We ♥️ you, Orlando Health

This is the sappy post where I let you know that teaching breastfeeding counseling is one of my favorite things to do with some of my absolute favorite people Mirine Melissa Portunato . I am so grateful that 4 years ago I stumbled into a free class that then turned into an amazing teaching opportunity with FSU Center for Prevention & Early Intervention Policy

It has been a whirlwind of a summer.

But I am so happy to announce that Ladder to the Stars has been chosen by Studer Community Institute for their Venture Mentoring Program!

Words cannot describe the excitement and how much I'm looking forward to spending the next year being mentored by the area's finest in the world of entrepreneurship.

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The sweetest small town with some of our favorites, sarah Andrew & Sarah (The McWilsons) and their new venture SQUIRREL CROSSING

We explored, hiked, were greeted by everyone (who all knew Sarah & Andrew), enjoyed their air bnb space together with Copper the dog, slid down rocks in the swimming hole, and unfortunately had to work together when Nate took a sacrificial tumble to spare Avett a worse fate.

Shout out to sarah for keeping the kids cool in the truck while we had to drive to an ER and having a fun afternoon watching them as we waited there.

Never a dull moment on this trip.

For all the women I’m lucky to care for.

For those who are mothers,
For those yearning to be,
For those who are grieving,
For those who are caregiving in different capacities:

You are resilient.
And I’m proud to struggle in this life right alongside you.

What is it they say?

💙Time flies when you’re having fun💙

THANK YOU Pensacola. Because of you, I’m able to provide the care I want to and believe in so much.

Three years ago, I was told that I could not compete with the corporate practices. But I believed that building relationships with my patients would win out because people don’t choose their doctors based on hospital systems; they choose them based on the way they make them feel heard, and whether they partner with them in shared decision-making.

And can you believe it? Taking a huge risk paid off.

To anyone considering DPC and breaking away, I can do nothing but tell you that while the days are long and the work is hard, I have never felt more fulfilled than what I do, nor more aligned with my personal values as a physician AND a human.

Two years down, like 40 more to go!

Please share and follow along this journey with me 💙 I’m so glad you’re here.
