Working women are so accustomed to holding everything together. We manage our home life, making sure our children, husband, dog, and cat have clean clothes and cooked food at their fingertips. Okay, so the dog and cat don’t need clothing and cooked food, but we make sure they are clean and fed. We also make sure each family member gets where they need to be, on time, with all of their equipment or materials. The demands of home life can be stressful.
Then there is work. We do our best to deal with the workload, the personalities and our own stuff. Work stress is often overwhelming. We sometimes try to do it all to our own detriment.
Working women may get themselves in a bind because they refuse to accept help when it is offered. Yes, I know the Superwoman shield feels good, but event Superwoman had her kryptonite.
EJ Speaks encourages all to accept help when it is offered. It does not take anything from you and it may even propel you closer to what you want to accomplish.
Here are several offers we’ve put together to help you:
