Bearing the Burden: Unpacking the Impact of Stress on Women’s Mental Health

Women have such a higher percentage of mental health issues
because we are storing and holding stress in our bodies
and it makes us sick. I was shocked to hear how many women
have been dealing with panic attacks

and asking myself the question of
what am I doing all of this for
if the quality of my life is not going to be amazing?
