Here is my little August break recap!☀️

As many of you know, I always take off the month of August from work to relax, recharge, and refresh. This break allows me to spend more time with my family when their schedules are a bit calmer, do more fun activities that bring me a lot of joy (reading, writing, kayaking biking), and it helps me return as a better therapist come September.

Although this August I didn’t spend as much time lounging around as usual, it was filled with so many highlights & great memories.

👯‍♀️Quality time with my 2 adult daughters
🌊Time in Annapolis-my happy place!
🇵🇹Helping my daughter move to Portugal

Let me know in the comments what your August looked like!⬇️💛

📸Some photos from when I attended the FDA Expert Panel on Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Women last week.

The 12 member expert panel consisted of endocrinologists, ob/gyns, urologists, and surgeons, mostly presenting evidence to support the removal of black box warnings on hormone therapy treatment for menopausal women, with the ultimate goal of reducing barriers for women to receive this impactful treatment.

Let’s keep pushing for a greater understanding of & access to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Menopausal Women, and I encourage you leave any questions you may have about HRT in the comments below!

⏯️Here’s a like to view the recording of the expert panel: https://www.youtube.com/live/_2ZRlOivC5M?si=T1pnwR8KIOQP37_8

My weekend in Montréal!☀️⚽️❤️

This past weekend, I was able to visit a very special female athlete & social media helper, Julia Leas, up in Montréal!

It was so fun going out to dinner with Julia, watching her Montréal Roses soccer team play, and trying lots of different food throughout the city.

I highly recommend you visit Montréal, and check out and a game while you’re there!🇨🇦💙

Hello! I just got back from my 3rd Wild Writing retreat. This time it was at Stowel Lake Farm on Salt Spring Island just off of Vancouver.

This retreat center provided an amazing farm setting with vegetarian meals to enjoy 2 of my favorite activities - Wild Writing & yoga!✍🏻🌞🧘🏼

Attending retreats is an important part of my self care. It’s how I recharge my batteries so I can be a better therapist to my clients, a better wife to my husband & a better parent to my kids!💕

Let me know one act of self-care you’re doing this month!⬇️💙
