As this year comes to a close, I’m holding so much gratitude...for family, health, and the community that shows up in big and small ways.

Many of you followed my mother’s journey, and I’m happy to share that she has fully recovered. Look at that smile! 🙂

From my family to yours, wishing you peace, joy, and gentle moments this holiday season.

Happy Holidays ✨

We loved talking about the rise of the “We Do Not Care” club...because honestly? It makes so much sense in perimenopause.

In this clip, Dr. Wiyatta Fahnbulleh and I reflect on how perimenopause can strip away perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pressure to hold it all together… and replace it with clarity, boundaries, and a lot less tolerance for nonsense.

And as this year comes to a close, it feels especially fitting.
Perimenopause, and the end of a year, both invite us to ask: What am I done carrying into the next chapter?

This phase isn’t about losing yourself.
It’s about finally giving yourself permission to leave behind what no longer fits and care more deeply about what does.

In this week’s episode, Barbie Chapman and I dive deep into the lived reality of “weathering,” the way chronic stress and systemic inequities leave lasting marks on the body, especially for Black women.

We talk about what it means to carry stress that isn’t just personal, but generational… and how healing isn’t only about what *we* do, but also about who stands with us.

Barbie shares her powerful journey of stepping away from corporate life to reclaim her health, offering an honest look at vulnerability, boundaries, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.

✨ This conversation is part education, part testimony, and fully an invitation:

To slow down.

To listen to your body.

To understand the systems around us.

And to remember that community care matters just as much as self-care.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of “pushing through,” I hope this episode gives you language, validation, and a little more room to breathe. 💙

Tune in and let me know what resonates with you.

Fear is part of being human.

But so is resilience.

So is choosing the next right step, even when you’re uncertain.

So is holding onto hope in your own way.

If you’re moving through something hard right now, I’m holding space for the courage it takes just to keep going.

One breath, one moment, one small step at a time. 💙

Save this for when you need a little reminder.

Grateful for my husband, my partner in love, in life, and apparently… in scavenger hunts. 💙

We recently attended a couples retreat in New Orleans that gave us everything we didn’t know we needed:

✨ incredible food

✨ exploring corners of the city I thought I knew (because I used to live there)

✨ a wild city-wide scavenger hunt

✨ Turkish lamp-making (yes, we made art!)

✨ space to reconnect, laugh, and just be together

It’s a gift to do life with someone who is your biggest fan and your favorite travel buddy. Here’s a peek at our weekend adventure.

Parenting is lonely sometimes…

Especially when your path to parenthood included the quiet, complicated layers of infertility or loss. It can feel disorienting to move through spaces that don’t always recognize or understand what you’ve carried to get here.

If you’re reading this, I want to honor your story. Your journey matters. Your feelings deserve room. And it’s okay if parts of this season still feel tender, confusing, or unexpectedly heavy, even in the midst of love and joy.

There’s space for you here. 💙

If you’ve ever felt unseen or out of place in your parenting experience, you’re welcome to drop a 💙 or share whatever feels right.

Let’s gently hold space for each other’s truths.

11/27/2025

Grief can feel like an endless storm, heavy, confusing, and all-consuming.

And when you’re in the middle of it, even breathing can feel like work.

If you’re struggling to find your footing, please remember that healing isn’t about rushing or “getting over” the pain. It’s about learning to move gently alongside what hurts.

Here are a few ways to begin softening that weight today:

✨ Acknowledge what’s here.

Your feelings are real and deserve space, the sadness, the anger, confusion, the numbness…all of it is fair game.

✨ Take it one moment at a time.** Focus on what you can control right now. Even small steps forward count.

✨ Reach out when you can. You don’t have to hold all of this by yourself. Connecting with someone who listens without rushing or fixing can bring a bit of steadiness back into your day.

✨ Create small rituals of care. Moving slower and with more intention can help you find ways to honor your love and your loss.

✨ Be kind to yourself. Rest when you need to. You are deserving of compassion.

Healing is about learning to carry your love and memories with you as you move forward.

💬 If you’re navigating grief right now, share one small step you’re taking today. Let’s hold space for each other.

11/26/2025

This week I’m holding gratitude, grief, and truth, all at the same time.

