I didn’t set out to find Hello Again—Hello Again found me.
What I was looking for were answers.

Menopause hit, and like so many women, I found myself searching for holistic alternatives that actually worked. What I found instead was confusion, stigma, and a healthcare system that wasn't built for us. I've spent years navigating my own women's wellness journey, from debilitating period pain to the rollercoaster of menopause, and I knew one thing: women deserve better options. 

That's why I bought Hello Again, because relief shouldn't be a mystery, an afterthought, or a struggle. 

No haze. No hormones. No hassle. Just real relief when and where you need it most—delivered through the power of vaginal suppositories.  

At the intersection of FemHealth, Cannabis, and Menopause, Hello Again is reimagining women's wellness with plant-powered solutions for menopause, sleep, and period relief. Women need real solutions they can trust, and we're here to provide them, without the guesswork or stigma. 

Hello Again isn't just another wellness brand—it's a movement redefining how women take control of their health. For too long, women's wellness has been overlooked, forcing us to manage symptoms with outdated solutions or simply “push through” the discomfort. That ends now. We're creating innovative, effective, and hormone-free products that work with the body, not against it. 

Hello Again is more than a product—it's a commitment to wellness on our terms, providing the knowledge and support to make informed choices about our health because we should never have to settle for suffering in silence.  

Because every great product needs a great marketing strategy, I bring the same passion for innovation and problem-solving to cannabis marketing through The TOKE Agency. The best brands don’t just sell—they connect. And that starts with a strategy designed for long-term growth, real customer engagement, and building a brand that resonates through authentic storytelling.

If you're ready to change the game in women's wellness, my inbox is open.

I gave up alcohol six years ago. 

It was a conscious choice.

Not because I hit rock bottom or had a dramatic story to tell. 

I was tired of missing my morning workouts, feeling groggy all day, and pretending alcohol wasn’t affecting me.

I was married to an alcoholic for 20 years. I lived inside the damage it can do to health, relationships, finances, and safety. That experience shaped my perspective. But it didn’t stop me from social drinking. I had to make that choice for myself.

What I didn’t expect was how easy it felt once I cut it out completely.

Here’s what I understand now that I didn’t then.

Alcohol messes with your stress hormones. It disrupts how your body processes estrogen. And when you’re already in midlife, navigating shifting hormones, adding alcohol into the mix is like trying to steady a boat while someone keeps rocking it from the other side.

The data is also clearer now. Even one drink a day increases breast cancer risk. 

That’s not me being alarmist. That’s research.

We don’t need fear or cheerleading. We need truth and transparency so we can make our own informed decisions.

Going alcohol-free has been one of the most important choices I’ve made for my health. Not because I had to. 

Because I could.

If you’re doing Dry January, try tracking sleep quality, morning clarity, and 3 AM wakeups. 

Let your body tell you what it already knows.

What shifted for you when you changed your relationship with alcohol?

What if the most radical thing you could do this January is nothing at all?

Here’s how the cycle works.

From October through December, the marketing machine tells you to indulge. Eat more. Drink more. Buy more. Celebrate harder. You deserve it.

Then, in January, those same industries pivot. Now they want to sell you the fix. 

[ ] The detox. 
[ ] The diet. 
[ ] The gym membership. 
[ ] The supplement stack. 
[ ] The reset.

You didn’t fail. You were set up.

And here’s what nobody talks about: nature doesn’t do New Year’s resolutions.

January isn’t about pushing harder. Look outside. The trees are bare. The ground is resting. Animals conserve energy. The earth is in a season of stillness before the next cycle of growth.

But we’ve been taught to sprint into the new year as we owe it something.

I used to live that way. Three Christmas trees, dinner for thirty. Every dish from scratch. I told myself that doing more meant I was doing it right. 

What I was really doing was running from how I actually felt.

When my life cracked open, I finally asked a different question. What if I did less on purpose?

That shift changed everything. Not just my holidays. 

My mornings. 
My health. 
My hormones. 
My ability to actually hear what my body was asking for.

This January, I’m not making resolutions. I’m protecting my rest. I’m stacking what works instead of chasing what’s trending.

If you’re feeling pressure to fix yourself this month, maybe the real experiment is doing nothing dramatic at all. Just noticing, listening, and letting January be what it actually is.

A season of stillness before the growth.

What would change if you gave yourself permission to rest this month instead of race?

