I think that as women, we're stuck at home with... a lot of them with young children or older children, and they had to not only figure out how to work from home, helping their kids with school, being, you know, isolated and being expected to be able to take on all of this stuff, and they were just climbing the walls. Women were just climbing the walls.

I got a lot of emails and these gals were really, really frustrated and their self-esteem. It was, why can't I do this? I'm not used to being home all day. I have no structure. I have no outside people telling me, you know, this is due now. What are you doing? You're going to, you know. They got overwhelmed. It was really heartbreaking. It was too much. So they reached out for help.
