May has the same chaotic energy as December and we're not talking about it enough.

The recitals. The field trips. The volunteer asks. The party you forgot to RSVP to. And somewhere underneath all of it: something of your own you're trying to protect.

This week I'm talking about how I'm actually navigating this season without losing my mind or my vision. It's a quick episode, like a voice note from a friend, because we're all busy.

Crystal is 38, single, living in Southern France, and in the middle of her IVF journey. By choice and on her own terms. And she is so clear and so at peace with this decision it will make you question every time you've waited on someone else's timeline.

We talk about the breakup that started it all, 13 years of undiagnosed endometriosis, what French healthcare made possible that American healthcare never could, and why she's done outsourcing the thing she wants most in the world to someone else's emotional readiness.

We also get into woo, witchcraft, the suppression of the feminine, and why the village that used to raise our children has disappeared and what it's costing us.

You'll have a good day. Feel proud, capable, like yourself. And then something will happen. A number on a screen, a bill, a reminder of the reality you're living in. And just like that, the good feeling collapses.

This week I'm not pretending I have it figured out. I'm telling you what it actually looks like from inside of it: the whiplash, the spiral, and the small unglamorous things that pull me back from the edge.

Including the thing my therapist helped me realize that I keep coming back to: I have a 100% track record of surviving my worst days. And so do you.

This one is for the mother holding hope and despair in both hands right now. You're not alone. And this isn't forever.
