The chosen method for further analysis of data collected from the interviews is a qualitative approach of thematic analysis. Called ‘template analysis’, this method is based on the researcher’s ability to produce a “list of codes (‘template’) representing themes identified in their textual data” (King, 2004 in Cassell and Symon, 2004, p. 256).

In my life this looks like being involved in a small group of women, having individual friends I meet or check-in with on a weekly basis, and having a mentor. While these people and relationships change over time, it is important to be engaged with people who will encourage you and who you can in turn…
