We commonly live in a time where “women can do anything” in terms of our careers, we have more access to information on health and we all live largely in an era now where all kinds of information is at the reach of our fingertips. Looking after our families and our own health are often interconnected. As we need to look after our own well-being to also provide the best care and look after others. Looking after our own health more often then not becomes secondary to others. Getting that right balance is never easy and often feels elusive.
