Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time.

That flexibility is one of the field's strengths, but it also makes career planning complicated.

PMDD versus PMS: When Premenstrual Symptoms Are More Than “Just Hormones”

There is a particular kind of distress that many women with PMDD know intimately. For part of the month, they may feel steady, capable, loving and connected to themselves. Then, somewhere after ovulation, something changes. Their emotional world becomes sharper. The body feels heavier. The mind becomes more easily overwhelmed. A small relationship tension can feel enormous. A passing worry can become consuming. A woman may look at her life, her partner, her work or even herself through an entirely different emotional lens.

The Warrior Without a Mentor: A Journey from the Walls of the Past

I was born into a landscape of hard lines and grey skies—a small Scottish mining village where the air felt thick with more than just coal dust. It was a place of financial poverty, yes, but more significantly, it was a place of a "poverty of being." Even as a toddler, I knew I was an outlier. While the adults around me moved through life on rigid rails of presumption and judgment, I sensed something else. To me, the world wasn't solid or unquestionable; it was energetic, spacious, and vibrating with possibility. I could see the walls my parents lived within—not physical walls, but structures of thought and survival strategies they had built to protect themselves from a world they perceived as hostile.
