Happy anniversary 
! It's been three consecutive years promoting female empowerment and serving as a bridge for unity and support between us women. Greetings to all valuable women that are members of this beautiful community, wishing for many more years to come, growing and making our voices heard
LOH is one of the first communities I was drawn to, and it has been a breath of fresh air to see such healthy dynamic between members, the way to shelter and content, to support in moments of doubt and to celebrate the achievements of each one of us.

LOH is one of the first communities I was drawn to, and it has been a breath of fresh air to see such healthy dynamic between members, the way to shelter and content, to support in moments of doubt and to celebrate the achievements of each one of us.Being all different women, with different backgrounds and lifestyles that vary from one another this is a window to watch and learn from each other and it is really wonderful to be a part of this growing community.
And here is where I get to answer this week's questions...
1️⃣How has joining Ladies of Hive benefitted you?
I have always been a lonely person, and it is not because I prefer it this way. I have a neurodivergence (ASD), and it is very complicated for me to keep a friendship. In fact, every social situation is complicated for me somehow. I am really clumsy when it comes to communicating in an assertive manner and I tend to live inside my head which can get overwhelming. That is why my friend circle is very closed and in many occasions I refrain from speaking of certain things because I feel they're inadequate or out of place.
Having a platform in which I get to express myself has been a greatly positive experience, because in one hand I get to learn from interactions, and on the other hand I have this tool that enables me to vent and express being my true self.
I made my first post a few days ago and being able to see the support I received, to feel heard, understood. That I can speak freely of how I feel, my frustration without the fear of being judged in an environment that is positive and stimulating.
2️⃣If you were the LOH judge this week, what TWO questions would you ask?
There is an enormous stigma against mental health and it's related topics. Many women spend a lifetime battling without getting a proper diagnose, in fact, many women don't even dare attending to an specialist. We are simply marked as hysteric and over dramatic.
That is why, if I were a LOH judge this week, my questions would be:
- What actions do you recommend to keep control in difficult moments?
- In which aspects of your life you are grateful for not being 100% in control?
With this I'm out and I send a big warm hug to all those great women that are part of this valuable community. Giving special thanks to my friend 
whom invited me to participate, and has always been there motivating me to achieve my goals.

LOH ha sido una de las primeras comunidades que me atrajo, y la verdad ha sido una bocanada de aire fresco observar la dinámica tan sana entre miembros, la manera de acoger y dar contención, apoyar en las inquietudes y celebrar los logros de cada una de nosotras.
Siendo mujeres tan distintas, con estilos de vida que varían en cada una de nosotras es una ventana para observar y aprender las unas de las otras y realmente maravilloso el poder ser parte de esta comunidad creciente.
Y es aquí donde me dedico a responder las preguntas de esta semana...
1️⃣¿Cómo te ha beneficiado unirte a Ladies of Hive?
Siempre he una persona solitaria, y no porque así lo prefiera. Tengo una neutodivergencia (TEA), y me resulta realmente complicado mantener amistades. De hecho toda situación social me resulta complicada de alguna manera. Soy realmente torpe a la hora de comunicarme asertivamente y tiendo a vivir dentro de mi cabeza lo cual puede resultar agobiante. Es por ello que mi círculo de amistades es sumamente reducido y en muchas ocasiones me privo de hablar muchas cosas porque siento que son inadecuadas o que estoy fuera de lugar.
Tener una plataforma el la cuál puedo expresarme ha sido una experiencia realmente positiva, pues por un lado aprendo de las interacciones, y por otro lado tengo una herramienta para desahogarme y expresarme siendo yo misma.
Realice mi primera publicación hace poco y ver el apoyo, sentir que soy leída, comprendida. Que puedo hablar libremente de como me siento, de mi frustración sin miedo a ser juzgada en un ambiente positivo y estimulante.
2️⃣Si fueras el juez de LOH ésta semana ¿Qué dos preguntas harías?
Existe un enorme estigma con los temas relacionados con la salud mental. Muchas mujeres pasan la vida entera batallando sin obtener ningún tipo de diagnóstico, es más, sin atreverse a acudir a un especialista. Somos simplemente tachadas de histéricas y dramáticas.
Es por eso que si fuera juez de LOH ésta semana, mis preguntas serían las siguientes:
¿Qué acciones recomiendas para mantener el control en los momentos difíciles?
¿En qué aspectos de tu vida agradeces el no tener el control al 100%?
Con esto me despido y envío un caluroso abrazo a todas esas grandes mujeres que forman parte de esta valiosa comunidad. Agradeciendo en especial a mi amiga quien me ha invitado a participar, y siempre está impulsandome a lograr mis objetivos.
