Finding a balance between work and a positive lifestyle at home is not easy for most women. As a woman in today’s world, even if they are provided with equal opportunities in some places, women are still subjected to unfair pay, quick judgements and many more man-made rules that curb her freedom.

Conventionally, women between the age of 33-54 keep juggling between different roles like motherhood, their career, taking care of elderly parents and being a homemaker.

Research and other studies show that women tend to suffer more, especially while working day and night, yet their male peers tend to receive applause. There is no proper system of help that can be offered to women at the workplace.

Society tends to bad-mouth a successful woman as an attention-seeker due to the achievements they have acquired. The stress from work and society destroys a woman’s morale and positivity. You might be wondering why is this such a big deal?

It is said that the hormonal functioning of a woman is slightly different from men; they respond to stress more emotionally, which physically exhausts them.
