From the ovaries, outward, all about female-focused health and medicine.

Notes from the Mind Palace.
There’s a strange transformation that happens when your kids become adults. You think you’re finally done with the chaos — the sticky hands, the mystery stains, the “is it POOP or chocolate?” or "why is this wet" moments. You think adulthood means peace, quiet, stability.

Notes from the Mind Palace.
I am a hopeless romantic. Not the soft,pink and glittery, “I love long walks on the beach” kind. I’m the kind who believes in soul-recognition — in that moment when you lock eyes with someone and something ancient inside you whispers, Oh. Him. I’m the kind who dreams of a man with steady hands and a voice that feels like home. The kind who wants to be carried, protected, adored, treated like a queen even though I’m built like a demon who learned to survive by clawing her way out of every hell pit alone.

Notes from the Mind Palace.
There’s a special kind of stupid that happens when your brain decides someone is the sun. Not because they are the sun, but because your neurons have staged a coup and declared, “This person? Yeah, we’re gonna obsess over them like a skunk who found an un‑locked trash can.”

Notes from the Mind Palace.
There’s a point where you stop pretending that certain people are good for your nervous system. You stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. You stop waiting for them to show up differently. You stop handing out access like it costs you nothing. Today was that point.

There’s Jake — the one person who’s been in my orbit long enough to understand the way my brain actually works. Not the surface version. Not the polite version. Not the “mom” version or the “partner” version. Just… me.

And then there’s Justin — the quiet, absurd, infuriating, hilarious, unexpectedly reliable force in my life. He laughs at the most ridiculous things. He can piss me off in five seconds flat and have me laughing ten seconds later. He’s wonderful with our daughter, and he’s good with the boys too — even taking one of them overnight sometimes on his last night with Cyndle before he brings her home.

Excavating Myself: A Field Guide to Rediscovering the Woman I Lost Somewhere Between Betrayal and Blanket Forts I want to find myself again, but I’m pretty sure she’s hiding under a blanket fort with snacks and what my kids lovingly call my “pillow knife.” I’m not that dramatic — but dramatic enough to sleep armed like a raccoon guarding a treasure hoard. I have other things, they just don’t fit under my pillows.

Your Vibration Did Not Rape You
Abraham Hicks was one of the first spiritual teachers I learned from, and I respect the work. The movie The Secret and her subsequent teachings opened a lot of doors in my perception at the time.

DON’T BE MAD
“Don’t be mad.” It is one of the first spells cast upon little girls. Don’t be loud. Don’t make a scene. Don’t be difficult.

The Beginner Guide to Healthy Eating
When it comes to healthy cooking and eating, people already know a lot of things. It is more about reminding people what is healthy and what isn't, rather than teaching them entirely from scratch. Ever since we were kids, our parents would tell us to eat our veggies because they are healthy, or to eat fewer sweets because they are unhealthy.

From Level One to Level Up
For years now, many people have told me that I should write down some of my recipes, start a YouTube channel, and launch other social media accounts just to post my recipes, tips, and tricks.
