"Women…we take care of everybody else so now it’s something to take care of us. Sometimes you have to take a minute to say, ‘Okay take care of me,’ because you can’t take care of everybody else if yourself isn’t taken care of. You do need to just take time and take care of yourself and making sure that your mind, body, and soul is taken care of," says Deborah Footman, an attendee.
