This is a group for women in their 30s who feel they are going through major transitions in life, i.e., career, family, new home, friendships/relationships, spirituality, etc. As a woman in my 30's, I definitely experienced this transition and I am still going through it now. It seems that the 30's is such an important stage in life when you are redefining yourself, establishing yourself and asserting who you are as an adult in the world.
