Feeling Off, Puffy, or Drained? Your Body’s Trying to Tell You Something.


Do you ever wake up already tired?
The kind of morning where your rings don’t fit, your mood’s on edge, and your “healthy” salad somehow makes you feel worse?
Yeah. That.

You may be inflamed. And it’s time to finally understand what that means.


What’s Happening

On November 17th, Katie Tomaszewski - a women’s health and wellness educator and founder of Deep Line Health - is joining us live for a real talk about inflammation:

✨ What it really is (and why it’s not the enemy)
✨ How it’s draining your energy and hijacking your mood
✨ What you can actually do to calm it down - without kale or chaos

This isn’t another “drink more water” lecture.
It’s relatable and full of doable steps that make sense for women who have actual lives.


How to Join

This event is free for members of RealWomen Connect™ - my online community where women talk about what happens in real life - the good, the difficult, and everything in between - and even laugh a little along the way.

Your first month is free, and after that it’s only $10 a month if you decide to stay. It's a crazy deal, right?!
Act fast because seats are limited, and registration closes November 16th at midnight.


Before You Go

If you’re a man who somehow landed this email (hey, no judgment), please forward it to a woman you care about. She’ll thank you later. She deserves to understand her body - not fight against it.

One more thing before you go...
I’d love to hear from you.
Hit reply and tell me one question you have about inflammation (or something your body’s been doing that makes you go “what is happening?”). Your question might even show up (anonymously) during the event.

I hope I see you at the Zoom!

This newsletter is going to be a little different. Usually I write about something we’re all walking through. A shift, a patter, even a conversation we need to have. But lately, the question hasn’t been about the topic. It’s been about me. “Who are you, really?” I keep hearing it. In DMs, after events, and inside conversations with women who’ve been around for a while. There’s curiosity there... and trust. And I don’t take that lightly. So instead of giving you another lesson this week, I’m...

a community of women

If you’ve ever joined a group and quietly thought, “This isn’t for me,” you’re not alone. Most spaces promise connection and end up feeling loud, awkward, or like one more thing to manage. That’s why this exists. It’s a private community that lives off social media - so there’s no algorithm, no drama, and no pressure to post just to stay visible. It’s not a Facebook group.It’s not another place you have to keep up.And no one’s watching to see if you’re “engaged enough.” You don’t have to...

new year goals

This year was a good one. Not perfect, not easy. But good in ways that actually count. I reached a goal I’d been working toward - over 50 women inside my online women’s community. Conversations about real life, support, and women showing up as themselves - not who they think they should be. I said yes to more than 25 speaking engagements. Different rooms, different stories, same reminder every time - people want honesty more than hype. I became a Nea-Nea - that’s my grandma name. Still wild...
