This episode is a special one. In honor of Menopause Awareness Month, I wanted to take a pause and share the story that started it all — my journey to becoming the doctor my mother needed.

From watching my mom struggle to get answers about her heart to facing my own midlife health changes, this is the story that shaped everything — my career, my purpose, and how I show up for women in their 40s and beyond.

It’s a story about how we listen.
How we heal.
And how midlife can be a beginning — not an ending.

✨ Because when we understand what our bodies are trying to tell us, we take our power back.
