Women have always been instrumental in solving personal, communal, and global issues. In your desire to build a strong, intentional community, the women of She Unites Iowa have an opportunity to rise to the occasion as I discuss the delicate and crucial issue of racism.

A group of thirty women came together last week to talk all things money with Logan Lynch at She Unites. We broke down where our money mindset comes from and what we can do to have a healthy relationship with money.

“How do I achieve a healthy work-life balance?” Over 22,000 people each month Google this topic and countless self-help books try to answer this exact question. I am not going to tell you that I figured out the magical equation to achieving a healthy work-life balance. However, I will share with you my personal journey towards a work-life integration that makes me happy and more importantly, healthy.

Twenty-five wonderful women gathered on Wednesday, June 16 for an evening of breaking down ridiculous notions of needing to constantly be performing. Enjoy these notes from our speaker for the evening, Adele Herman.

Hi everyone! My name is Abby, I’m a mental health therapist. I am so excited about SHE UNITES because it feels like a great opportunity to connect with others and build each other up. That is so amazing for our mental health! I would love to be part of a group of women that encourage each other to reach all different kinds of life goals! Wouldn’t you? I think starting in a place where we can get past shame hang-ups is essential.

What started as a simple conversation about how Nat Finley and Adele Herman needed to make some friends, evolved into a full-blown, legal non-profit organization. Seems like quite the leap to take in a four-month period.

We are so much more than a non-profit. We are a for-impact organization.

Today we celebrate women, how far we’ve come and where we are going. Tell the women in your life how amazing they are because let’s be real, women are freaking incredible.
