Hustle hangover: Why Millennial women need more rest.
Why are we so resistant to rest? Perhaps it's because we’re also a generation conditioned to compete.

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm a recovering calorie counter. Back in my late teens and twenties, I wrestled with my weight. I was what you might call a chubby girl.
