After months of trying to hide her true circumstances, Stacey Duguid decided to go public about her situation. The response from fellow midlife women was huge.
You're spot on, Mara. It feels like we've spent too long keeping these struggles quiet, but speaking up is where the healing finally begins.

Definitely not enough, Mara. We need way more open discussions to break the silence on these specific struggles.
