“I used to have dreams and goals for myself!
Nowadays my life seems to revolve around dancing to the tunes of
others. I have precious little time for myself and find it very
difficult to say 'no!' to colleagues, family or friends. I dance to
many tunes all at once: motherhood, lover, employee, friend,
daughter, sister, boss, counsellor, cook, cleaner, wife and more!
The sad thing is that I have danced to the tunes of others for such
a long time that I have almost forgotten my own music; my dreams,
skills and desires feel like they are drowned out forever. I feel
tired, worn out and I hardly even know what my music is anymore...”
Dancing this dance and trying to balance work and
life, can lead to exhaustion, stress, illness and often burnout.
 About Dancing
'Round the Handbags®
Dancing Round the Handbags® is a
book and a series of workshops aimed at women and intended to support them to
stop juggling and start balancing work and life.
86% of
caring responsibilities in a family are carried out by women and of the 70% of
women who work outside the home, 66% are mothers of children under 16; around
half work part time. Women frequently report that they have little time for self
- but if up to 50 hours are spent caring and 38 hours working, the fact is that
there is no time for self. Is it any wonder that 80% of all sickness absence is
stress related - 46% due to worklife imbalance?
Age
discrimination exponentially affects people over 54 and women are
impacted most. One third of all 1960’s baby boomers do not
contribute to a pension and 1 in 4 will live in poverty.
What are we doing to ourselves? Our wellbeing is
reducing, our stress increasing and the demands on our time are
rising. Burn out, heart disease, cancer and other diseases are on
the increase.
It is time to stop the dance - it is time to stop the
music for a while, leave the dance floor, and take a look at
how to create the life and work you want.
Dancing Round the
Handbags is dedicated to women's personal development and if willing
to really be engaged in its metaphors and lessons, we guarantee it
will support ways for women to dance their best life.
