A Love Letter to My Mom—and a Wake-Up Call to Every Woman

I still remember my mom walking around the neighborhood, peeking through store windows, her face lighting up when she found a good deal (or a good garden idea). She loved the simple joys—bread and coffee in the morning, tending to her plants, and those long walks to nowhere in particular. She wasn’t into exercise or health books. She never counted carbs or followed fitness trends. She just lived the way many moms do—giving, moving, but not necessarily pausing to care for herself.

Until one day, she fell and broke her hip. It changed everything.

She couldn’t move around like she used to, and slowly, her health declined. I wish I had known then what I know now. I wish I could have taken her here to the U.S., maybe given her a second chance at stronger bones, more energy, and more time.

But what I can do is carry the lesson she left behind—that our health isn’t just about us.

I’ve had my own wake-up calls—pain in my back that landed me in the ER, warnings from my body that I can’t ignore. Like so many women, I juggle family, work, and a never-ending to-do list. But I’ve realized that caring for myself isn’t selfish—it’s one of the most loving things I can do for my family.

This May, as we celebrate Women’s Health Month and Mother’s Day, I’m inviting you to do the same. Pause. Reflect. Make one intentional choice for your wellness.

Whether it’s stretching, taking a short walk, choosing nourishing foods, or exploring ways to feel stronger and more energized—start with one step.

To support women in doing just that, here’s a beautiful Mother’s Day Pack  that’s more than a gift—it’s a message:

“You matter. Your health matters.”

Here’s what’s inside:

Elite – for whole-body cellular health

Vináli – for radiant skin and antioxidant support

Skincerity by Lucim+ – a nightly breathable masque to refresh and renew

FREE Vináli – because your glow deserves a boost

FREE Frother – for your favorite health drinks or coffee moments

🕒 Limited-time offer: May 8 (8 PM MT) to May 11 (11:59 PM MT)

You can find all the details here.

More than anything, this is a nudge—a gentle reminder to give yourself or a woman you love the care she might be putting off.

Because our moms may not have had the tools, the time, or the knowledge—but we do. And now, more than ever, it’s time to use them.

Let’s change the story for ourselves, our daughters, and the women who still have time to rewrite theirs.

If something in this message spoke to you—or if you have questions about taking small steps toward better health—I’d love to hear from you.

You can message me directly through the site or reach out to me here. Let’s have the conversation. It could change everything.
