4 Stress Management Tips For Women Trying To Balance It All

But the long story short is: As women, we continue to prove that we can balance it all and then some. So the question is not just what can we do but how healthy and happy can we be while we do it?

"There has never been a more important time for women to be able to access ways to help alleviate stress. Since the pandemic began, most people's stress levels have increased, but women especially have had to bear the brunt of the new realities. For example, 2.5 million women had to leave the workforce as they bore the responsibility of taking care of the kiddos during at-home schooling. Winged strives to make products that specifically help women with stress and mood because when a woman isn't feeling stressed or overwhelmed, she is unstoppable."*

Women experience stress from a variety of factors, like hormones and female-specific sleep struggles. And that's why Winged products, created by women for women, are an ideal system for stress support—covering important areas like sleep, mood, and energy.* The stress that comes with being a woman, and doing it all, is real. But with these four stress management tips, we hope to take some of that weight off your shoulders!

With a roller coaster of hormones cycling through the body, it's no wonder women experience stress differently than men do. Research1 has shown that the menstrual cycle is a critical factor in stress sensitivity and that stress actually worsens menopausal challenges2. The relationship between stress and hormones is undeniable, which is why hormonal support like Winged Happy Start Mushroom Powder is key to stress management.* As a mood-boosting adaptogenic powder that can be added to any morning drink of choice, this daily mood support is made of mushrooms and adaptogens to maintain healthy hormonal balance.*

Adults who sleep less than eight hours a night experience more stress than those who sleep at least eight hours. But for women, it's even more complex, as hormonal swings can interrupt our sleep cycle3. The female-specific formula of Winged Sleepyhead Gummies not only contains melatonin, L-theanine, 5-HTP, and GABA for deeper sleep, but it also includes chaste tree berry extract, known to promote hormonal balance.* Plus, with passionflower, jujube, and lemon balm extracts, these delicious gummies help to quiet the mind as your head hits the pillow.*

Every woman knows a thing or two about juggling tasks... On a work call, at the grocery store, with a kid on your hip? Been there. Adequate energy levels are critical for staying ahead of the stress curve, and that's where Winged Rise Up Energy & Focus Gummies come in. Formulated with nootropic alpha-GPC and lion's mane, these gummies support brain health to promote clarity.* And for sustained energy (minus the jitters of an afternoon latte), they include extended-release caffeine, as much as a cup of green tea, to help you cruise through the afternoon and hit that to-do list out of the park.*

And yet—sometimes there won't be enough hours in the day to get it all done... And that's OK. A central element of stress management is knowing when to say no and strategically planning for chill time. For those sweet, quiet moments—make sure you have the Winged Chilled Out Powder elixir on hand. With magnesium and ashwagandha root extract, this blood-orange-flavored powder (mixed in your drink of choice) promotes a better mood and a calm mind.* Research says that many women have inadequate magnesium intake from their diet4, so you know this formula has your back.
