New month. Same you. And honestly?
That’s the whole point.

You don’t need a reset. You don’t need to do more or be more. You just need to show up and you’re already doing that.

If this landed for you, send it to someone who needs to hear it today. 🤍💜💛♥️💚🧡

As a pediatrician and a mom, I know how hard it can be to tell the difference. Here’s what I always tell my patients’ parents:
Watch out for:
✅ Pain that’s getting worse, not better
✅ Fever alongside the stomach pain
✅ Pain that wakes them up from sleep
✅ Vomiting that won’t stop
✅ Pain in the lower right side of the belly
✅ Blood in their stool
A regular tummy ache usually comes and goes, doesn’t interrupt sleep, and improves with rest or a trip to the bathroom. 💛

When in doubt? Call your pediatrician. That’s what we’re here for.

💾 Save this for the next time your little one says their tummy hurts.

We spend so much time chasing wellness in a bottle but some of the most powerful medicine is already built into your daily life. 🧬

As a pediatrician and a mom, I prescribe this for the whole family:

✨ Laugh together — it literally lowers stress hormones
😢 Let yourself cry — it resets your nervous system
🤗 Hug longer — it shifts you out of fight-or-flight
🎵 Sing in the car — it tones your vagus nerve
💃🏾 Dance in the kitchen — it grows new brain connections

Joy isn’t a reward for when everything is done. It’s the thing that keeps you going.

Share this with a parent who needs the reminder. 🔁

A mom brought her toddler in for a fever that had been going on for 5 days.😳

His eyes were red. His lips were cracked and bright red. His hands were swollen. He had a rash across his body.
It was Kawasaki disease and we caught it just in time.💪🏾

Here’s what every parent needs to know ⬇️
🔴 Fever lasting MORE than 5 days — this is the #1 sign
🔴 Red, bloodshot eyes (without discharge)
🔴 Cracked, red lips or a “strawberry tongue”
🔴 Swollen hands and feet
🔴 Rash on the body
🔴 Swollen lymph node on one side of the neck

Kawasaki disease is rare, but it can cause serious heart complications if it’s not caught early. If your child has a fever for 5+ days PLEASE see your pediatrician. Don’t wait it out.

💾 Save this so you never forget the signs.

It’s giving… self love. 🪞✨

Friday reminder that the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life.❤️

I used to pour into everyone else first, my patients, my kids, my family and leave myself with whatever was left over. But I had to learn that I can’t pour from an empty cup.

When I love myself well, I show up better. As a doctor. As a mom. As a woman.

So this weekend? Do something for YOU. Rest without guilt. Move your body. Say something kind to yourself in the mirror and actually mean it. 💛

You deserve the same energy you give everyone else.
Happy Friday, loves. 🫶🏾

It’s Monday. You’ve already sung the clean up song 4 times. Nobody moved. 😤

As a pediatrician AND a mom, let me tell you something: resistance to transitions is 100% developmentally normal before age 5.

What helps more than singing louder:

👉🏽 A visual timer they can SEE
👉🏽 Two choices (“Do you want to clean up toys or books first?”)
👉🏽 Consistent follow-through every single time

This week, try one. Just one. You’ve got this. 💪🏽

We are not ok! As a country and a society. 💔🥺

The loss of life, especially when it involves children causes us all to grieve. I pray for the parents and families involved. May this sweet angel sleep in blissful peace.. 🕊️

I hope we are able to look into our communities and pray and work through this TOGETHER ❤️