I tried everything. 

Nothing was working.

I was listening to a podcast a while back where Kevin O’Leary said people like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs have this ability to focus solely on the signal and tune out all the noise.

And I remember thinking, that’s exactly what I couldn’t do.

The noise was everywhere. One expert said women should cold plunge. The next one said absolutely not. Add creatine. Eat 140 grams of protein. 

I was putting protein powder in my matcha every morning and honestly, I was gagging trying to get it down. 

I carried around those little pill organizers packed with 30 supplements a day. I spent thousands on functional medicine appointments that left me with more rules and zero results.

Six months in, I hadn’t lost a pound, still waking up at 3 AM, and the brain fog hadn’t lifted. 

I felt like I was doing everything right while my body just ignored me.

So I stopped listening to everyone else and started paying attention to me.

Morning walks at sunrise with my dog. Learning how to move in and out of ketosis. Supporting my ECS system.

The noise wants you to believe the answer is more. 

But what if you need to stop long enough to hear what's already there?

What’s one piece of wellness advice you finally decided to ignore?

Red light therapy is free.

It happens every morning at sunrise. 

Red light is not expensive panels at wellness centers. The sun delivers it for free, every single day, in those first 10 to 15 minutes after it rises.

That pink and orange glow at dawn? That’s red and near-infrared light. It penetrates your skin, reaches your cells, and energizes your mitochondria. The tiny powerhouses in every cell that produce your energy.

Here’s what started shifting when I committed to never missing a sunrise:

Better sleep. Morning red light triggers a countdown that signals your body to produce melatonin later that night.

More energy. Red light supports mitochondrial function, which means your cells actually make energy more efficiently.

Clearer skin. Infrared light increases circulation and supports collagen production.

Steadier mood. Morning light exposure helps regulate neurotransmitters that affect how you feel throughout the day.

I bundle up now. Heated gloves, puffy coat, beanie, the whole thing with Kula, and I walk three miles before the world gets loud. 

Get outside within 30 minutes of sunrise. Even 10 minutes counts. Skip the sunglasses. Track how you sleep and how you feel when you wake up. 

It costs nothing. It takes minutes. And it changes everything.

Who’s joining me tomorrow?

I was the quiet kid in the back of the classroom.

I never wanted to be called on.

Never wanted to read out loud.

And I definitely didn’t want to give a presentation.

So when I was 14, in 9th grade, and had to give a speech in front of my entire grade and their parents,

I delivered one of the worst speeches in the history of civilization. No exaggeration. It was, memorable. For the wrong reasons.

That moment stuck with me.

I struggled with being visible, using my voice, and public speaking well into my mid-30s.

I learned how to stay competent. Helpful. Fine. And mostly invisible.

By the time I hit 40, something shifted. I felt called toward something more. Something different.

- I wanted to speak.
- I wanted to start a podcast.
- I wanted to help others who felt the same quiet pull.

But I didn’t know how.


So instead of moving forward, I did what a lot of capable mid-life professionals do, I stayed stuck. And fearful.

For another eight years. Fear didn’t stop me loudly. It stopped me efficiently.

That finally changed in the summer of 2023, when I started posting on LinkedIn.

At first, it was small:

- content
- selfies 
- stories from my past

And something unexpected happened.

People responded. They resonated. They recognized themselves.

That was the beginning of a real transformation.

Since then, I’ve launched three podcasts, a YouTube channel, and developed my keynote, The Fear That Formed Me: a funny, honest talk about fear, visibility, and the self-imposed rules that quietly shape our lives.

I don’t talk about eliminating fear. I talk about what happens when you stop letting it decide.

Today, my work is about helping mid-life professionals do what they’ve been avoiding, not through hype, self-help clichés, or forced journaling, but through clarity, humor, and the relief of realizing they’re not broken.

If you’ve been feeling that quiet nudge toward something you keep putting off, you’re not alone.

And you’re probably closer than you think.

What do I miss the most while working in an office?

My Kobs.

He's been with me at home every day since we got him in mid-January 2021. 

I never really leave him for long stretches unless we/I travel, which isn't very often. 

He's in my office or just outside most of the time.

Sometimes, he'll sleep at the bottom of the stairs on the landing, but I know he's not far, keeping me company.


The thought of leaving him daily hit me on Sunday, and I had tears in the eyes, which is saying something/b c/ on Zoloft, I cannot cry. 


