The millennial marketing vs. Gen Z social team trend… but make it concierge endocrinology 😅🩺⭐️

Credit to my almost 14 year old daughter for helping her Xennial mom with this post! 🤣💛

Amazing night at the Breakthrough T1D gala 💙

So much hope, advocacy, innovation, and support all in one room. From honoring Orlando Brown Jr. for his advocacy efforts to hearing the powerful story shared by the Linn family, it was a reminder of both how challenging type 1 diabetes can be and how much progress is being made.

Grateful to be part of a community so passionate about improving the future of T1D care and research 🩵

Motherhood looks different for everyone. 💖

For some, it’s raising children.
For some, it’s loving stepchildren, nieces, nephews, pets, students, friends, or the people who simply become family along the way. 🫶🏾

Lately, I’ve found myself emotional watching my daughter prepare to start high school and navigate her early teenage years. There is something so complicated, bittersweet, and beautiful about the mother daughter relationship during this stage of life. Watching her become more independent while still needing me in different ways has made me reflect so much on my relationship with my own mom. ✨

And honestly… it has made me appreciate my mom even more than I already do. Because now I see the worry, the patience, the balancing act of giving your daughter independence while still wanting to protect her, and all the things she quietly (and not so quietly 😉) put up with from me during those years.

At the same time, motherhood for me has also meant becoming a fierce advocate for my son, loving him exactly as he is, and helping the world see all that he brings to it in his own special way. ♾️

Today is for all the women who nurture, support, protect, encourage, and love others in ways both big and small. 🌸

Happy Mother’s Day. 💐

Technology and innovation… in art and in endocrinology 🤖

Such a cool reminder at the AACE Annual Meeting of how fast things are evolving. From robot drawn portraits to real time diabetes insights, the future is already here. ✨️

This moment at TSA security tonight literally brought me to tears. 🥹

A special needs gentleman in a wheelchair was trying to get through the TSA PreCheck line. He had a speech impediment and was alone and a little confused about the process. Instead of rushing him or getting frustrated, one agent paused her line and went over to help him.

Despite his speech impediment, she listened, she understood him, she answered his questions, and she guided him through everything with so much patience and respect. 🤍

It was a simple small act of kindness, but it meant everything. ✨

I wish I could have gone back to tell her that I see her kindness and to thank her, but I was already through security. So this is for the TSA agent at Harry Reid Airport at the D and E gates checkpoint, with brunette pigtail buns. Know that your kindness was seen and appreciated. 🙏🏾

As a physician and a mom to a child with special needs, moments like this stay with me. They shape how safe and supported someone feels when the world is not always easy to navigate. ♾️

I hope that if my son ever needs help like that when we are not there, someone shows up for him with the same compassion she showed tonight.

This is the kind of humanity we should all bring into everyday moments. 🤍

Day 1 at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Annual Meeting and already so much to take in.

I’m especially excited to be here with my CMOC colleague Stacey Ratliff, PA who has really taken an interest in building her knowledge in endocrine and diabetes technology. That kind of curiosity and commitment to growth makes such a difference for our patients and for our team

It’s always energizing to step away from clinic and be immersed in learning, especially when it directly translates into better, more thoughtful care.

More to come from the next few days. 📚✨

Sometimes things just don’t go as planned…
I’m headed to the AACE conference today and missed the check in cutoff for my flight by the skin of my teeth. Marked as a no show. No other flights on that airline today, and no refund.

Completely my fault.

It would be easy to spiral in a moment like this. Frustration, stress, anger, irritation.

I shed a couple of angry tears 😢, said a few quick “4 letter words 🤬" (sorry Mom 🙈), took a deep breath, booked a ticket on another airline ✈️, and moved on.

Being hard on ourselves in moments like this does not fix anything and only adds stress. And stress has real physiologic consequences.
Elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, increased inflammation… all the things we are trying to avoid. 🧠⚖️

One mistake does not define the day.
Or the trip. Or anything, really.

Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is pause, let it go, pivot, and keep moving.

✳️ Shared with permission ✳️

This past weekend, I was invited to a patient’s 85th birthday party because she wanted to celebrate with “all her favorite people.” 🤍
And somehow, I made that list.

My husband and I were truly honored to be there, and it was so special to meet her family and friends, her children, grandchildren, and the people who know and love her best. ✨

Caring for her over the past 10 years has been a privilege. Moments like this are exactly why I do what I do, and why I chose to practice endocrinology in a concierge/direct care model. It allows for relationships that grow over time. The kind built on trust, connection, and truly knowing the person beyond their diagnosis. The kind that make space for being present not just in visits, but in the moments that matter most.

This is what medicine looks like to me. Relationships, trust, and connection that go far beyond the exam room. 🤍

A little longer than my usual posts, but I wanted to share a clip from yesterday’s interview with for families who may have missed the radio show 🎙️ It gives a glimpse into what Behavioral Intervention and Consulting offers and the impact they have had on our family 💙

Our journey has not been just one thing. It has included speech therapy, occupational therapy, ABA therapy with BI&C, and IEP support within our school district ♾️ There is no one single solution, but having the right team makes all the difference.

And our journey is still ongoing. We are all constantly learning and growing 🌱

BI&C has been an incredibly important part of that team, and I wanted to share more about what they do 💙
