.
