Body Image. Where do we even begin? If you are a human reading this, you have a story with your own body image, whether it be positive or negative, destructive or supportive. On January 19, 60 women from the community came together for a discussion on body image. It was raw, vulnerable, and most importantly powerful. When we can collectively address where these struggles come from, how to seek help, and support one another on the journey, we give the negativity and self-talk less power.

On November 17 we welcomed Megan Amos to the She Unites stage for an evening of talking all things boundaries and the power of saying no. Megan is LMHC and owner of Compass Counseling in Dubuque. And oh momma did she deliver a killer presentation with a wonderfully vulnerable Q and A to round out our 2021 programming. Follow along with her presentation slides below and buckle up for the knowledge you know you need to power yourself through the holiday season.

Life gets hectic. We lose sight of ourselves, our health, our goals, and our dreams, and self-care gets completely lost in the shuffle.

Can you relate to any of that?

On October 20, we welcomed Megan Gross, Certified Nurse Midwife and Fertility Specialist, to She Unites. This just so happened to be our largest turnout since we launched in April and we have a good guess as to why….women’s health can be mysterious. But Megan broke down all of the unknown about how our hormones fluctuate throughout our cycles and most importantly how to hack your life to make it all feel more tolerable. Not to mention, this particular night was more like one-third presentation and two-thirds question and answer with Megan. Enjoy this quick recap of her talk!

All of us are busy, whether we’re working, momming, or just being our typical badass selves, life is busy. Don’t let your busy schedule interfere with your health. Self-care isn’t all wine and manicures. The most important type of self-care is ensuring that you’re caring for yourself. Remember you go through life in your body, she will carry you through your entire time on earth, so make sure she’s in tip-top condition!

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.

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.

“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.

Why do you get out of bed in the morning? What powers you through the hard days? These are the questions we are challenging you to answer.

We had such an incredible turnout for our first event. Read up on some of the positive responses and press She Unites is recieving!

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.
