A growing number of late-night cafes across Japan are opening their doors to mothers struggling with babies who will not stop crying, offering a rare refuge during the most isolating hours of parenting. The idea of a "nighttime crying cafe," which appeared in an online comic nearly a decad...

The wellness algorithm has been making me dizzy.

Three days back on Instagram and I'm flooded — tests, fix-all remedies, what's poisoning me, what's saving me, when the world is ending. Knowledge without accessibility isn't power. It's noise.

So I want to fill a different kind of space. Two things have stayed true for me as a clinician:
One — you can only help the community if your own cup is full.

Two — the way you fill the cup is medical sovereignty. Functioning independent of the medical system. Knowing your own body well enough that "normal" labs don't override what you already know.

I work upstream-Nervous system first, while gathering right labs and more info. Most of what gets missed gets missed because no one is leading with nervous system dysregulation.

next steps if any of this lands:
☝️Comment LABS — I'll send you the upstream workup I run before any hormone protocol.
✌️Follow for more on hormones, plants, and how to stop chasing your symptoms.
— Not medical advice. Clinical framework only.

"You are awakening to the
same country you fell asleep to.
The very same country.
Pull yourself together.
And,
when you see me,
do not ask me
"What do we do now?
How do we get through the next four years?"
Some of my Ancestors dealt with
at least 400 years of this
under worse conditions.
Continue to do the good work.
Continue to build bridges not walls.
Continue to lead with compassion.
Continue the demanding work
of liberation for all.
Continue to dismantle broken systems,
large and small.
Continue to set the best example
for the children.
Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.
Continue right where you are.
Right where you live into your days.
Do so in the name of
The Creator who expects
nothing less from each of us.
And if you are not "continuing"
ALL of the above,
in community, partnership, collaboration?
What is it you have been doing?
What is it you are waiting for?"
-- Venice Williams

The Ancestors' resilience, courage, persistence, determination, and prayers run through our veins and deep in our DNA. May peace and justice prevail.
