The Next Chapter

Regardless if she is single or partnered, with or without children, with one job forever or embarking on her fifth adventure, a woman’s life evolves rapidly, writing chapter after chapter after chapter.

I started thinking about the ways I cope with stress, what ways others have told me about how they cope with stress and then also what I do before and after a stress episode happens.
