Your daughter’s period isn’t just a monthly event— Your daughter’s period isn’t just a monthly event—it’s a threshold. A sacred opportunity to help her feel safe, supported, and at home in her body. Often in ways we as women were never taught and wished we were! ⁠
 ⁠
Whether she’s 11 or 21, just starting or already cycling, these early experiences imprint deeply. They teach her how to relate to her body—and whether she can trust it.⁠
 ⁠
When you meet her with warmth, curiosity, and steadiness, you’re doing more than easing cramps or navigating moods. You’re giving her a language. A lineage. A knowing that she doesn’t have to go it alone.⁠
 ⁠
You’re telling her:⁠
 ⁠
“You’re not broken.”⁠
“This isn’t something to hide.”⁠
“You’re allowed to rest, feel, and listen to yourself.”⁠
 ⁠
 And that kind of knowing? It sticks.⁠
 
	Sometimes it looks like:⁠
 ⁠
	🫖 A warm mug of raspberry leaf tea⁠
	🛁 A quiet bath and a soft place to land⁠
	🥬 Iron-rich foods that nourish and replenish⁠
	🤍 A gentle “How’s your body feeling today?”⁠
 ⁠
These small moments become a foundation. One she’ll stand on for the rest of her life.⁠
 ⁠
Because our work isn’t just to manage symptoms—it’s to guide our daughters back to themselves. To their cycles. Their intuition. Their inner wisdom.⁠
 ⁠
And if you’re on this journey too—from your first period to perimenopause—Hormone Intelligence is a beautiful place to begin.⁠
 ⁠
It’s the book I wish every mama had in her hands. Tap the link in bio to learn more. And spread the word to start a revolution.

What to wear in your 40s, 50s, and beyond… Whatev What to wear in your 40s, 50s, and beyond…

Whatever. The. F***. You. Want. 

Because style doesn’t expire.
Because confidence doesn’t come with an age limit. It just grows with using it 
Because sexy isn’t a size or a number 
Because you’re the sh!t.

Because you’ve earned the right to take up space — in your clothes, your voice, your power.

Wear the short dress.
The bold lipstick.
The hot boots.
The thing that makes you feel alive in your skin.
You don’t need permission.
You are the permission.

So what are you gonna' break outta' your closet and wear today? What's that thing you want to do but you've been holding yourself back? Shout it out in the comments! I'm listening.

 Too often, women’s voices are dismissed in healthcare. Gaslighting happens when your questions or instincts are met with condescension instead of compassion.⁠

• Endometriosis⁠
• Hashimoto’s ⁠
• Perimenopause & Menopause⁠
• Poor sleep⁠
• Fibroids⁠
• Hormonal Migraines⁠
• Infertility⁠
• PMS or PMDD⁠
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ⁠
• Gestational Diabetes⁠
• Autoimmune Diseases ⁠

• Vaginal dryness or discomfort⁠
• Digestive issues ⁠
• Chronic pelvic pain ⁠
• Brain fog⁠
⁠
...I believe you. I’m here for you. And importantly, believe yourself. ⁠
⁠

I see it all the time—we’re so hard on ourselves. I see it all the time—we’re so hard on ourselves. Beating ourselves up for not feeling better. Loathing our bodies for not looking or functioning as we think they should. Restricting food, overexercising to exhaustion, overthinking every decision, symptom, meal.⁠
⁠
We’ve been taught to hustle for worth, control our way to health, and believe we must fix ourselves to feel okay.⁠
⁠
But here’s what I’ve learned in 40+ years as a midwife, MD, and on my healing path: Healing doesn’t come from shaming, blaming, or judging ourselves. It comes from kindness, curiosity, and compassion. It comes from treating our bodies like good friends—not enemies we’re trying to subdue!⁠
⁠
🌿 Our nervous systems need rest, not constant stress.⁠
🌿 Our guts need variety, not deprivation.⁠
🌿 Our hormones need nourishment, not control.⁠
🌿 Our metabolism needs support, not obsession.⁠
⁠
What if, instead of beating ourselves up, we asked our bodies what they need? What if we replaced control with care? Our bodies don’t need punishment—they need partnership.⁠
⁠
Healing isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about showing grace, choosing love over fear, and finding small ways to support our bodies daily with kindness.⁠
⁠
This is your permission slip to stop fighting yourself. Healing isn’t passive—it’s actively creating a sustainable path to lifelong health. Whether through food, herbs, movement, or stress management, every step matters. Your body is resilient, and healing is possible.⁠
⁠
Let’s step into each new day with self-respect and curious, gentle nourishment. Let’s redefine wellness—not as a sprint, but a restorative journey.⁠
