Most menopause content assumes you had years to see it coming. This talk is for the women who didn’t.

This is one of the topics I most wish more providers would talk about. Medical and surgical menopause from cancer treatment gets very little airtime, and the women living through it often got the least warning and the least support.

GPCP Force 2026 is hosted by NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, an Innovations in Cancer Genetics conference. They built an entire Patient Wellness and Connection Space into the event, because the people actually living through this deserve to have their needs heard and addressed.

I’m honored to be part of the Wellness Round Table there. Not as the only voice in the room, but as one piece of a bigger effort to make sure nobody walks through this alone.

If this is you, or someone you love, I hope you’ll come find us.

Thursday, October 15th. 2:20 PM.

Link to register is in bio. Use code THURSDAY50 for a Thursday-only pass for $30.

Did you know going to the bathroom more than once a night isn’t normal?

Larry didn’t. He thought it was just part of getting older.

It’s not. It’s not just aging. It’s not just drinking too much water before bed. It’s often your pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor PT can retrain your bladder, calm an overactive nervous system, and get you back to real sleep. The kind Larry is definitely not getting.

Follow for more of the pelvic floor education your doctor never gave you!

You’ve laughed to keep from crying about your pelvic pain. Now you can just laugh.

The Moon Rituals is a comedy about pelvic pain, pain with s*x, and the shame that keeps us quiet about both. Written by a playwright who lives it. Performed by people who get it. And yes, you will laugh out loud.

Here’s the truth nobody tells you at your annual exam: pain is common. Isolation is common. Neither one has to be your normal.

That’s why I’m going. Not just to laugh (though I will). Two of the shows come with post-show panels on pelvic health, and every ticket comes with a free pelvic health resource guide. Real information, wrapped in a story that actually gets it right.

Running August 24 through September 4 in midtown NYC. Link in bio for tickets.

Save this for a friend who needs a laugh, a scream, and a reminder that she is not alone in this.

L**e gets treated like a last resort.

Something you reach for if there’s a “problem.” Something that means your body isn’t doing what it’s supposed to.

Here’s the truth: l**e isn’t a fix for something broken. It’s a tool, and every single person with a pelvic floor can benefit from it, hormones, hydration, and stress all affect natural lubrication, at every age and every stage.

Using it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. Not using it doesn’t mean something is right.

Save this for the friend who thinks she’s the only one who needs it. Follow for the pelvic floor education your doctor never gave you.

6.5 years.

That’s how long the average woman waits before she says anything to a doctor about leaking, pain, or pelvic pressure.

Not because it isn’t fixable. Because she was made to feel like it was just her new normal.

Common does not mean normal. And you don’t have to wait 6.5 years to find that out.

This one is for every woman who has ever felt like her pain wasn’t taken seriously.

Tight Lipped is an organization fighting for people with chronic pelvic pain. And they’re doing something I love: turning a New York Liberty game into a night that actually means something.

Use code TIGHTLIPPED at the link in my bio for discounted tickets. Part of the proceeds support women’s health.

Basketball and pelvic health advocacy in one night. I’m here for it.
