My "Brownie bites" newsletter has nuggets of wisdom for mindset, food, and fitness. While I focus on women in midlife, my tips help anyone looking to feel and look their best, reduce stress, and thrive. In 2022 I underwent 2 surgeries for fibroids (after doctors told me nothing was wrong!), and fought to avoid a hysterectomy.
