Reading Time: 3 minutes Lately I’ve been revisiting the idea of Living Ageless. I was first introduced to this by one of my favorite teachers and writers, Dr. Christiane Northrup in her book Goddesses Never Age, which I’m currently rereading. I highly recommend it if you haven’t already checked it out. Awesome book!
Northrup’s premise is basically that chronological age doesn’t matter nearly as much as we think it does. What makes us feel ‘old’ is our thoughts and the choices we make on a daily or even to moment-to-moment basis. Her book is basically a deep dive into the wise saying, “You’re only as old as you feel.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes Just when you were getting the hang of having a baby at home, it’s time to go back to work. Beyond the expected changes such as picking work tasks back up and catching up on things you’ve missed, your priorities have most likely shifted now that you’re a parent.
It’s normal for parents to feel anxious about transitioning back to work after having a baby, but they don’t have to do it alone.

Reading Time: 2 minutes BREAKUPS ALMOST ALWAYS TURN OUT TO BE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED.
The reality of it is, almost everyone one of us will go through a breakup, probably many of them. Very few of us spend our lives with our first love. It’s an inevitable part of life.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Bring it on, ladies! I’d love to see a female President. Just not Hillary Clinton. Or Elizabeth Warren. I am totally open to all other women leaders, but I have to admit that Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar are beginning to make me angry and I’m not sure why yet, but I know the reason will become clear soon, and I’m also wondering what they might look like if someone photoshopped their heads onto the bodies of prisoners and put them behind bars.

Reading Time: 5 minutes I still walk, like most women, with my keys in my hands and fear dark alleyways, and this sadly wasn’t the last time my sexuality would be violated by straying hands, forced kisses, catcalls, harassment.
But it was the point when I faced a choice – whether to let this violent attack define me or whether I was going to define myself.
I could stay in ankle-green school skirts or their adult equivalent and believe that women incite attacks and take the blame the police had tried to hand to me.
Or I could hand it back.
So I did.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Sleep is the time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. When you’re exhausted, you sleep. When you get sick, you sleep it off. When you’re stressed, you sleep so you can wake up to a fresh day. When you’re in pain, you sleep through it. We use sleep as a way to alleviate many ailments, so it’s no surprise that improper sleep can make things worse. A good night’s rest lies within your mattress.
