December 2025 Newsletter
Hi friends- I hope you're easing into this holiday season with warmth and moments of
calm. Before we dive into this month's important topic, I want to start with a quick
apology. November came and went without a newsletter from me - and while I try to stay
consistent, sometimes life pulls us in new directions.
In this case, it pulled me into something deeply meaningful ... I published my memoir, More
Than Lemons.
It is officially out in the world. It's a raw, honest story of my cancer journey, healing, and
the lessons that taught me to choose joy anyway. The final chapters reveal something I
never expected: my passion for women's health and hormone education - the very reason
this newsletter exists. If you feel drawn to read it, see QR below to purchase.
Now let's talk about something every woman needs to understand:
Hot Flashes Are More Than Just Annoying ....
Most of us were told hot flashes and night sweats are "just part of menopause," but
research shows they can also be early indicators of changes in vascular and metabolic
health .... aka our heart health.
Blood vessel stiffness
Changes in cholesterol
Rising blood pressure
Increased long-term heart disease risk
Hot flashes are your body's data, not an inconvenience. When estrogen shifts, your brain
and vascular system become more reactive - and those symptoms can be your first clue
that deeper support is needed.
Please check out the resource page below with more information, next steps if you are
experiencing hot flashes and a list of some resources for you to learn more for yourself.
Wishing you all a happy holiday season!
