💔 Sleep Divorce?!? Or could I learn a thing or two from the Danes?
Is this the end of happiness as I know it? Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Finland — the Nordic countries consistently rank as some of the happiest places on earth. Top 4 in the World Happiness Report. Year after year. Which begs the question: what do these people know that we don’t? Is it the social safety […]

A New Kind of Feminine Power Some of our kaki-kai. National Menopause Show 2026. Snow is falling outside as I write to you by the fire in my cozy chalet. As I sip my morning coffee and watch the sun rise, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and possibility for what’s to […]
MHT black box warning removed. What does this actually mean?
In November 2025, the FDA removed the black box warnings from Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) labels. We know that there is a lot of info about MHT on our socials. There’s also a lot of misinformation, conflicting information, ongoing confusion, and even fear and stigma around MHT. And so this black box warning decision has […]
All I Want for Christmas is… a nap, a night off from cooking, and maybe a quick bath. A girl can dream, right?
It’s that time of year again – the season of jingling bells, decking halls, and trying not to lose our minds amidst the festive chaos. And while the holidays can bring plenty of joy and magic, they can also be a wildly stressful time. Between the pressure to create perfect memories, the financial strain of […]
The Big O! Wait. Where’d You Go?
As promised, we’re back talking about sex this week. Because, sex is natural, sex is fun…or at least it used to be. And it can be again. Last week Michelle fessed up about slut-shaming herself out of a libido. And this week we’re talking about the mind-blowing, toe-curling, sheet-gripping climax we all want – ORGASMS! […]
Could I have slut-shamed myself right out of my own libido?
I was watching sexpert Emily Nagoski on YouTube last night about how our brain is our largest sex organ and it hit me. I used to have this deliciously wild, confident sexual energy. Let’s call her my inner slut, because honestly, she was fabulous. She knew what she wanted, took what she needed, and apologized […]
“Ugh! I haven’t peed all day and I look six months pregnant.”
Our friend texted our group chat, along with a photo of her swollen belly. She wasn’t pregnant; she’s 51. And this wasn’t a food baby either. For weeks, she’d been having trouble emptying her bladder completely, but like most of us, she kept pushing through. It wasn’t until she realized it had been almost 18 […]
Empty Nest & I’m a Hot Mess
It’s official. I’m an empty nester! On August 30th, my son Fynn moved into residence at Wilfrid Laurier University, just down the road from us here in Waterloo. I thought the proximity would soften the blow of him leaving home. I was wrong. On move-in day, I walked from my husband’s work to Fynn’s residence […]

When Your Period Becomes a Flood.
How much period blood do you lose each month? I know it feels like we’re hemorrhaging every month, the reality is that for most, a typical period involves just 30-40 ml of actual blood loss over the entire cycle. That’s about 2-3 tablespoons. When bleeding exceeds 80 ml per cycle, doctors classify it as heavy […]
