There are the tools and supports we can rely on to stay in balance, catch our balance and regain our balance!

How do women manage their mental load 24/7 • 365 Days?
Women in Business VOICE!™ sponsored by First Bank Chicago and the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce & Industry came together to discuss it.
Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own to-do list.
― Michelle Obama, lawyer, author, and former First Lady of the United States
