Starting a few years ago, I was given the opportunity to lead support groups for the Jewish Fertility Foundation’s new Denver chapter. It has been so incredible to be a part of these stories and lives.

And now seeing these beautiful babies- once just a dream- crawling and giggling together makes my heart burst. 💕

Always honored to be a part of this incredible non profit. JFF provides free mental health groups, financial support, & unique events like this one to families in Denver! (And across the US).

What an unforgettable night in Denver!
Our "Supporting Loved Ones on a Family Building Journey" panel brought together diverse, powerful voices who shared openly and authentically about their journeys. One especially moving moment came when a male attendee thanked our male veteran panelist for sharing his story from the male perspective. This panel was a reminder of how important it is to elevate every voice in the fertility journey.

We’re so grateful to our panelists, attendees, and everyone who made this meaningful conversation possible, including Onto Fertility, Dr. Liner, Traci Keen, and all the panelists. We can’t wait to host more events like this soon.

Have you found yourself in a "silent divorce"? We all assume that unhappy couples argue or show distain. But sometimes a quiet, disconnected relationship can lead to worse resentment & a more dire outcome.

Couples who no longer feel an emotional attachment but stay together for financial or other reasons may find themselves undergoing a “silent divorce.”

Parenting during a pandemic is a whole new level of exhaustion. It’s easy to assume that everyone is doing it more easily, gracefully, or enjoyably than you are. Take it from me- they aren’t. We’re all in this together. Let another mom know today that you’re thinking of her!

“Mommy Juice”. Alcohol is a part of every community event in our little square of Denver. Birthday parties, food trucks, even alleyway hangs. Is it innocent fun? Or is it hurting us and our relationships?

“There is a tidal wave building. It is way out in the ocean, but it is gaining strength and growing closer.”

I smoked ci******es for a good portion of the 1990s. I started smoking when I got to college and found that many of the new friends I was making fashionably

Being a mom, wife, daughter, friend... maybe a business owner or employee... taxi driver, appointment setter, grocery shopper, boo boo fixer, bedtime attendant... it can all be too much. Where are you, hidden under all of these roles and responsibilities? When is the last time you took care of her needs? When is the last time she felt free? It’s time to start making a place for you in this world. 🌎

I have been sitting here trying to find the words to pair with this image.... writing them out.... rewriting them. Deleting whole pages and starting over. All that remains is the lump in my throat.

This image was inspired by my life as a woman and a young single mother. I do not want to break down every detail for you. You can find the story, whatever it means to you.
