Welcome to the February 2023 archive of EmpowerHer Hub. This month we rolled out a mix of how‑to guides, personal stories, and expert insights—all aimed at helping women level up in work, health, and finance. If you missed any post, you’re in the right place to catch up.
We started the month with a step‑by‑step guide on negotiating a raise. The article breaks down the conversation into three easy parts: research, rehearse, and request. Readers loved the printable salary‑benchmark worksheet that lets you compare your pay to industry standards.
Mid‑month we featured a story from Maya, a first‑time manager in tech. She shares three habits that helped her lead a remote team without burnout—setting clear expectations, using short daily check‑ins, and carving out “focus blocks” for deep work. Her tips sparked a lively comment thread where other women swapped their own productivity hacks.
February also brought a deep dive into managing anxiety at work. The piece combines breathing exercises, quick desk stretches, and a 5‑minute journaling prompt that resets your mindset before a big meeting. Readers reported feeling calmer and more confident after trying the routine.
We didn’t stop at the office. A feature on “Real‑Talk Friday” highlighted the power of peer support groups. It explains how to start a local women’s circle, what topics to cover, and how to keep meetings inclusive. The guide includes a free template for the first meeting agenda, so you can launch one this week.
On the money side, we posted a beginner‑friendly series on budgeting with the 50/30/20 rule. The article uses real‑world numbers to show how a $3,000 monthly income can be split into needs, wants, and savings. A downloadable spreadsheet helps you track each category and spot where you can cut back.
Later, a guest financial coach broke down the basics of investing in low‑cost index funds. She demystifies terms like “expense ratio” and walks you through opening a brokerage account step by step. The piece ends with a quick “starter portfolio” that anyone can adopt with as little as $100.
All these posts are still searchable and shareable, so you can revisit the advice whenever you need a boost. Bookmark this archive page, explore the topics that matter most to you, and keep coming back for fresh content every month.
