You Can’t Go Back But You Can Go Home

“I can’t go back to yesterday

because I was a different person then.”

~~ Alice, Alice in Wonderland

Greetings to all my precious people!!

You’ve changed.

Maybe you don’t want to admit it. Maybe it’s uncomfortable. Maybe the people around you wish you’d go back to being who you were.

But you can’t.

Alice knew this. Once you fall down the rabbit hole, once you see what you’ve seen, once you wake up even a little—you can’t go back to yesterday.

You were a different person then.

 

What’s Actually Happening

Here’s what I’ve witnessed in 20 years of working with women’s bodies:

There’s a moment when women realize they can’t keep living the way they’ve been living.

Not because they’re failing. Not because something’s wrong with them.

Because they’ve outgrown the old container.

Like the Snake shedding skin. Like Alice growing too big for the room.

You’ve changed. And the old ways don’t fit anymore.

The old strategies:

  • Pushing through exhaustion
  • Ignoring your body’s signals
  • Performing who you think you should be
  • Fixing yourself to fit someone else’s expectations
  • Numbing the ache with busyness, food, screens, anything

They don’t work anymore.

Not because you’re broken. Because you’re WAKING UP.

We Are The Volcanoes

“We are volcanoes.

When we women offer our experience as our truth,

as human truth, all the maps change.

There are new mountains.”

~~ Ursula K. Le Guin

 

Greetings to all my precious people!!

 

We are volcanoes. What an amazing statement to proclaim!

Not flowers. Not gentle streams. Not soft background music while men do the important work.

Volcanoes.

Powerful. Disruptive. World-changing.

And for too long, we’ve been taught to keep the pressure down. To stay dormant. To never let the truth erupt.

But the Fire Horse year doesn’t allow dormancy.

It arrived on February 17th (six weeks ago), and if you’ve been feeling the intensity – the demand to be authentic, to speak truth, to stop performing – that’s Fire Horse energy.

And it’s calling the volcano in you to ERUPT.

When Your Next Meal is Part of the Treatment Plan

When Your Next Meal is Part of the Treatment Plan

For many chronic health issues, everyday exposures matter most. Food isn’t only fuel. It’s raw material, signaling molecules, and a daily set of “instructions” your body reads repeatedly.

The idea of food as medicine isn’t new. It shows up in traditional healing systems, in public health, and increasingly in modern clinical research. The most useful way to think about it today is practical and evidence-based:

  • Food can reduce risk (primary prevention).
  • Food can support treatment alongside medical care (adjunct therapy).
  • Food can change symptoms by affecting inflammation, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, the gut microbiome, and even brain signaling.

It won’t replace necessary medications or procedures. But in many cases, it can meaningfully shift the trajectory of health and sometimes quickly. continue reading »
