Have you been told you have dense breast tissue during a routine mammogram? Not sure what that means? Let’s break it down 👇

Dense breast tissue means there’s more glandular and fibrous tissue than fatty tissue in your breasts. It’s super common — especially in younger women or those who’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding — and it’s NOT a diagnosis or something you caused.

✨ Why it matters:
Dense tissue can make it harder for a mammogram to spot changes, because both dense tissue and potential abnormalities appear white on the image. It’s like trying to find a snowball in a snowstorm.

👉 That’s where ultrasound can help.
Breast ultrasound can provide a clearer look through dense tissue and may detect things a mammogram might miss. For many, a combination of mammogram + ultrasound offers more peace of mind and accuracy.

If you’ve been told you have dense breasts, it’s worth having a conversation with your provider about whether additional imaging is right for you.

I personally love the ease of booking a breast ultrasound with HerScan Breast Cancer Ultrasound Screening - you can book instantly, pay at the visit and get results emailed to you within a couple of weeks. It’s a BREEZE. I just booked mine for 12/1 and this will be my third year! Cancer runs RAMPID in my family so early detection is always at the forefront. Need a buddy to go with you? Need help booking! Message us and we’d love to help.

Knowledge is power. Advocacy is self-care. 🤍

Today I made time to slow down and reset ahead of this Thanksgiving break. Today I focused on choosing presence over pace.

A Thanksgiving party isn’t just about the food — it’s about pausing long enough to truly feel the gratitude.

To soak in the laughter, the little moments, the full plates, and even fuller hearts.

Grateful for connection, comfort, and the gentle reminder that the best things aren’t rushed.

Thankful for a slow morning of rest, reflection and celebration with my youngest guy- a great reminder of how much there is to be thankful for 🧡🦃

✨ Exciting News for Traveling Moms! ✨

We’re thrilled to share that the new Babes Act is on its way to the President’s desk! This legislation aims to enhance the safety and convenience for moms traveling with expressed breast milk through TSA.

No more hassle! This new regulation ensures that moms can travel with peace of mind, knowing their expressed milk is treated with the care it deserves.

We can’t wait to see this become a reality and make travel easier for all the amazing moms out there! 💕✈️

And a BIG BIG shout out to all the amazing advocates who have fought to establish this Act! We see you.

Periodic table check: Fe = iron.
So technically… shouldn’t it be Fe-male saving the world? 🦸‍♀️✨🧐

I mean, we come with built-in multitasking, emotional intelligence, and snacks too…. Seems obvious. 😏🔥

☕️ But, why tho. ☕️

10/29/2025

In the U.S., most new moms are seen just once after giving birth — usually around six weeks postpartum.

But research shows that the weeks after birth are some of the most vulnerable for a mother’s physical and emotional health.
Nearly 1 in 5 women experience postpartum depression, and the majority of maternal deaths happen after delivery.

Still, support during this time often looks like a quick checkup and a “you’re cleared.”

You deserve more than that.

Real rest. Real care. Real community.
Because postpartum is forever a part of motherhood — not a six-week phase. 🧡
