AUSTIN, Texas — Women today balance caregiving, careers, finances, and societal pressures, often at a heavy mental cost. The Junior League’s new initiative, “Every Woman, All Things,” aims to ease that burden through awareness, advocacy, and cultural change.
This morning, Sierra Waggoner sat down with Alice Glen, President of the Association of Junior League International, to discuss how the organization is supporting women everywhere.
Glen explained that women juggle many obligations—from work and family to aging parents—and it was time for a real solution. She emphasized that “Every Woman, All Things” focuses on creating a long-term roadmap for systemic change, setting it apart from other mental health or empowerment campaigns.
She shared how mental overload manifests in the lives of women served by the League: constant worry, stress over time and finances, and the mental toll that often goes unrecognized.
With nearly 125 years of civic leadership and a global reach, the Junior League brings a unique, impactful voice to the conversation. Glen highlighted the Junior League of Austin’s important community projects and how they offer meaningful involvement without overwhelming members.
For those watching, Glen encouraged starting small and reminded everyone that no one has to face these challenges alone.
“Every journey toward change can begin with a simple conversation,” she said.
Thanks to Alice Glen for joining us on We Are Austin this morning and sharing insight into this important initiative.
