Perimenopause: The Women’s Health Conversation We Need to Have

For far too long, women’s health has been an afterthought—something we just had to “deal with” quietly. But not anymore. Women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves, and one of the biggest topics right now? Perimenopause. It’s that transitional phase before menopause when estrogen levels start shifting, leading to all kinds of fun (read: frustrating) symptoms. Hot flashes? Check. Irregular periods? Yep. Low libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings? Unfortunately, all on the list. The good news? People are talking about it, and that means more support, more solutions, and way less suffering in silence.

Why Every Woman Should Get a Pelvic Floor Assessment—And How It Affects Sexual Health

When we think about pelvic floor health, we often associate it with women who have given birth. But pelvic floor health is essential for every woman, regardless of childbirth history. As we age, the pelvic floor muscles—responsible for supporting the bladder, uterus, rectum, and vagina—can weaken, impacting not only bladder and bowel function but also sexual health and pleasure.

The Barbie Movie: An Edgework Special

I finally saw the Barbie movie (I was a few weeks behind), and I'll start by saying it absolutely lived up to the hype. What a timely coincidence that here at WISe we're focusing on "Edgework" this month and what it means to push past and challenge our limitations. The Barbie movie focuses on just that.

In a world that often feels full of roadblocks, "Barbie" serves as a hopeful tale that we can overcome our challenges, it tells an encouraging story of humans of all ages  breaking free from societal boundaries. It's overall a movie of triumph, but also a reminder of how far we still have to go.

Inclusivity in Motherhood

with a friend and was reminded of how wild the tale has truly been.  I spent nearly 28 years of my life believing that I did not want to parent a child as I knew, statistically, being a mother would mean I would have less of a chance to achieve my goals.  After a series of challenging and life-altering experiences, I decided that I wasn't going to let a few data points determine the course of my life.  Two short months later I became a mother through adoption, and every day I relearn who I am as a human, woman and CEO who also serves as a mother. Motherhood is intense and indescribable, but most importantly, it is highly personal.  Every person has their own “motherhood story"- I'm still very much writing my own.

No Shame in Pleasure

As we celebrate sexual health awareness month, let’s explore our own sexuality by tapping into the beliefs that are not serving us, and honor the fact that we are all sexual beings, deserving of pleasure!

Sexual health is an essential piece of our whole health and wellbeing. PLEASURE is a valuable part of being human, one that should not be shamed. For most of us, our sexuality and beliefs about sex/gender identity/sexual orientation are tied to our upbringing, culture, religious ideation, social views on purity or being a “good girl/boy,” etc.

Promoting the Wellbeing of Female Physicians

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a disproportionate toll on the wellbeing of health care professionals around the world. While media coverage highlighted the stark reality of physician burnout and fatigue, the true crisis facing our healthcare system and society has not been fully recognized. By 2033, the United States will experience a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians (4). In fact, a recent survey of 20,665 health care workers found that approximately one in five physicians and two in five nurses intend to leave their practice within two years (5). Dr. Christine Sinsky, AMA vice president of professional satisfaction, says that “if even one-third to one-half of nurses and physicians carry out their expressed intentions to cut back or leave, we won’t have enough staff to meet the needs of patients” (2).

Women's Pay Gap Today Requires Investing For Tomorrow

A survey by S&P Global found that only 26% of American women have money in the stock market. Additionally, “the average female investor keeps 68% of her portfolio in cash and cash equivalents, like money market accounts, Treasury bills, and certificates of deposit”, according to BlackRock. This is a concern due to factors like: women statistically live longer than men and they make 82 cents on the dollar to their male counterparts which means they should consider long-term growth focused related to their assets. Building wealth is a slow and steady process.

Be One Less – Cervical Cancer Prevention

Back in 2007, you might recall this catchy commercial for Gardasil – the vaccine to help protect women against cancer-causing HPV types. The commercials had the clear message of “one less,” because with the help of the vaccine, “one less” woman would be diagnosed with, or die from cervical cancer. And since 2016, Gardasil® 9 has been the only HPV vaccine used in the United States, and helps prevent nine different HPV types.
