Mikelle recently sat down with Stefanie Peachey, owner of Peachey Counselling to talk about the unique life challenges women face and why seeking professional help is not only okay, it’s really important. In some age groups, the proportion of women with a diagnosed mood disorder is almost twice that of men.
Women often experience significant stress balancing their multiple roles and when you add in hormonal changes, things can get overwhelming.

In this episode you’ll discover:
Regardless of your struggle, recognizing that you’re not alone and how and when to seek help, are universal first steps that every woman needs, and deserves, to understand.
