Today, the FDA officially removed the black box warning from estrogen therapy — a long-overdue correction to years of misinformation. This decision restores confidence in hormone therapy as a safe, evidence-based treatment for menopausal and perimenopausal women when prescribed appropriately.
At WCWCW, we’ve seen firsthand how fear-based messaging has kept women from relief. Science — and women — deserve better.

Time with our children is precious — but raising them isn’t always easy.
The way we act, respond, and love shapes the way our children will act, respond, and love throughout their own lives. We’re here to guide you through parenthood — to help you find patience, learn new ways to respond more effectively, and truly enjoy this time with them while it lasts.
