Day 16!!
Who Is Primary Care For? (Hint: It’s for YOU.)
Primary care isn’t just for when something is wrong.
It’s for before things go wrong.
A primary care provider is for: • The woman juggling hormones, work, family, and fatigue
• The man who “feels fine” but hasn’t had labs checked in years
• The person managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or stress
• The one who wants to be proactive, not reactive about their health
• The patient who wants to be seen, heard, and known
As a Nurse Practitioner and primary care provider, I don’t just treat symptoms.
I partner with my patients.
That partnership matters.
When you have a primary care provider: ✔ You have someone who knows your history not just your chart
✔ You have an advocate who helps you ask the right questions
✔ You become knowledgeable about your body and your health
✔ You’re supported in being proactive, not waiting until things escalate
✔ You’re held accountable with compassion, not judgment
Healthcare works best when it’s a relationship not a transaction.
My goal has always been to walk alongside my patients, helping them take ownership of their health, understand what’s happening in their bodies, and make informed decisions that support long-term wellness.
Primary care is where prevention lives.
It’s where trust is built.
It’s where your health story is honored.
If you don’t have a primary care provider or if you’ve never truly felt partnered in your care—this is your sign.
Let’s build your healthcare team intentionally.
Let’s create a legacy of good health together.

Hey Sis! Let me be real for a moment…
When the hot flashes started, I knew something felt off but my first thought wasn’t perimenopause.
I thought, “Is this long COVID? Am I dehydrated? Stressed? Tripping?” 😅
Honestly… I was confused.
And if I’m being completely transparentI might’ve been in a little denial.
I’m a Nurse Practitioner.
I educate patients every day.
And STILL… I didn’t immediately connect the dots.
Because no one tells you that perimenopause doesn’t always show up with a warning sign and a fan in your purse. Sometimes it creeps in quietly, disguised as heat waves, sleep disruption, anxiety, brain fog, and that feeling of “what is happening to my body?”
Once I paused, listened, and got curious instead of dismissive that’s when it clicked.
This wasn’t COVID.
This wasn’t “just stress.”
This was my hormones asking for attention.
Sis, if this sounds familiar, you’re not late, broken, or losing your mind.
You’re becoming more knowledgeable, more aware, and more in tune with your body.
My journey through perimenopause has taught me this:
👉 Our bodies speak.
👉 We have to stop brushing off the whispers before they start yelling.
👉 And advocating for ourselves is powerful at every age.
So if you’ve been questioning your symptoms or brushing them off consider this your permission slip to lean in, ask questions, and get support.
You’re not alone in this season.
And trust me… this chapter still holds so much vibrant life.
💛

🛑 Stop. Read This If Anxiety Has Been Creeping In.
Hey Sis…
If your heart races out of nowhere.
If your mind feels loud at night.
If anxiety shows up even when nothing is “wrong.”
You’re not broken.
You’re not weak.
And you’re definitely not losing your mind.
This is perimenopause and anxiety is one of its most overlooked symptoms.
Why Anxiety Increases During Perimenopause
During this season, your hormones don’t gently decline they fluctuate.
• Estrogen dips affect serotonin (your calm + mood hormone)
• Progesterone drops reduce your body’s natural calming effect
• Cortisol rises → your nervous system stays on high alert
• Sleep disruption makes anxiety louder
• Brain fog and physical changes trigger fear and uncertainty
Your body is adjusting.
Your nervous system is learning a new rhythm.
What Perimenopause Anxiety Can Feel Like
• Racing thoughts
• Tight chest or shortness of breath
• Sudden worry or panic
• Irritability or emotional overwhelm
• Nighttime anxiety
• “I don’t feel like myself” moments
This is not weakness. This is physiology.
How to Navigate Anxiety During Perimenopause
Start with compassion not control.
✨ Regulate before you reason
Deep breathing, grounding, slow walks, stretching
✨ Protect your sleep
Consistent bedtime, limit late caffeine, create a wind-down ritual
✨ Fuel your body
Protein, magnesiumrich foods, hydration, balanced meals
✨ Move gently but consistently
Walking, yoga, strength training = nervous system support
✨ Limit stimulation
Less scrolling, less news, more quiet moments
✨ Advocate for yourself
Ask about labs, hormone support, therapy, or integrative options
✨ Talk about it
Anxiety grows in silence healing happens in community
Sis, Hear Me Clearly
Your body is not betraying you.
It is communicating with you.
This season requires listening, support, and grace.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Hey Sis… this anxiety is not your identity.
It’s a signal. And there is help.
💚 Creating a legacy of good health together.

