It was an absolute honor to be the title sponsor for the 2026 Women’s Leadership Conference. Thank you to the for another wonderful event where over 400 women gathered together to hold space for honest conversation about boundaries, mental load, health, and taking back control of our time and energy.
Many women are conditioned, often from a young age, to prioritize others’ needs first. Whether it’s family, partners, children, coworkers, or even friends, there’s a strong cultural narrative around being “the one who holds everything together.” That can look like managing households, remembering everyone’s appointments, offering emotional support, and keeping things running smoothly. Over time, this creates a default mindset: take care of everything else, then take care of yourself if there’s time left.
The problem is, there often isn’t time left.
When you’re constantly in that role, your own needs—physical, emotional, and mental—get pushed down the priority list. That can show up in small ways, like skipping meals, not getting enough sleep, or ignoring early signs of stress or illness. But over time, it can become bigger: delaying doctor visits, normalizing chronic fatigue, or brushing off symptoms because “it’s not a big deal” compared to everything else going on.
The shift comes when women start to recognize that their well-being isn’t optional or secondary—it’s foundational. Taking care of yourself isn’t taking away from others; it actually makes everything else more sustainable. Boundaries, rest, regular healthcare, and even small acts of self-care aren’t luxuries—they’re maintenance for a life that’s often carrying a lot.
Kristina and colleagues Mary Lee Snodgrass, RPH and Shannon Atkinson, APRN NP-C took the stage to connect and engage with the audience by answering their most burning questions regarding women’s health. It was a privilege to help educate and share knowledge with a room full of women hungry for answers.
