May everyone have the opportunity to do the /innerwork. I acknowledge that its been a privilege to been given the space & capacity to come to understand myself more and more and heal. I wish everyone the chance to gift yourself with healing and as @marlo states 'there's no telling how profound the impact will be'. Any thing is possible....

Turned 40. Decided to see what my baseline was. Got the Prenuvo scan. Mild/ normal degeneration from age. Provided some peace of mind. Wish Insurance covered it, but nonetheless felt it was worth the cost.

Last week was Black Maternal Health Week, and I wanted to share this collection of stories around the black birthing experience. Storytelling in healthcare is so important and I hope you can give some of these a read! https://www.self.com/package/black-maternal-mortality

Problem with sports research is that’s mostly done on white cis men and then generalise to all humans. But women are build differently so guidelines, training plans, clothes, equipment should be different https://open.substack.com/pub/annehelen/p/whose-bodies-get-studied

Reposting from /healthcare, but would love this channel’s thoughts! Is the reason we see less women engaging in strength training due to stigma of “muscles” on women, lack of childhood encouragement, or something else? Clearly women benefit greatly, but statistically, women are less likely to train strength
