When you face stress and difficult situations in your day-to-day life, how do you respond? Maybe you work longer hours, scroll through social media, have a few cocktails, binge watch Netflix, eat a pint of ice cream, ruminate about your frustration, drink more coffee…the list could go on and on. Thus, our stress persists. Most of us do not turn towards our stress; instead, we resist. And what we resist, persists.

March is one of my favorite times of the year. Spring is just around the corner, bursting with life and hope and blooming with fresh perspectives. It is also Women’s History Month—a month to pause and remember all the amazing women who have spoken their truth, with compassion and grace, to improve rights not just for women, but for all of us. When I reflect on the courageous women who have inspired me, I think of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. To me, RBG epitomized the complete human—not only did she rise to great levels as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, but she also built a marriage that allowed personal growth for both partners and was an amazing role model and mother to her children.
