Wow. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with what comes out of our mouths. Yup, one of us is having trouble processing this from writer Elizabeth Gilbert: 

From Elizabeth Gilbert:

“The actual facts are that women who do not have children and are not married, live longer than women who are married with children. They earn more money. They are healthier. They are less likely to die of suicide, less likely to report themselves depressed and anxious, and more sexually satisfied than women who are married with children. So the opposite is true of men, that married men do not outperform single men. And the reason for that is that women pour their lives into their partners, and so they literally exchange literal years of their life by pouring into their partner, uplifting their partner who will then thrive and succeed and prosper and the women will wilt in the giving – which is what we are taught.” 

Your thoughts. Please tell us.

What pushes you to the limit between work, family, school, and crazy schedules? Fall is a great time to reset. We have different coping strategies, but bone broth? Guess who uses that to destress.
