    • The other day I was working at my desk and I could barely keep my eyes open and focus. I had a head cold that wasn’t getting better. 

Do I did what we are supposed to do - I RESTED. I climbed under the covers and slept for 2.5 hours. 

But it took me years to get here. Hustle & grind culture was hardwired in my brain. Feeling sick? Just work from home and push through. I remember in 2021 having COVID and doing this. And I wonder why it took longer to recover. Because I didn’t slow down. 

Our body is like a fuel gauge. And when your tank hits E your body will start to stall. Don’t let it get to that point. Pull over for gas before you run out. 

Rest isn’t for the weak. It’s not being lazy. It’s necessary for us to be our best. Rest is for the STRONG!

    • You can’t pour from an empty cup. But I also don’t want to fill my cup and give that out. 

I changed my mindset to go from FILLING my cup to making sure it’s OVERFLOWING. So then I can give my overflow and not be depleted. 

How are you filling your cup this week??

    • I used to speak in boardrooms, presenting complex financials to our C-suite every week. I loved making complicated data simple and turning it into strategy.

But after six years of not feeling like myself, I realized I was in perimenopause—and no one had prepared me for it.

So I made a career change and became a perimenopause health coach, turning my passion for simplifying the complex into a new mission: helping women understand their bodies and take back their power. 🦸 

This is why I want to speak at #EmpoweredMomsLive - to empower moms to:

✅ Talk about their bodies without shame
✅ Recognize the signs of perimenopause (even years after giving birth)
✅ Advocate for their health in a system that often overlooks them
✅ Let go of outdated, fear-based narratives around hormones
✅ Know that this transition isn’t something to suffer through—
but something we can actually thrive in

Because perimenopause is inevitable - suffering is not!
    • I have been trying to slow down lately and not rush through everything. Which is hard for a former corporate ladder climber who fully embraced hustle and grind and wore busy-ness like a badge of honor. 

Not anymore. I am embracing being in the moment. That means literally stopping to smell the flowers while I walk. Opting to go headphone free so I can listen to the sounds of the birds (and the lawnmowers!) and be more present in nature. 

I have been putting my phone away more after work to be fully present with my family. Because I see my daughter growing up right before my eyes and I want to create as many memories as I can. 

I am trying to spend more time in the kitchen again and enjoying the art of creating versus rushing to get dinner on the plate. 

But by bit I am shedding the layers of skin of corporate culture and learning to be ok not rushing from one thing to the next.

    • Prior to leaving corporate the only time I really spent on myself was my 30 minute workout.  These workouts were out of necessity - to somewhat save my mental health - they weren’t something I was truly present in.  I was running from that to my next Teams call (that Teams ding still gives me PTSD!)
Once I left my job I started making ME a priority again - several times a day.  I extended my movement sessions - and sometimes did TWO a day when I would walk and lift weights.  I started journaling and doing breathing exercises again.  I put myself first SEVERAL times a day now.

You may be thinking “that’s easy - you don’t have a 9-5 job so you have more time” and while that may be true - if you think YOU don’t have time I am going to challenge you.  Making time for yourself and your well being doesn’t mean hours on end.  Here are habits you can start adding into your day that slowly start to stack up. 

🖊️ Gratitude journal upon waking up or going to bed - 5 minutes 
📒 Daily planner (writing is scientifically better for you!) to set your priority lists and ensure a successful day - 5 minutes
🧘🏻‍♀️ Breathing exercises or meditation upon waking or going to bed - 5 minutes
🚶‍♀️ Walking around your block 3 times a day (morning, lunch, early evening) - 10 minutes
 📚 Read 10 pages of a book (personal development encouraged!) - 10 minutes

And if you STILL think you don’t have time - check that social media timer on your phone.  Guaranteed if you are seeing this post you have spent 5-10 minutes on here when you could be doing something instead for you! 

Share below your favorite ways to put yourself at the top of your to-do list!!

    • While I use good skin care (thank you @herbalfacefood) I think it’s 10% of why my skin looks healthy. 

The other 90% I attribute to:

🍓🥬🥦My eating habits - 30+ different plants a week. Nutrients and antioxidants are crucial for skin
💦 Hydration - reduces dryness, helps maintain elasticity
😴 sleep - helps cellular repair
🏋🏻‍♀️Exercise - improves circulation
🧘🏻‍♀️Stress management - reduces inflammation
👎🏼🥂🍷Alcohol accelerates aging of skin, dehydrates you, and can trigger skin inflammation

Bottom line - you can buy all the best skin care products you want but if your lifestyle doesn’t support healthy habits your skin care isn’t going to save your skin!

What’s your favorite tip for healthy skin?? Share with me below!
