This ❤️👇
I am here to tell you the pivotal moments in our lives often do not come with any sort of fanfare. Rarely are there snapping flags or warning trumpets or foghorns informing us of impending changes. They usually come, to quote a wiser source, like thieves in the night - a postcard from the lab: please contact your physician- an intersection at the wrong moment, an egg colliding with a s***m in a miniature cosmic explosion, a quarter in a slot machine, the turn of a steering wheel, a trigger pulled, a lover saying no, a child walking away, a voice over the phone - I regret to inform you. . . In an instant, your life is forever altered and you think the rest of your days will become an agonizing before-and-after until you realize from the measured, thoughtful perch of old age that life is simply a series of before and afters, a long line of them, and each one can either harden your heart to sunbaked leather or turn it pliable and welcoming, into an organ of infinite capacities, a dwelling place for compassion, a vehicle for grace... I now know that human hearts don't break, they either stretch or turn to stone. I've learned it is not the afters themselves but how we handle them that shapes us, that decides our happiness. I discovered that we all hold the key to joy in our own free will. My journey to that discovery wasn't easy, but every heart-rendering step was worth the pain.

🌸 Happy International Women's Day! 🌸

Today, I'm reflecting on the journey that led me here—a journey shaped by resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to empowerment.

Today, we honor the triumphs, not dwelling on past hardships, but to celebrate the strength and resilience that all women possess, all across the 🌎.

Every woman is inherently worthy and capable of achieving greatness.

—because YOU ARE ENOUGH.

Today I am thankful for all the trailblazers who have come before me, forging this path. I would have ever imagined 30 years ago that I’d be a doctorally-prepared certified nurse midwife & women’s health nurse practitioner, a Menopause Society certified practitioner, an Integrative medicine fellow, and a small business owner, WHAT!?

And, the only way it happened was thanks to amazing mentors like Carrie Klima and Sabina Dambrauskas and their exceptional guidance. Barbara Camune who gave me a women’s health book to read over the weekend assuring me I’d know if becoming a CNM was for me by Sunday night 😘. Incredible labor & delivery nurses like Jackie Spratt and Clare Cooke who showed strength and resilience on the daily! Leaders like Michelle Shine Dignan and Kathi Cavanaugh representing strength and kindness, always.
And my closest mentors and friends Mara K. Arakelian, Jessica Lyn, and Melinda Weiss who taught me we can do great things and still have fun! And sadly some of that fun might end, but the memories will last a lifetime. 💕

As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's honor the strength and resilience of women everywhere. 🌸🌺🌸🌺

Together, let's continue to break barriers, uplift one another, and build a world where every woman's voice is heard and valued.

And a special thanks and shout out to the menopause experts out there who are changing the lives of midlife women in such incredible ways! Education, Evidence, and Research! Thank you Monica Christmas, Laura Valle, and Ann Konkoly (for a whole myriad of great things!) for being trailblazers of today! 👊🏻💕

Thank you for being part of this journey. Happy International Women's Day! 💖
