Making time this long weekend to recharge our batt Making time this long weekend to recharge our batteries while remembering the brave souls we honor this Memorial Day. I hope you find a moment to rest, reflect and nourish your spirit 🤍
It was a great honor to receive an award from @wom It was a great honor to receive an award from @womensalzmovement in support of the effort to shine a light on the central but often invisible role caregivers play in the lives of those living with dementia.
It was incredibly meaningful to stand alongside the brilliant scientists, clinicians, and advocates whose work on women’s brain health is transforming how dementias are understood, prevented, and treated.
@MariaShriver your leadership has reshaped the landscape of women’s health. Thank you for your mentorship, friendship, and unwavering belief in me.
And thank you to WAM for hosting such an inspiring forum, one that celebrates research, empowers caregivers, and funds the future of dementia prevention and treatment 💙
Advocacy used to feel big and intimidating until I Advocacy used to feel big and intimidating until I realized that staying silent helps no one and only delays the change we so desperately need for people living with FTD and their care partners.
I spoke at the @theaftd Education Conference about why I speak up and why now is the time for all of us to raise our voices. We’re so much more powerful when we work together.
If you’re ready to take action, AFTD’s advocacy toolkit (link in my bio) has everything you need to get started.
Because real change begins when we’re willing to care out loud 📢💙
#EndFTD
FTD takes and it takes and takes. But this communi FTD takes and it takes and takes.
But this community gives its all.
You give your time, your energy, your love.
I hate that we all have to be in this room… but I’m forever grateful we’ve found each other here. In this fight to #endftd together 💙
It’s Independent Bookstore Day tomorrow! 📘📚
I love making time to browse at the local bookstore. Chatting with people about what they’re reading and getting new recs always fills my soul.
What I’m not great at yet? Telling strangers I’m a new author 😅 Lucky for me, I’ve got a very enthusiastic 10-year-old wingwoman who’s not shy to speak up on my behalf 💁🏼‍♀️📘
So today and whenever you can, show some love and support to your local indie bookstore. There’s so much magic in there. ✨
