Hello Heart’s Post

Next month in The Body Wise Woman Community we're talking about a super important piece of the health puzzle for women. How you schedule your time. This is a theme with every single woman I work with. Spaciousness is one of the MOST vital parts of being well for women. ✅️For women recovering from chronic health issues not wanting to overdo it, but also ready to build more capacity and add more living to their lives. ✅️For women who feel crushed by the weight of work and life and can't seem to find any breathing room outside of sitting in the car for 30 minutes before you go in the house. ✅️For women who are building and scaling businesses/careers and feel they're teetering on the edge of burnout and don't want to lose momentum. ✅️For women tired of the grind in the same old way and want to feel lighter and less bogged down. ✅️For women in Perimenopause knowing they need to do things different and figuring out their new starting point. October is for you! We'll talk about how your body is experiencing this ie symptoms you may be experiencing and how to best support your body while making changes. The live talk and roundtable is 11am cst Oct 1 and the Live q&a is 11am cst Oct 15. Replays available and you'll be able to submit questions even of you can't join the calls. You can join for my bday special through Sept 30 for $47/mo or $500/year. No minimum commitment required. $97/mo and $970/year starting Oct 1. I'll also be starting my 6 week Partnering with Perimenopause Series Oct 10th and you'll have access to that in the group. Lots of great stuff brewing 5 women already in!

A Call to Action: The need to transform Women's Health Life presents us with moments that stir our hearts and minds—moments when we fall in love with a problem, feeling both passion and responsibility to drive change. For me, that moment came with women's health. The realities are eye-opening: - Women experience 25% lower quality of life compared to men - Heart disease: #1 killer of women in US, yet only 33% of clinical trial participants are female - Even though 100% of women living into late life experience menopause, it is woefully under-researched and poorly understood;  - 1 in 5 women consider leaving their careers during menopause due to lack of support and care And the list continues… As a health leader, a woman, and a mother of three girls, I'm amazed by how much remains unknown and unaddressed. The gaps in women's healthcare aren't just statistics—they represent untapped potential that could be immeasurably improved. I've fallen in love with this problem, and I'm committed to be part of the solution. I’m on a mission to stregnthen women's healthcare. To unlock the potential of every woman, at every stage of life. To create a world where women thrive in their lives. This is a human issue. Healthier women mean stronger families, more vibrant communities, and a brighter future for all. I would welcome hearing your perspective or your involvement on this topic on what are the biggest gaps that remain unsolved.

A study published in Women's Health reported that despite two-thirds of perimenopausal women experiencing symptoms of brain fog, mood swings and fatigue, more than 60 percent reported they did not feel informed about menopause at all. Many workplaces have LITTLE or NO support for women through this phase. Let's change the trend!!!! The year's not over yet... end it off by empowering the women in your workforce. Enrol your female force between 35 and 60 in this powerful and informative workshop. Get them equipped. Move the needle, be part of the change.

Every industry has its own jargon, but when brands assume everyone understands it, they risk leaving consumers behind. In healthcare, this can have serious consequences. Take "perimenopause”. For many women, the word is a mystery. What does "peri" even mean? It’s supposed to describe the transition before #menopause, but the term itself isn't clear. In our research at Hummingbird Insights, one of the most striking revelations is just how many women don’t recognise, understand, or identify with this word at all. The impact? Missed opportunities. If women don’t understand the term, they’re less likely to relate to the very campaigns that are aimed at them. Or may struggle to communicate effectively with healthcare providers. Brands need to bridge the gap between industry speak and everyday language. Perimenopause is here to stay, but the way we communicate about it needs to change. If we can raise awareness and simplify the language, we can help women feel more in control of their health - and make sure they get the support they need, when they need it. At Hummingbird Insights , we help brands understand these mismatches. We dig deep into the real-world experiences of consumers, uncovering where the disconnects are and how to fix them. Brands need to be clear, accessible, and relatable, especially when it comes to health. Challenge Assumptions.

May 12–18 is National #WomensHealthWeek! Every year, the Office on Women's Health (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)) dedicates a week to recognizing the importance of women's health and encouraging women to prioritize their physical, mental and emotional well-being. This year, the theme for Women's Health Week is "Empowering Women, Cultivating Health: Celebrating Voices, Wellness, and Resilience." Certain health-related issues disproportionately affect women. We understand that visiting health care providers can sometimes be daunting. It’s not uncommon for women to feel like their symptoms or concerns aren't taken seriously, leading to undiagnosed conditions and a lack of appropriate care. At Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, we know that prevention and early detection are key, especially when it comes to cancer. We encourage all women to take charge of their health by scheduling routine screenings — including a mammogram and Pap test (when appropriate) and annual wellness exam, discussing any changes in or concerns a medical provider and not hesitating to ask questions. Wellness matters. Our message to all women: Be an advocate for your health, and let's work together to ensure you're heard and cared for 💪 Tag a friend who might need this reminder! #NWHW #WomensHealth #Wellness #CancerPrevention #HealthIsWealth

This used to be off-limits! (Now, we’re rewriting the script.) For generations, women were handed silent battles: Menopause. Period pain. The maze of hormones. Pushed into the shadows, brushed aside, left out of conversations. But things are changing. Today, women’s health isn’t hidden. It’s openly discussed, celebrated—and challenged. No more settling for band-aids. At Hello Again Products, we imagine a world where women’s health is treated with care, effective solutions are easy to find, and where we all get comfortable saying vagina. This is not just a product—we’re creating a movement for women to be seen, heard, and understood. Because wellness isn’t about patching things up. It’s about living authentically! We’re done waiting to be part of the conversation. We’re making our own.

As October begins, it brings an important focus on women's health through Breast Cancer Awareness Month and World Menopause Day later this month.  October serves as a reminder of the various health challenges women experience and the importance of promoting a supportive culture within organizations.  As a Holistic Nurse Coach, I have witnessed how creating a culture of listening and understanding can transform an organization. October serves as a reminder of the various health challenges women experience and the importance of promoting a supportive culture within organizations.  Providing a safe space for open dialogue empowers employees to share their experiences and concerns. This engagement leads to innovative solutions, enhanced morale, and a healthier workplace culture. Prioritizing women’s health creates an environment where employees can thrive both personally and professionally. When women flourish, the entire organization benefits. #BreastCancerAwareness #MenopauseAwareness #WomensHealth #EmployeeWellbeing #HolisticNursing #WorkplaceWellness #Leadership #SupportiveWorkplace #DiversityAndInclusion #Empowerment

For women physicians, December can feel like a never-ending to-do list. Between patient care, family, and holiday obligations, it’s easy to forget about your own needs. But what if you chose you this season? Instead of attending every holiday party, imagine: 🛁 A luxurious bath 📚 Reading a book in cozy pajamas ✨ Saying no to others so you can say yes to yourself Setting boundaries isn’t easy. We worry about disappointing others or not meeting their expectations. But as physicians and leaders, we must lead by example—prioritizing our well-being is essential for sustaining our energy and joy. This holiday season, I challenge you to ask: ✨ What do I truly need? ✨ How can I courageously set boundaries to honor that? Let’s support each other in making space for ourselves this December. #WomenInMedicine #Boundaries #SelfCare #PhysicianLeadership
