Women go through various life stages, with each moment bringing a new set of challenges and opportunities. Yet we rarely speak openly about these, or share our knowledge and solutions with each other. We use euphemisms to describe periods rather than saying the word. We don't acknowledge leakages or admit that we don't know how to find our pelvic floor or even what it does. We buy trendy sports bras without thinking how they work for breast health or exercise performance. We see young women giving up exercise in their teens to the detriment of their health at an older age.

What we don't realise, however, is that this mindset is causing us to lose our ability to manage difficult situations.

You probably don't realise this, but every working day you replay and re-enact conflicts, dynamics and relationships from your past.
