Women are extraordinary. The same as a species, yet unique as individuals. Women are powerful, resilient and ever-evolving. Some days, I feel like Dr. Jekyll — chill and in control. Other days, I wake up as Mr. Hyde, hijacked by emotions I don’t understand. That’s why, on the afternoon of 14 March, I found myself hanging on to every word of Marilen Gonzalez-Elizalde’s talk on female hormones at the luxurious Anya Resort Tagaytay. Her lecture, “Mindful Conversations with Marilen,” was part of the resort’s Women’s Month celebration.
