Hustle hangover: Why Millennial women need more rest.
Why are we so resistant to rest? Perhaps it's because we’re also a generation conditioned to compete. Look around at any brunch table of Millennial women, and you’ll find an unspoken contest: Who has the busiest schedule? Who’s balancing work, workouts, and a social life with seemingly effortless ease? But here’s a little secret I learned: There is no prize for burning out.
Embrace Your Naked Truth: Why You Should Look at Yourself in the Buff
First, let's tackle the elephant in the room (or maybe just the fabulous curves). Society has this bizarre way of making us feel uncomfortable in our own skin. Yet, learning to appreciate the skin we're in—every stretch mark, every curve, every dimple—can be incredibly empowering. Looking at ourselves naked isn’t just about vanity; it's about connection and gratitude.
Why the doubt? Skepticism surrounds healthy decision-making.
…But what if, instead of fixating on the perfect morning routine or the organic fruit, we simply celebrate the small victories.

Like the always changing weather, I figured I would find my groove again. When I didn’t, I knew it was time to investigate what might be going on at a deeper level.
Embracing Change: How Mindfulness Supports Women in Perimenopause
As the eldest of three sisters growing up in the 80s and 90s, discussions surrounding women's health and female sexuality were far from common. Yet, if there's a single lesson I've gleaned over the past couple of decades, it's that women's health and sexuality encompass a breadth far beyond these three anticipated milestones. To all the wonderful women between 35 and 55, this blog is dedicated to you. Allow me to introduce my newfound fascination: perimenopause. An experience I'm personally undergoing, though a concept that eluded me until recently.
Move your body! 5 ways to increase movement in your day.
A sedentary lifestyle, combined with a poor diet, is a silent killer. And while we like to congratulate ourselves for exercising 30 – 60 minutes each day, that’s not really enough to undue the other 22+ hours we spend sleeping or sitting.
