Moms. Businessowners. Caretakers. Artists. Activists.
Women are involved in all kinds of endeavors.
Why not? Women with an entrepreneurial spirit are
innovators, trailblazers and producers. Women who are
driven to create and inspire others are artists and ath-
letes, scientists and healers, teachers and civic leaders.
Many women are moms, too, who often stand as the
heart of their families, tending to kids, spouses, and
households. Some also care for their parents while man-
aging outside jobs.
It's exciting to see women involved in a wide array of
activities, often with results that benefit their families
and communities. Still, even the most ardent women
need support every now and then, regardless of their
pursuits. That's true, perhaps, now, more than ever,
with so many of us coping with quarantine restrictions
and other challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
So, if you're a woman considering business owner-
ship, keep reading for the goods on running a company
while juggling parenthood, even during today's social
confinements. You'll also see personal wellness tips that
focus on getting through a
quarantine plus suggestions for
self-improvement.
But don't stop there. Be
sure to turn to the issue's back
cover for links to articles and
advice on being and becoming
your best you, yet.
Be well.
