What is The Highwire
This blog is about womanhood. About the challenges inherent in attempting to walk the Highwire that is modern femininity.
Women today are expected to manage outstanding careers, loving relationships, fabulous lifestyles, abundant finances, maintain the body of a supermodel and the grooming of a finishing school graduate. All this is supposed to be balanced with family obligations, ticking biological clocks and the pressure to have a Tiffany diamond on their ring finger by 30. How we find the time to rack up credit card debt, emotionally eat and attract the wrong men boggles the mind.
I hope this blog becomes a space for stories of the real feminine. That by telling the truth about my experience other women feel empowered to do the same. Something magic happens when we stop biting our tongues, let our bellies out, laugh heartily and cry out.
