7 year old perspective that had me in a puddle tonight after apologizing for not being the mom I want to be in the midst of overwhelm.

So perceptive and so wise.
Let it be a reminder to all of us just trying our bestđ¤

A 2025 survey found that nearly 40% of perimenopausal women received the wrong diagnosis. The most common one? Anxiety or depression.
65% said their concerns werenât fully addressed. 26% said their provider didnât take them seriously.
And for most, the next step was a prescription for an antidepressant medication.
These medications typically work by increasing available serotonin. But in perimenopause, the issue often isnât how your brain processes serotonin. Itâs that your body is producing less of it. Estrogen directly supports serotonin production. When estrogen starts to decline, serotonin output drops, and mood, sleep, focus, and emotional steadiness change with it.
An antidepressant can ease the symptoms. But it doesnât address why serotonin dropped in the first place.
A complete evaluation starts with looking at estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid, because when one drops, the others move with it. From there, a targeted plan addresses the hormonal root, not just the emotional symptoms.
If youâve been on an antidepressant and you still donât feel like it addressed everything, the missing piece may be hormonal.
If your mood changed and no oneâs checked your hormones, a full evaluation can reveal what a standard screening missed. Schedule your consult and letâs find out whatâs really behind the change.

Kekoka Yoga Retreat with the most incredible group of women.
Empowered women empower women, and this weekend is living proofâ¨
Grateful to have been able to share some of what I love in the womenâs health space in a small part of the weekend, to practice yoga for the first time since last yearâs retreat, another sunrise paddle, unhurried time with friends old and new, every breathtaking sky, and intentionally practicing what I preach.
Iâm keeping a list of friends to remind when registration opens because it sells out every year, and for good reason. Add yours below (or DM me), would love for you to join us!đ¤
Come along with me as I get my groove back in the art side of my lifeđ¤Š
Spa night courtesy of seven year old magic⨠She excitedly planned it all week longâpedicure, facial, Princess Diaries, comfy blankets, and candlesđ§ââď¸ Juries out on what she enjoyed the most, but sheâs got the wellness focus in life down already and I couldnât love it more.
It was also a great reminder that saying yes is easier than it feels in the busyness of days, costs pennies, and is just a blip of time that I know Iâll ache to come back to. Now somebody bottle this upđĽšđ¤
I â¨get⨠to do so many things in life. The perspective is important, but can be hard to cling to when youâre struggling through a day (or night). Here when youâre readyđ¤

Movement snacks throughout a day add up. More sustainable than finding time for hours in the gym or 10K steps a day, especially if youâre just starting out.
Start with walking after the easiest mealâfor your metabolic health and your mental health. Donât overcomplicate it, and donât lose sight of having fun in your pursuit of wellness.âď¸
Unapologetically carve time out of life for the good stuffâand weâre the luckiest to have a built in sitter for a blip in timeđ¤
Cue 3EB, Tyrone Wells, Kip Moore, Stephen Wilson Jr, Kip Moore, and Lisa Loeb if Iâm lucky đ
Whatâd I miss?
The dayâs been so good in this little bubble of mine that I thought it was a Wednesday𤊠donât think itâs a coincidence that it started off with weekly mass at schoolđ¤I love this multi-hyphenate life⨠and if youâre working on something under wraps, Iâm cheering you on from afar, this isnât for the faint of heartđ
Best I could muster was a âweâll seeâ đđ
In all seriousness, thereâs no way Iâm helping anyone the best way I can (patient or family) if Iâm not feeling good in a dayâŚso an overall (â¨notâ¨perfect) wellness focus is nonnegotiable in my days. Movement. Water. Real food. Connection. Boundaries. Sleep.
