Do women really need men?
The debate over this question is endless. We, as humans, need relationships with others. That’s a given. We all need a sense of belonging and intimacy that is found through relationships.

About me
Exactly who is Sadie and why do I think I know anything about anything? Well, I certainly don’t know everything, but I have lived a long life and picked up a lot of little things that I hope will help those struggling with stress. Some of these little tidbits of knowledge came from being a
