Could be serious, could be fun. All of us know really useful and interesting stuff, what would you like other women to know?

Be kind to yourself, especially when you're struggling. This one is tough for me because I'm forever calling myself an idiot or lazy when I know I'm neither of those things. But talking down to yourself is harmful and demoralizing*. I'm really trying to practice patience with myself, and to talk to myself as kindly as I would a dear friend. And praise yourself when you do something well!

* Unless I know I'm being genuinely lazy, then a verbal kick in the pants can help ;)
