This webpage is a place for Minnesota women of all ages to tell stories about their life transitions, and learn from one anothers’ insights and experiences.

Throughout history, telling our stories has been an important way women explore life’s meaning and life’s lessons with one another. Stories can inspire change, make others laugh or simply bring the satisfaction of sharing part of your life with others. Through stories of personal experience, women build knowledge, wisdom and traditions.

We hope that the stories you read and share here will provide hope and encouragement as you move through your own life changes – your transitions.

Transitions are times in our lives when things change. Sometimes the changes are planned such as with marriage or the birth of a baby. At other times changes can be unexpected as in illness or injury, or unwanted as in divorce or death. Sometimes these transitional changes are simply a part of the normal unfolding of our lives like the transition from adolescent to adulthood or from youth to old age. For some women transitions provide opportunities for personal insight and growth. For many other women, transitions and related changes come as life obstacles that are difficult or seemingly impossible to overcome.

We invite you to share your story. All stories are reviewed by a panel of health professionals before online posting. To submit your story, visit our story submission page.