The good part is I'm only 10-12 minutes away, so I've come home for lunch the first two days, and that has worked out well. 

It's a tight turnaround for me, but it's worth it to see him, let him out, and let him run. 

We crate him for the first part of the day, then I leave him out in the family room for the afternoon. 


So far, so good. 🐾

A work-from-home day today, just like old times.

Kobe will probably be confused and be like, yo, I thought you were leaving here.

Let's talk about group chats for a minute.

I'm not a fan of any group communication.

I am part of exactly 1 group chat in my life, and it's with 2 other people.

So, on our beloved MS teams, we have a group chat, which I got thrown into from day 1. 

• My total messages contributed, zero.
• My total reactions, zero (I accidentally hovered once and hearted something and almost panicked, but was able to remove b4 anyone could notice)


There are occasional needs and uses for it, like sharing something quickly that can help the group. 

I find those messages few and quite far between. 


𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆:

• Memes (please stop)
• Happy "insert day of the week" (apparently, any of the 5 can be happy?)
• Something that should be sent individually, but it's like a reply all and sent to all of us (I have an entire post on reply all, but not today)
• Attempts at humor (which are usually the opposite of funny) - if you want a recent real example of this, DM me 

They should just type it out, then erase it. Don't press send. If you think it's funny, it's not. 


I turned off my alerts on day 1, I just couldn't, and still can't. 

This is my life now.

I've realized that the modern 9-5 office setup is the exact opposite of the casino setup. 

𝗜𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲:

• no clocks
  
• pumped in oxygen to keep you awake
  
• easily lose track of time. sit down to play 20 mins. of blackjack, and the next thing you know, 6 hours have passed


𝗜𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲:

• clocks everywhere. I have 3 screens, my phone, and several wall clocks constantly telling me what time it is.
  
• I think they reduce oxygen, constantly making you battle to keep your head from hitting your keyboard.
  
• time CRAWLS by. Last week, I swore I'd been there for 2 hours, and it had been 16 minutes. Then, I was certain it had been 2 more hours, and it was 11 minutes more. What felt like 4h was 27 minutes. 


I do get two 15-minute breaks, and those go by in a nanosecond. I've even tried just staring at my locked phone screen the entire time. Still gone in a flash. 


Last week, it was just my boss and me in the office. 

This week, everyone returns, and it'll be full.  Maybe 20-25 or so people in our room. 

Yeah

We all know the benefits of working from home. Let's talk about one of the biggest drawbacks 

to working in an office:

𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

Now, as someone with OCD, I understand it's harder for me than most b/c I don't like to touch anything in public, especially:

• bathroom door handles in or out
• stall doors and locks
• public toilet handles
• everything

You really take for granted using the bathroom in your home, until you're trapped for 8+ hours in an office and suddenly faced with using a 2-stall, 2-urinal men's room on a regular basis. 


It's clean, ish, but could definitely be better.

And, there are 3 sinks, but none of the automatic soap dispensers work. 

There was a standalone soft soap when I started, but it was running low.

A few days later, I brought in a larger soft soap, and it's now acting as the ONLY soap in the bathroom. What if they hadn't hired me? Would nobody there be using soap?

Guess I'll have to buy 2 more.

I didn't get the memo that it was a B.Y.O.S.S. workplace.


Now, using the bathroom like this is one thing, BUT

using it with others at the same time is where the real magic happens. 

I'm constantly trying to scout it, hoping for a solo mission, but inevitably, someone always comes in. I can never be fast enough. It's like I trigger an alarm.  

Young is in the bathroom. Steve, you're up, get in there!!!


I walked in yesterday, and a guy in one of the stalls said, to himself, I have to presume, "I shouldn't have used that Fiber One."

Whoa there, buddy.


Then, you have the classic: someone leaves the stall and washes their hands for 2 seconds?

Bro, you can't even get them wet in 2 seconds, let alone actually wash them.  Where do you work, so I can be sure to never go to that part of the office? 

Oh, that's right, I can't f'n see so I don't KNOW who that is!!!

Wow, what an experience, every day.


There's a new sign, two of them, black ink on white 8.5"x11 paper that says, "Spray the deodorizer after you use the bathroom!!!!!!!"

I guess they figured if it only had 2 exclamation points, ppl wouldn't' take it seriously, but 7 !, ppl would be like, "damn, they are serious, spray that sh!t"
