[Verse 1]
I can't walk to my car late at night while on the phone
I can't open up my windows when I'm home alone
I can't go to the bar without a chaperone
I can't wear a mini-skirt if it's the only one I own
I can't use public transportation after 7pm
I can't be brutally honest when you slide into my DMs
I can't go to the club just to dance with my friends
And I can't ever leave my drink unattended

[Chorus]
But it sure is a scary time for boys
Yeah, gentlemen band together make some noise
It's really tough when your reputation's on the line
And any woman you've assaulted could turn up any time
Yeah, it sure is a scary time for guys
Can't speak to any woman or look her in the eyes
It's so confusing, is it r**e or is it just being nice?
So inconvenient that you even have to think twice

[Verse 2]
I can't live in an apartment if it's on the first floor
I can't be wearing silk pajamas when I answer the door
I can't have another drink even if I want more
And I can't make you feel invalid, unseen, or ignored
I can't jog around the city with headphones on my ears
I can't speak out against my ra**st after 35 years
I can't be taken seriously if I'm holding back tears
And I can't ever speak earnestly about all these fears

It is with my sincerest gratitude that I announce the closure of Bounce Be Transformed. I cannot close this chapter of my life without returning to the beginning. In 2004, I envisioned a community of women dedicating time in journeying to be the best versions of themselves. Then, in my 32 years of practice, I gathered the tools, knowledge and wisdom to share with the women of the world. It was an awakening journey and certainly exceeded all of my expectations.

Our first event was in October of 2007 where 76 women attended. I was astounded! It was an honor and pleasure to take part in witnessing the self-awareness and transformation of so many women. It was nothing short of impressive. Over the decade that Bounce was active, thousands of women’s lives were touched.

In 2002, Lynn and I cofounded Global-Help in response to the 9/11 crisis. Thanks to the support and encouragement from friends we have had 14 million downloads in over 190 countries in 35 languages for improving the lives of children. I was the relationship expert on the radio show “Chat with Women” until 2014. In 2015, I coauthored “SNAP Strategies for Couples: 40 fast fixes for everyday relationship pitfalls” (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1580055621/ref=cm_sw_su_dp) with Dr. Pepper Schwartz and am pleased to announce it is doing very well.

I am still very active in my own practice. I still see clients on a full time basis to consult on relationships and life strategies. I invite you to continue to follow me on Ask Dr. Lana (www.askdrlana.com) -- where I post every day, along with weekly comments by my consultants Dr. Noir and Diva -- here on Facebook (Lana Staheli), and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lana-staheli-52795811).

Thank you for being part of my journey and allowing me to be part of yours.

All the best,
Dr. Lana Staheli

A bit of news: due to some personal matters, Dr. Lana Staheli has asked to temporarily make this Bounce page and web-site inactive, which will happen soon. But no worries! It's not permanent and all of the content remains untouched and will most likely reappear. Thanks for all your support!
