narratives

Welcome to our library, filled with women’s stories. Voices are so personal and they mirror our doubts, history, gifts, identity, secret dreams. Each time we speak, we’re revealing something about ourselves – what we’re proud of and, perhaps, what we most want to hide.

Here we help you nourish your family and yourself, sharing vignettes that resonate and easy to implement ideas. Click on the categories below – relationships, health & wellness, career change & retirement, self discovery – to read articles about each subject. You’re unique, and can tailor the material so that it works for you.

Discover parallels to your own experience and gain insight into your personal drama. Explore the Stepping Stones at the end of each story and use the resources as tools in your own transition. Then send us your narrative so you too can enlighten other women.
