Recently, I was reflecting on my initial decision to leap into entrepreneurship. Starting my own business wasn’t something that I wanted to do just because it seems like the thing to do nowadays. Rather it was me committing and following through on a desire that was embedded in me at a young age. I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher, and back then, I thought it meant that I would have a classroom full of children.

Many women write self-care off as a luxury because they feel as though they don’t have the time for it or they feel that they haven’t accomplished enough to deserve it. In society, we as women are often regarded as less than, inferior to our male counterparts. Though a lot of us work just as hard as men, and in some cases harder, we still deal with this imbalance at work; sometimes it carries over into our personal lives.
