Today marks the last day of Fibroid Awareness Month, but the conversation shouldn’t end here.

For years, I quietly dealt with fibroids while still trying to show up for life, work, family, and everything in between. Most people had no idea what I was carrying because so much of this journey is invisible.

We make so many assumptions based on what we can see, but some of the hardest battles leave no visible signs. Sometimes the strongest person in the room is simply doing their best to hold it together.

This month, I had the honor of being part of the inaugural “Making Room Session” with Around the Way Dreams, beautifully produced by the incredibly talented photographer Melissa Alexander. Alongside five other amazing women, I shared my story in hopes that someone else feels seen, heard, or encouraged to advocate for their health. We were each charged with bringing fruit that resembled the size of your fibroid … let that sink in…

If you have a few minutes, I hope you’ll check out this impactful work at www.aroundthewaydreams.com (link in bio). 💛

Let’s keep talking about fibroids. Let’s keep supporting women. And let’s keep making room for healing and empathy. 🤍