Day 15. The answer to this question of What do I do... is easy. As a Nurse Practitioner, my work extends far beyond diagnosing and prescribing.
I provide compassionate, patient-centered care with a clear mission: to help my patients, their families, and the communities I serve create a legacy of good health.
I believe healthcare is most effective when patients are advocating for themselves and are knowledgeable about their bodies, their conditions, and the choices available to them. My role is to educate, guide, and partner with patients using a whole-person approach that considers physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors.
I focus on helping patients become proactive rather than reactive—understanding their health early, addressing concerns before they escalate, and making informed decisions that support long-term wellness.
Equally important, I encourage patients to be accountable for their health—not through fear or blame, but through empowerment, trust, and shared responsibility.
When patients and providers work together as partners, we are both invested. That partnership is where meaningful change happens—and where lasting health is built.
This is the foundation of my practice.
Compassionate care. Shared commitment.
Creating a legacy of good health.

I didn’t recognize perimenopause… because I wasn’t having those symptoms.
No hot flashes.
No sudden weight gain.
No dramatic changes that screamed “hormones.”
Instead, I had: • Anxiety that felt unfamiliar
• Brain fog that made me question myself
• Sleep that suddenly felt elusive
• A quiet sense of “something is off, but I can’t name it”
And because it didn’t look like what we’re told perimenopause is supposed to look like…
I didn’t realize my body was already in it.
Here’s what so many women aren’t told: Perimenopause doesn’t come with a single script.
It whispers before it shouts.
It shows up differently in every woman.
Hormonal shifts can begin years before the last period affecting your brain, mood, sleep, confidence, and sense of self long before the “classic” symptoms appear.
And that’s why I’m sharing this openly, honestly, and in real time.
Because if you’ve ever thought: “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
“Am I just stressed?”
“Is this all in my head?”
Sis… it’s not.
In these videos, I’m sharing my personal journey the symptoms I experienced, the ones I missed, and what I wish every woman knew sooner.
Hey Sis… your body isn’t betraying you.
It’s evolving.
And you deserve answers, not confusion.
Watch. Listen. And know you’re not alone.

🔥 HOT FLASH… anyone? 🔥
Because no, Sis, you are not “overreacting,” and your body is not broken.
One minute you’re fine.
The next? Heat rushing up your chest… your face is on fire… sweat beads appear out of nowhere… and you’re wondering “What is happening to me?”
Here’s the truth and this is the part no one explains enough:
When a woman has a hot flash, it’s not just “feeling warm.”
It’s a hormonal communication shift happening deep inside your body.
🧠 What’s really happening:
As estrogen levels fluctuate (hello perimenopause & menopause), the part of your brain that controls temperature the hypothalamus — becomes extra sensitive. It misreads your normal body temperature as too hot.
🚨 So your brain hits the panic button:
• Blood vessels widen
• Heart rate increases
• Sweat glands activate
• Heat rushes upward
• Then… the chills after
all in seconds.
Sis, this is your body trying to protect you, not betray you.
💛 And here’s what I want do:
Take a deep breath
Know that it will only last a few seconds
Know that you are not alone.
Your body is evolving and it deserves care, understanding, and support, not dismissal.
Hey Sis… your body is speaking. Let’s learn how to listen together.

This is Day 13 of my 31 day challenge and it went a little like this!!

As a nurse practitioner, I teach my patients something that feels almost rebellious:
Slow down. Rest. Stop pushing.
We live in a world that praises exhaustion and calls it discipline.
But your nervous system doesn’t heal in survival mode.
This morning, healing looks like a slow Saturday.
No alarms.
No rushing.
Just me, my doggy, and letting my body fully exhale.
Rest isn’t laziness.
It’s regulation.
It’s hormone support.
It’s nervous system care.
It’s preventive medicine.
If your body has been whispering for you to slow down…
listen before it has to scream.
Let this be your permission slip to rest, even if it’s just for a moment.

Save this as your reminder.
Follow for gentle, real conversations about rest, hormones, and creating a legacy of good health.
