Menopause did a number on me. I have always thought of myself as driven AND calm, striking a balance between âdoingâ and truly enjoying and being present to my days. With estrogen dropping off the cliff, that has changed. I now experience so much more anxiety than I did and...
Who are your peeps?
Iâve been thinking a lot about the importance of community and connection recently. A couple of weeks ago I went to my friend Allison Gilbertâs talk about The Joy of Connections, a book she co-wrote with the amazing Dr. Ruth Westheimer. If youâre feeling a bit lonely or simply craving...
Embrace Your Inner Turtle
Ever feel like a turtle? All armored up and not venturing out of your comfort zone for fear of being vulnerable, unsuccessful, or not good enough in one way or another? Yep. Been there, done that. But, as Iâve learned, like the turtle you need to stick your neck out...
