When I was pregnant with my first child, I expected morning sickness, weird cravings, and mood swings. What I didn’t see coming? Migraines. Not the typical headache kind either—these were full-on, vision-blurring, lie-in-the-dark migraines. Especially during the first trimester, they seemed to have a schedule of their own. Turns out, I wasn’t alone. Migraines in…
I’ll be honest—when I first started dealing with nagging back pain that wouldn’t let me sleep, I chalked it up to stress and long work hours.

Last year, after a car accident left me with lingering back pain and tension that wouldn’t let go, I stumbled into something I hadn’t considered before—somatic therapy.

But no amount of ergonomic chairs or heating pads seemed to help. It wasn’t until I discovered mind-body healing techniques that things actually started to shift — not just physically, but…
When I first started experiencing migraines in my twenties, I never thought my jaw had anything to do with it. But after years of trying everything from medication to meditation, a dentist was the one who finally cracked the case. Turns out, the alignment of your teeth and jaw isn’t just about a pretty smile—it…

Even if you’ve prepped, ironed your outfit, and memorized your answers inside out, that spike of anxiety before walking into the room (or joining the Zoom) can hit you like a truck.

Let’s be real—dealing with BV odor is the worst. I still remember standing in line at the pharmacy one evening, wondering if the woman behind me could smell what I was desperately trying to cover up with scented wipes.