Thanksgiving can be complicated for so many reasons.

For those navigating infertility, loss, pregnancy after loss, donor conception, or family-building through nontraditional paths… this time of year can bring up a lot.

And it’s also a complicated day when we acknowledge the real history of this land and our country and the ongoing impact colonization has had on Native and Indigenous communities, including on reproductive autonomy, maternal health, and generational trauma.

So if today feels heavy, layered, or bittersweet, that’s okay.

There’s no script for days that hold so much history and emotion.

This year, I’m choosing to:

✨ Hold space for the families we have

✨ Honor the families we dream of

✨ Acknowledge the children we carry in our hearts

✨ Give thanks in a way that doesn’t ignore complexity

✨ Recognize that for many Indigenous communities, Thanksgiving is a time for mourning not celebration.

Our stories… our reproductive stories, like history, are never simple.

They carry grief, longing, hope, resilience, and truth.

However you spend this holiday, I hope you find room to honor your whole story.

And I hope you give yourself permission to feel whatever comes up for you, gently, honestly, and with compassion. 🤍

11/25/2025

Some days ask more of us than we expect. And in the rush to keep going, it’s easy to forget to check in with the one person who needs your care the most…you.

This is your reminder to pause for a moment.

Breathe.

Notice how you’re feeling.

Offer yourself the same tenderness you give to everyone else.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You don’t have to be perfect.

You just have to be present with yourself.

- If today feels heavy, slow down.
- If today feels full, savor it.
- If today feels messy, let it be human.

Your presence, not your perfection, is what carries you forward.

If you needed this reminder, you’re not alone. Tell me below:

What helps you reconnect with yourself when life gets overwhelming?

Talking to our children about their conception story can feel tender, vulnerable, and even a little intimidating, especially when the journey to grow our families wasn’t straightforward.

But here’s what I want you to know:

✨ You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment.

✨ You don’t need the perfect words.

✨ You just need openness, love, and the willingness to begin.

Children make sense of their story over time. When we start early, keep it simple, and tell the truth with warmth, we give them a gift, a sense of belonging, connection, and trust.

Whether your path included IVF, donor conception, surrogacy, loss, or years of waiting… your child’s story is rooted in hope, courage, and deep intentionality.

And telling that story isn’t about perfection.

It’s about connection.

It’s about giving your child language for something that’s already part of who they are.

If this is a conversation you’ve been thinking about, or even worrying about, I hope this carousel gives you a starting place you can feel grounded in.

If you’d like more support, resources, or examples of age-appropriate scripts, feel free to schedule a consult. I’m happy to help you find language that feels true to you and your family.

11/23/2025

Parenting isn’t a clean slate when your path to get here was filled with waiting rooms, losses, medical bills, unanswered questions, or a body you had to negotiate with every step of the way.

When you’ve walked through infertility, loss, reproductive trauma, or years of “maybe someday,” parenthood carries layers that most people around you will never see.

The tenderness.

The vigilance.

The gratitude and the exhaustion.

The fear of losing what you fought so hard to hold.

The moments of joy that feel almost sacred because of what came before them.

If parenting feels different for you, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because your journey reshaped you.

Give yourself the grace your story deserves.

You are allowed to feel all of it… the beauty, the grief, the relief, the overwhelm, without comparing your experience to anyone else’s.

Your path was never supposed to look like theirs.

Save this for a day when you need a softer reminder. And share it with someone who parents with layers, too. 💜

11/22/2025

Honor your timeline, not others…

Fertility journeys don’t move in straight lines.

Some people conceive without trying.

Some spend years searching for answers.

Some navigate loss after loss.

Some need treatment, donor support, or a completely different path to parenthood.

And one of the hardest parts?

The world keeps going….and you feel like you’re struggling to keep up with expectations and societal milestones…

when to start trying, when to stop,

when you should be pregnant,

when you should be “over it,”

when you should be ready to try again.

But your journey has its own rhythm.

Its own grief.
Its own courage.
Its own timing.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for where you are in the process.

You deserve to be met with compassion, not comparison.

💜 Honor your pace. Your timing. Your story.

Save this for the days you feel like you’re “behind.” You’re not.
