Reclaiming Balance: How Women Can Overcome the Daily Grind and Rebuild Well-Being Modern life demands constant motion. Between work, relationships, family, and digital noise, women often carry overlapping roles that leave little room for rest. The daily grind—emails, commutes, chores, caregiving—can quietly erode energy and joy. Yet balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a survival skill.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AWARENESS MONTH!
March is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. Muscular Dystrophy is a hereditary disorder that causes an individual's muscles to weaken over time. Muscles in our body control every movement, including our hearts and other organs. Without the function of muscles, depending on the severity, it can cause our body to stop functioning properly. This disorder often occurs during the beginning of a child's life, but has also been known to show up during middle age or later. Depending on the person, there are different types of severity. The most severe cases usually occur earlier on during life. Some people are able to live a very healthy and normal life, while others who become victim to the disorder may lose their life as early as late teens or early 20's. According to Medical News Today, "one out of every 3,500 to 5,000 boys are born with MD and there are about 400-600 new cases each year in the United States (Medical News Today)." Also, females who carry the gene have a 50% chance of passing the gene on to their child or inheriting it themselves. There are several different types of MD, some of which may only affect a specific portion of the muscles. The following is a list of the different forms of Muscular Dystrophy.
