Really proud of this one. I’ve spent about 2 years tweaking and pruning this piece, and it felt right to share on mom’s birthday.

Today’s BLURT is about mom, my reluctance to become one, and the unearthing that followed after I eventually did.

For 9 years I knew something wasn’t right with my body. Inflammation so bad I could barely walk at night, bloating, fatigue, breakouts, inability to lose weight no matter how clean I ate or how little I drank, or how diverse my exercise routine was. I saw a nutritionists and medical doctors and threw money at all sorts of supplements, cleanses, and more.

Just before I found Cary Holistic Health and Dr. Jill Cole(@drjillcole ) I was experiencing my strangest symptoms yet. Once again, I had bloodwork and it all came back within a normal range. I told my GP I knew something wasn’t right and my symptoms were related. Either hormonal, food sensitivity, or both. She disagreed. She thought these things were unrelated. My OB offered to put me on birth control to help with the hormonal aspect of it. I felt deflated and more frustrated than ever.

After a six month program with Dr. Cole, I finally feel like I have control over my body. Dr. Cole will be one of the first guests on The Beholder podcast when it launches this fall. I can’t wait for you to hear everything she has to say. It could actually be life-changing.

This was it. This was the moment my mother had been waiting for.

In today’s BLURT, I share a chapter from my grief memoir in progress, adapted into an essay, about the princess trope, mother-daughter love, and how this Disney narrative served as a salve for my grief.

Feels like the right day to talk about what your clothes are actually made of. Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically treated crops in the world, and yet most of us have never thought twice about it.

You read your ingredient labels. You should read your fabric labels too!

@deeniewrites breaks down everything you need to know about shopping clean clothing, and the brands doing it right.

New York City does this thing a few times a year when it gifts its millions of residents the most impeccable weather. You can feel the city buoyed by the sun, the breeze, the cerulean sky. To make things even more magical, it has this way of sometimes ushering you through the perfect kind of day— to all right spots, where your meandering pays off. That thing you love is on sale and that perfect outdoor table opens up just as you arrive and that nail salon has availability right now (for 2!) and the price of lunch is remarkably affordable and you bump into all the right people and places that make the day feel like it was curated just for you. It’s special and it doesnt always happen, but it did this weekend. I think mom was looking out for us. ✨

Feeling so lucky to be 43 and surrounded by such incredible friends, to spend time in the city that became my 2nd home at 22 years old. Thank you @kateleahhewett @harkathon @juliebethtanous @paigede923 @helendealtry for making this weekend magical.
