Highlights:
1. A lot of factors, including media coverage, social media, supportive institutions have changed the sports industry and promoted female participation in sports.
2. For mothers trying to get back to workplace, they are not alone in their struggles and challenges. It is important to support them as they make their way back to the workplace.
3. Mindfulness is not a magic pill, but it can be in every daily activity that we do. It helps to clear our mind and feel more connected with our body.
Joanna主要观点：
1. 很多因素对体育产业的发展产生了重大影响，比如更加广泛的媒体报道，社交媒体的流行以及体育赛事支持机构的涌现。这些也都在一定程度上促进了女性参与体育运动和对体育产业的影响。
2. 对于那些试图重返职场的妈妈们来说，她们面临着各种各样的挑战，但她们并不孤单。尽力支持她们重返职场是非常重要的事情。
3. 正念不是万能的灵丹妙药，但它能让我们头脑更加清醒，更加身心合一。从每天日常生活中的小事去练习也是非常有益处的。
