I Love seeing these ancient fertility and big lady goddesses!

The discovery of “fertility goddess” figurines at the site of Çatalhöyük has long tantalized scholars. Could the settlement, inhabited more than 9,000 years ago, have been a matriarchal society? Researchers got their answer this year after analyzing DNA from 131 people buried there. That’s why it’s one of our Top 10 Discoveries of 2025.

I think this could actually be swapped simply for “the American healthcare system”

Because I’m going to dump a pumpkin spice latte on the next person without a child who says they are looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend 🎃
And to be even more Frank, if politicians actually cared about humanity, they would stop sitting on the sunshine act and get it through without attaching it to other bills so that we could abolish the biannual and pointless twice annual torture routine of changing our clocks arbitrarily.

Can we please normalize spending money on birth?? it baffles me to see a woman spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a nursery, and tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding (even $80 on yoga pants…), but not want to spend a dime to improve her Birth experience which will literally impact her for the rest of her life, physically, mentally, emotionally, as well as her child

Love this

In Vietnam, this image of a grandmother breastfeeding her grandchild is more than extraordinary, it’s part of a long history of shared nourishment.

Across cultures and centuries, communities have practiced cross-nursing and wet-nursing:
✨ In times when a mother was ill, passed away, or simply needed support, another woman, sometimes even a grandmother, stepped in to feed the baby.
✨ In Vietnam and other parts of Asia, women have been known to relactate, meaning they can restart or continue milk production, even later in life, when there is a baby in need.
✨ In Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Indigenous communities worldwide, shared nursing was seen as a form of survival, kinship, and solidarity.

Breastfeeding has never been just one mother and one child.

It has often been a communal act of love, protection, and survival.

This photo reminds us that human milk is not only food, it’s medicine, comfort, and a living connection that binds families and generations together.

Hi 🙋‍♀️ I’m Rachel Olsson, CNM, APRN – your Integrative Gynecologist. I provide holistic gynecology and full-spectrum women’s health care for women of all ages: from teens through menopause and beyond.

My goal is to make healthcare compassionate, informed, and enjoyable. I specialize in functional medicine and going many layers deeper into your health than traditional (insurance based) practitioners have the time, the willingness, and the training to go.
My favorite clients are those who are already super dialed in and health conscious and who just are Not getting what they feel they deserve from the healthcare system.

I commonly work with women struggling with:
- Fertility
- PCOS
- Perimenopause and Postmenopause
- And those simply wanting Way Better GYN care for their ongoing health journey

Come check me out beautiful where you can have a superfood latte and get a massage or acupuncture or take a yoga class or sit in the sauna or salt cave (etc,etc!) before/after your visit. (As opposed to sitting in a gross fluorescently-lit waiting room and kind of hating your life for a couple hours while you check off an annual box 😜)
