You probably know me as a journalist, an author, or your big sister on social media. But, at my core, I’m a storyteller, sharing true tales of hope and resiliency. Here’s mine.
Women everywhere are taught that their stock goes down as their age goes up. But life’s not over at 50.
I partner with powerful and honest women so that we can shift our collective perspective on midlife. You can set audacious goals at 50 and beyond. Change your career. Unlock your bold. Discover something beautiful that’s been hidden within you for decades.
Now’s our time to thrive.
Is it hot in here, or have I been scrolling on TikTok for a little too long? There’s a movement happening on TikTok: women in menopause are sharing their experiences more openly than ever before and creating conversation with real impact.
Clearly, we wanted to talk about it. I’m no doctor or menopause expert, but I am a journalist. So I brought together the top voices in the TikTok menopause movement for #MenopauseTok: a week-long virtual gathering of education and inspiration for women tackling this universal experience. My first documentary, The M Factor, Shredding The Silence on Menopause premieres October 18, 2024 on World Menopause Day on PBS.
After losing my mother in 1990 and my stepmother in 2022 to breast cancer, I joined forces with leading organizations to save lives by building awareness around this disease. I work with Let’s Talk Menopause and Breast Cancer Research Foundation and I’m a National Board Member of Best Buddies International.
That evening in the newsroom began without a hitch. That is, until I looked at the teleprompter and found myself stumbling through the words. I felt a flood of anxiety rush over me, broke into a sweat, and couldn’t sit up straight. Half-jokingly, I said, “If I fall over, somebody catch me.” One of my colleagues had the foresight to walk me to the bathroom, where I collapsed. I laid there with my cheek against the cold tile floor. For the first time in 25 years, I didn’t finish the newscast, thanks to what I eventually learned was a hot flash. This vulnerable moment was the catalyst for one of my life’s greatest endeavors.
