I wear hearing aids because I have hearing loss. Hearing loss is a risk factor for dementia so if you think you are having trouble hearing -like when you go to a noisy restaurant- get your hearing checked.

Some of us hate exercise - but it’s vital for mental health and your bones!

Walking is the one exercise I actually like to do. Yeah,I do weights and other things because of osteoporosis. But walking is so good for helping the nervous system regulate. In fact, the rhythmic back and forth movement of the legs and feet is a natural way to experience bilateral stimulation like we use in EMDR therapy.

"Women come alive when they stop bypassing themselves"

Did you become invisible to yourself? So recently in a ketamine session with a client, she was talking about some regrets that she had during her long-term marriage. And one of those regrets was that she quit her job that she really loved and that gave her a lot of meaning when she had children, because there was some feeling like it was something she was supposed to do.

And she said something like, 'I feel like when I left my job, I became invisible to my husband.'

And I said, 'Do you think that when you quit your job and you stopped doing something that really filled you, that you became invisible to yourself?'

And that seemed to really resonate. And it just got me thinking and really wondering, you know, about women our age... you know, to really consider during all of this time of family where we are giving and giving to our children and our spouses—and you know, that's what women are conditioned to do. And of course, this is not about, you know, whether you should work or not work.

But should we really consider now: was there somewhere along the way where you became invisible to you?

Did I just wake up? Yes. 🥱
Am I being blinded by the sun? Also yes. (Ok, no)
Did I expect a rooster in the middle of LA? Definitely not.
​Taking a moment today to prioritize my own biological clock. It’s not always pretty (or quiet), but it’s worth it. Sleep issues for menopausal women is a “thing” and it’s real. Cheers to a restful Sunday!
