Community is medicine. ♡

A dear person in my life is launching something I'm so proud to share - an Essential Tremor Support Group, open to all, starting Sunday, June 14th at 3:00 PM CST on Zoom.

Essential Tremor is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting an estimated 10 million people in the US - and it runs in my own family across multiple generations.

The isolation that often comes with it is real.

This group exists to change that. Connect. Share. Find strength together.

Their first guest speaker is Mark Honeyman of the documentary Still Honeyman - his story and his experience with DBS surgery are truly worth hearing.

Everyone is welcome. No diagnosis required.

Join in via Zoom. Comment or message me for the link.

Most of us never think about whether our home is actually set up to support us as we get older - until something happens that forces the conversation.

As an occupational therapy practitioner, I saw this all the time.

A fall. A hospital stay. A diagnosis. Suddenly, a family is scrambling to figure out: can Mom stay home safely? What needs to change?

I created this free quiz to help you get ahead of that conversation - whether it's for yourself, a parent, or someone you love. It takes just a few minutes and gives you a real starting point.

If anything comes up that you want to talk through, I'm always happy to chat.

Is Your Home Set Up for the Life You Want? Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Aging well isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about staying strong, mobile, and independent in a way that fits your life

When people hear “aging in place,” they often think caregiving.

That’s not what we do.

We help people stay independent before it gets to that point.

Think:
• safer home setup
• better strength + balance
• planning ahead instead of reacting

It’s proactive, not reactive.

And honestly… most people don’t even realize it’s an option.

Most people don’t think about how well their home actually supports them…until something isn’t working anymore.

There’s usually a better way to approach it than waiting for that moment.

Loved being part of the Chocolate Walk last night 🍫

Thanks to everyone who stopped in!

No, you do not need more motivation.

(Sharing what you DO need 👇)

Walking might be one of the most underrated things you can do for your health.

It supports:
• your joints
• your heart
• your metabolism
• your mood
• your energy

And it doesn’t require:
• a gym membership
• a perfect schedule
• or motivation to be high

Just consistency.

Even 10–20 minutes a day adds up more than people think.

Especially over time.

If you’re trying to feel better in your body without overcomplicating things…

Start here.

Do you prefer walking outside or on a treadmill?

MYTH BUSTING 🧠

You don’t need extreme diets or intense workouts to improve your health.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of women started believing that the only way to feel better in their bodies was through all-or-nothing approaches... Cutting out entire food groups, spending hours in the gym, or starting programs that are impossible to maintain long-term.

The truth is, most lasting health improvements come from simple things done consistently.

Things like:
• Strength training a few times a week
• Walking regularly
• Eating more protein and fiber
• Getting enough sleep
• Managing stress

It doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective.

In fact, the women who feel the best over time are usually the ones who build sustainable habits that fit into real life.

Health isn’t about punishment.

It’s about supporting your body so it can keep supporting you.

What’s one health myth you believed for years that turned out not to be true?
