So Let’s Get Real

National Women’s Health Week kicks off every year on Mother’s Day, and honestly, it’s a reminder we all need. It’s not about fancy gym memberships or green smoothies—it’s about knowing what’s going on in your body and taking action that feels good to you. Far too often, we get caught up in the whirlwind of daily life, putting our health on the back burner because we’re juggling work, family, relationships, and everything in between.

But here’s the thing: your body is constantly communicating with you. It’s sending signals when something’s off—whether it’s fatigue, mood swings, cramps, or irregular cycles. The problem is, we’ve been conditioned to ignore these signals and keep pushing through, thinking it’s just part of being busy. The truth? Those symptoms are information, not something to dismiss. They’re your body’s way of saying, “Hey, pay attention!”

That’s why this week, I’m encouraging you to take one small, empowered step towards better health. Start by scheduling your routine checkups or even a visit to a specialist to address those lingering concerns. If you haven’t yet, start tracking your cycle. The Agenda. App is a great tool to sync your energy and mood with your menstrual cycle, so you can start understanding what’s truly going on in your body. This way, you can make informed decisions, whether it’s about your diet, workouts, or overall lifestyle.

National Women’s Health Week isn’t about doing it all at once. It’s about recognizing that your wellness matters and taking proactive steps toward your best self. Use this week as a time to shift from just surviving to truly thriving. Don’t let it be just a week of awareness—let it be a lasting change in how you view your health and how you show up for yourself every day.

Remember, you deserve to feel your best, not just for a week, but every single day.
