Beach day with my little family 🩷👙🏝️⛱️🌊☀️

My very first half marathon is officially in the books!

The boys were the cutest meeting me at the finish line with this adorable sign .dr.b helped them make!

Thank you for getting up early and running it with me - shoutout to Shannon for getting 2nd in her age group!

My goal when signing up was just to finish. Then it evolved to finish in less than 3 hours. With the help of I learned how to properly fuel so I would have the energy to keep going at a steady pace. It really helped and I finished with a quicker pace than any of my training runs. That may explain why everything hurts, but I will happily lounge around refueling, keeping my Theragun by my side!

Love my boys. I’d say our first day in Cabo was an overwhelming success. Plus, we saw a TON of whales 🐳

Two years ago .lee and I brought the dream of creating a clinic just for our LGBTQ+ patients a reality. The Rainbow Clinic was created 🏳️‍🌈

And today, almost 2 full years later, Gabe ran his last rainbow clinic as a member of the steering committee.

Gabe, thank you for your unyielding passion to create a safe place for sexual and gender minorities and letting me help you run it. You will be missed and I hope you come back to visit us frequently during your two remaining years .

Today is World Cancer Day, and it’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that this is my reality. Being diagnosed with cancer at 35 was something I never saw coming. I’ll never forget the moment I heard the words, “I’m so sorry, but you have cancer.” It was more than just devastating—it felt like my whole world collapsed in an instant. My heart pounded, my chest tightened, and fear took over in a way I’d never experienced before.

So many thoughts rushed through my mind. I thought about the future, the life I still wanted to live. As a mother, I couldn’t help but think about my children—about the moments I might miss, the milestones I may not be there for. The idea of someone else raising them, loving them in my absence, was heartbreaking. Then came the deeper fears—what would happen to me? Would I suffer? Is there really something beyond this life? The uncertainty was overwhelming.

But then, you fight—because there’s no other option. And in that fight, everything shifts. The little things that once seemed insignificant suddenly become the most precious. Every hug from my kids, every moment of sunlight, every “I love you” from the people I cherish carries so much more meaning. As painful and terrifying as this journey is, it has also given me a new perspective on life. It has shown me what truly matters, who truly cares, and what’s worth holding on to.

I wish every day that this wasn’t my story, but it is. My life will never be the same. Cancer doesn’t discriminate—it doesn’t care about your age, your health, your lifestyle, or your family history. It affects so many of us in some way, and the statistics are staggering—one in two people will face it in their lifetime. On this World Cancer Day, I stand with everyone who has been touched by this disease. We fight, we endure, and we hold on to hope.

Access to preventive reproductive care isn’t just important—it’s critical. For women, these check-ups are often the first line of defense against illnesses like breast and cervical cancer. Pap smears, mammograms, and OB-GYN visits aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities.

But here’s the hard truth: not everyone has the same access to this care. Geographic, financial, and systemic barriers make it difficult for many women to prioritize their health. That’s why we need to advocate—not just for ourselves, but for each other.

As a breast cancer survivor and NP, I’ve seen firsthand how early detection saves lives. Every woman deserves the chance to take care of herself without worrying if the care will be there when she needs it. Let’s start talking about this, louder and together.

Because no matter who you are or where you live, your health matters. Always. 💕

Reminder: If you don’t see a clear path, make it yourself.’ Life doesn’t hand you a roadmap—you have to create it. Whether it’s in motherhood, work, or personal growth, the way forward isn’t always obvious. But standing still isn’t an option. You make the way.

With a busy job and a calendar full of moving parts, life can feel like a whirlwind. But the one-on-one time spent with my boys reminds me to hit pause and just be present. With Ben, I love the little things—whether it’s grabbing a quick lunch together, surprising him as the mystery reader at school, or simply playing dinos with him at home. These simple moments mean everything, and they’re a reminder of what really matters.

Turks and Caicos didn’t disappoint—sun, sand, and just the reset I needed. Sometimes you’ve gotta step away to come back more grounded.

Finish this sentence:
'This year, I’m making more time for ______.'

Is it reading books that make you blush? (No judgment, same here.) Coffee with friends? Or maybe just five minutes of peace and quiet?

Drop your answer below—I’ll go first: ‘This year, I’m making more time for me.’ Let’s hear yours! 💕

My Garmin isn’t just a watch—it’s my accountability partner. It tracks the miles, the heartbeats, and the progress I push for every single day. Movement has been my lifeline, my therapy, and my way of proving to myself that I’m stronger than any excuse. Whether it’s a quick run, a challenging hike, or just hitting my step goal, this little device keeps me honest. Because being active isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up. Every. Single. Day.
