About This Space

Women Still Trying, and everything published here, is a space for reflection, support, and education. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical or mental health advice, and reading here doesn’t create a practitioner-client relationship. What I share comes from over 25 years of this work, and it’s meant to sit alongside professional care, never in place of it.

If you’re in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out for immediate support: in the US, call or text 988, or contact your local emergency services. You deserve real-time care, and it exists.
