My 3 day hospital stay + 3 things you can do to prioritize rest

Hey there Reader, Happy Monday! Consider this month's JOYrney™ Mail a self-love letter and a reminder not to take your health for granted. A couple of weeks ago, I was experiencing extreme discomfort and bloating in my midsection. I initially ignored it for a few days, thinking I'd just eaten something my body disagreed with. Three days later, I was still in pain, but by then, it had become so uncomfortable that I couldn't even sleep. So at 11 PM on July 19th, I decided to go to the ER. Five...

At the Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 Happy FriYAYYYYY, Reader! At The Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Last week the family and I headed down to Baltimore for my 20th high school reunion. Crazy – I know! 🙈 With this, and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the journey I've been on the past 20 years of becoming a woman, and what emotional wellness looks like — especially for...

Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💎This Week’s #JOYGem 💎 You’re not forgotten. You’re being preparing for something greater than you imagined! Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but God still hasn’t moved? Same. I know what it’s like to pray, prepare, stay faithful—and still feel like you’re sitting in the waiting room, wondering if your name will ever be called. But in this week’s Bible study, I was reminded of something powerful: Just because God isn’t moving doesn’t mean He...

Your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like parts of your story were too messy to be meaningful? Same here. 🙋🏾♀️ But a couple weeks ago, I was reminded (yet again) that God doesn’t waste anything—especially not the messy parts. You don’t need to be “fully ready” to walk in your purpose. In fact… your transformation is often the very thing that makes you ready. This week on the JOYrney To Purpose® Podcast, we’re looking at Acts 9— where Saul’s radical...

Hey Reader, I had a moment last year that I haven’t been able to shake. It reminded me why this JOYrney™ work matters — and how deeply we all need JOY right now. But before I share that story,. What does JOY look like for you right now? (At work, at home… even just in your day-to-day?) Think about that for a second. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a corporate leader, a mother/caregiver, or simply someone navigating big life transitions — burnout is real. And most of the time, we try to...

Erica Lasan -  Maternal Care Nurse Burnout and Retention Solutions

Hey Reader, Happy FriYAYYYYY! 🎉 Nine months ago, I was in one of the most vulnerable moments of my life — giving birth to my third child. Today I’d like you to introduce you to a new friend – and someone who brought me so much JOY and comfort during (what could have been) one of the most stressful days of my life – my Labor & Delivery Nurse, Melissa.

Hey Reader, If you've ever wondered what my "productive" mornings look like, let me paint you a picture...👇🏿 My husband, Nick, is an innate early riser. We’re talking daily 6 AM, 4-6 mile runs… for fun. (Yeah, he’s 'bout that life. lol.) Every morning, I watch in admiration — so inspired by his consistency around getting up early. So, at the start of 2025, I declared: ✨ This is my year to become a 5:30 AM wake-up workout "girlie." ✨ And for five weeks straight? I snoozed. Later and later each...
