I got this as an audiobook, and I’m so glad I did because hearing the author swear with an accent somehow made it even more entertaining. Beyond the humor, I learned so much about how little the medical field has historically studied women’s bodies. It was validating to realize that many things I’ve experienced aren’t just “in my head” and to feel a little less crazy.

Got a hysterectomy scheduled and wondering, “Wait… what am I supposed to do now?” Don’t worry, I made the list I wish someone had handed me before they removed my uterus and sent me on my way.

A beginner’s guide to backpacking for short trips—2 to 5 days of trails, tents, and learning the ropes without overpacking or overthinking. Perfect for anyone new to the trail who wants to survive—and actually enjoy—the experience.

I was never the active type, but as 40 crept closer it started to feel urgent to change that—and stick with it. Along the way I’ve picked up some strategies and accessories that have made the journey a whole lot easier and I like to share them with everyone!

I used to think houseplants were simple—just soil, water, and light. Turns out, they’re picky little roommates with opinions on pots, humidity, and even what bugs they’ll tolerate. Over time I’ve gone from plant-curious to full-blown plant lady, and this list is my guide for anyone who wants thriving, happy houseplants (without as many mistakes as I made). Whether you’re a brand-new plant parent or full-on jungle curator, these are the tools that turned me from clueless to confident. Just remember: every plant is a diva, and you’ll learn their moods one leaf at a time.
