So important to remember that a cancer diagnosis doesn’t only impact physical health — the emotional weight can touch every part of a person’s life. 💗

Grateful to have compassionate clinicians in our community, like Nicole Dunbar Brush Counseling, who understand the unique emotional needs of individuals and families navigating cancer, treatment, survivorship, caregiving, and loss.

Sharing this during Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a reminder that support matters, and no one should have to navigate the emotional side of cancer alone. 🎀

October has a way of making everything feel like it should shift.

New routines. New expectations. New energy. A fresh start.

But you do not have to become a completely new version of yourself every time the season changes.

Sometimes growth looks less like reinvention and more like noticing what you actually have capacity for right now.

What worked for you in one season may not work in another.

Your needs can change.
Your pace can change.
Your priorities can change.

And adjusting to that is not falling behind.

Sometimes, it’s the healthiest thing you can do.

While there are many things I love about my career, one of my favorites is the opportunity to connect and network with other professionals—and sometimes challenge myself to do the uncomfortable or unfamiliar things that my imposter syndrome tries to convince me I can’t do.

This morning, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to a Psychopathology class at King’s College. And while I absolutely hate public speaking, I quickly realized that once I stopped worrying about “presenting” and just took an authentic, human approach with the class, it became a breeze.

And after reflecting on it, that was kind of the whole point of the little presentation I created anyway: behind every diagnosis, theory, and textbook definition is a person. And as clinicians, we’re people too.

Do the uncomfortable things. You might be surprised by how ready to take on the world you feel afterward. 🤍

I’m not quite ready to jump into being a professor full-time…but hey, today made me contemplate it, even if it was short-lived. 😂

Thank you, Dr. Buckwash, for the opportunity—and for pushing me a little outside of my comfort zone!

Last year, I had the honor of being a speaker at the inaugural NEPA Breastfeeding Symposium, sharing space with local professionals committed to supporting mothers and families throughout the perinatal journey.

This year feels especially meaningful in a different way. I’m incredibly grateful to be able to support the 2026 Symposium through the private practice I’ve had the privilege of building over the past year and one that reflects so much of what I care about professionally.

Maternal mental health, postpartum support, and creating stronger systems of care for women and families remain deeply important parts of the work I do. It’s special to come back to this event a year later, now able to contribute through Metanoia and support these conversations from a different seat at the table.

Grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting this work in our community. 🤍

It’s felt like a long time coming, but I’m SO excited to finally get these goodies to our three amazing mamas from the Metanoia Back to School, Back to YOU Mommy Giveaway! 💛✨

This giveaway had such an amazing turnout—not only from all the mamas who took the time to enter and share a little about themselves, but also from the incredible women-owned businesses right here in our community who helped make it so special. I loved getting to showcase, connect, and network with so many amazing women along the way. 🫶🏼

From one mama to another, I hope this back-to-school transition has been good to you, and that somewhere in the midst of taking care of everyone else, you find a little time to reset, recharge, and pour back into YOU. ❤️

Congratulations to our three mamas! I hope you enjoy every little goodie—you deserve it! 💐✨

THIS. 🤍

Women deserve support through every season…and that support has to include both the body and the mind.

Pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, hormonal changes and all of the transitions in between can impact so much more than we often talk about. I love seeing local businesses creating spaces for women to feel supported, educated and connected to resources right here in our community.

So excited to see what The Salt Barre is building with this. And as a therapist specializing in perinatal and maternal mental health, this one is especially close to my heart. 🤍

REGISTRATION IS OFFICIALLY OPEN 🤍

We’ve been working on something new at The Salt Barre for women, and we finally get to share it.

Pregnancy. Postpartum. Motherhood. Hormonal changes. Perimenopause. Menopause.

Our bodies change through all of it. And yet women are so often left wondering what they need, who to ask, where to go, or even what support exists.

We don’t think you should have to figure it all out alone.

Beginning this October, we’re bringing a new women’s wellness initiative to TSB, combining movement, education, expert voices and real local resources for the different seasons of a woman’s life.

We’re starting with three areas:

🤍PREGNANCY + PREPARING FOR MOTHERHOOD
Prenatal movement, breathwork and education from a local OB-GYN to support the changing pregnant body and prepare for what comes next.

🤍POSTPARTUM + RETURNING TO MOVEMENT
Approachable postpartum movement, including babywearing Pilates. Bring your baby and wear them, OR come learn what movement can look like during this season, plus education from a Nurse Practitioner from LMG Wellness. LMG Wellness

🤍HORMONES + MIDLIFE WELLNESS
Movement, education and honest conversations around perimenopause, menopause and the changes that come with this season.

But this is about more than classes.

We want to help women find the people who can support them outside our walls, too.

We’ll be bringing trusted professionals into the conversation, including an OB-GYN expert, pelvic floor therapists and other women’s health professionals, while connecting you with incredible resources already available right here in our community: women’s health acupuncture, prenatal/postpartum and pediatric chiropractic care, lactation support, pelvic floor therapy and more.

Attendees will receive a collection of local resources to take home, plus a goodie bag from TSB and some of the professionals and businesses helping us bring this together. 🤍

Our first workshop is OCTOBER 4 and registration is OPEN NOW.

And October 4 is just the beginning.

For every season. For the body you’re in now.

There’s something really special about local women-owned businesses coming together to support local moms. 🤍

When I started putting together Back to School, Back to You, I hoped a few local businesses might want to be part of it.

Instead, these women showed up in such a big way.

Fifteen local women-owned businesses have generously contributed products, services, gift cards, experiences, and more—all to help us create something special for moms during the back-to-school season.

Today’s post is simply about celebrating them:

The women behind the businesses.
The businesses behind the giveaway.
And the community that makes something like this possible.

Take a look through and meet the incredible women helping bring Back to School, Back to You to life. 🤍

Prize details and how to enter are coming tomorrow! The giveaway will run from tomorrow through Monday, and winners will be selected next week.

A huge thank-you to:
