Many young women enter the “real world” expecting that life will go according to plan, particularly when it comes to their careers, finances and relationships. Unfortunately, the reality is that the unexpected often happens — a looming problem especially in today’s challenging economic environment. A new website, www.WhatWillYourPlanBe.com, now offers women much-needed guidance, resources, and tips to help successfully navigate the ups and downs of the post-college years.  Developed and sponsored by Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the makers of Plan B(R) (levonorgestrel tablets, 0.75 mg) emergency contraception, http://www.WhatWillYourPlanBe.com provides 20-somethings with a one-stop Internet resource offering expert advice to develop life “Plan B’s” so they’re prepared when their “Plan A’s” don’t go exactly as planned. This new website features answers to frequently asked questions, interactive quizzes, and worksheets that focus on job-, money- and sexual health-related issues. On the website, a team of dynamic young professional women provide expertise to empower this generation in critical life areas, such as:

  • Finance: Stacy Francis, CFP(R), CDFA(TM), president of Francis Financial, Inc. and founder of Savvy Ladies(TM) financial empowerment group;
  • Sexual health: Ashlesha Patel, MD, MPH, division director of Family Planning Services, John H. Stroger, Jr. Cook County Hospital;
  • Career management: Nicole Williams, founder of WORKS career management

“The post-college decade has always been a challenging time, but today’s young women face obstacles unlike any generation before them,” explains Andrea Porzio, group product manager of consumer marketing at Duramed. “When the unexpected happens — such as birth control failure or unprotected sex — Plan B(R) emergency contraception provides women with a back-up plan. This new website extends that support to other areas of a young woman’s life, providing a real ally that’s easily accessible anytime, anywhere when she needs it the most.”
