Menopause often arrives without a roadmap. There is no universal handbook, no single specialist automatically assigned, and no clear timeline that explains what to expect.

Photo Credit: Instagram @toyoufromsteph Hello Reader! For the past two weeks I've been talking about winter's invitation to slow down and simple practices you can implement now to make it slow and sacred. This week I want to share a gentle reminder why these tiny rituals are so invaluable. The winter holiday season has a way of piling more than most of us can bear onto already packed to-do lists. In addition to our routine obligations—work, housecare, caregiving—it adds the responsibility of...

Hello Reader! I hope you caught my note last week about winter's invitation to slow down. This week, I want to share what's actually helping me settle into that slow-and-sacred December groove. Have I told you about my most recent obsession? Fountain pens. I know that may sound odd in a world where technology can fling our thoughts onto a screen in a matter of seconds. But that's exactly the point and the reason I'm loving my new hobby. The fountain pen makes me pause. It insists on breath,...

Hello Reader Welcome to December—the month that practically begs us to slow down, and yet many of us do the opposite: we speed up. We rush to hang decorations, buy gifts, and cram a year-long to-do list into thirty-one days. Even the sound of it is unreasonable, don’t you think? This year, I'm doing things differently and I'm inviting you to join me. Let’s practice a gentler cadence on purpose. Think of it as nervous-system stewardship: a simple posture, a calming breath pattern, and one...

Hello Reader Last Thursday I was talking with my dear friend Kelly about an adult arts program she’d just attended at a museum. The setup was delightfully simple: one extra-long table draped with an extra-long sheet of paper, and a line of participants taking turns with bold, quick-drying paints. The only rule? Pick up where the last person’s lines left off. Simple, right? As Kelly described it, I could feel the fun of it—the looseness, the color, the play. It took me straight back to...
