Mammograms Save Lives
I've been reading mammograms for 20 years. One in 8 women will get breast cancer. A few seconds of discomfort to find a breast cancer early is so worth it.
I talk to women the way I wish every woman could hear it from her own breast radiologist: plainly, without the scare tactics.
What we'll talk about:
- Why you get a mammogram every year, and why you never retire from them
- What a callback really means, and why you shouldn't panic
- What dense breast tissue means for you
- Why having no family history doesn't mean you can skip your mammogram

Rebuilding After Losing My Spouse
I lost my dad to COVID in 2020. In May 2023, I lost my spouse. A few months later, I lost my radiology job, and I was deeply in debt. Then in 2025, my mom died just two weeks after her cancer was found.
I've pulled myself out of debt more than once in my life. Rebuilding has been the hardest thing I've ever done. Besides being a mom, it's also been the most fulfilling. The farm helped hold me together. At 51, I'm still figuring out who I am, and I'm OK with that.
What we'll talk about:
- How to keep going when the losses stack up
- How to rebuild your finances after loss
- How to start over in your 50s
- Why it's OK not to have it all figured out

Building a Farm and Five Businesses While Working as a Physician
I started as an x-ray tech. I worked weekend 12-hour shifts to get through college, then went to medical school. In residency I was the only woman for years.
In 2018, I bought my first alpacas. Within six months I had 20. Today Eagle Eye Farm has 130 animals from 14 species. Along the way I opened All Things Sheared, now in two locations, and started Soaring Bee Apiary and Farmgirl Fab Skincare. And I still work full time as a breast radiologist, reading mammograms.
None of it works without people. I lead a team of more than 20 across my businesses, plus my Nu Skin team. I believe everyone on a team should feel respected, needed and wanted. I also build community online, where women support each other and remind each other they're worth taking care of too. I even build a business with my daughter, which means learning to go from being her mom to being her partner.
It's damn hard, but fulfilling.
What we'll talk about:
- How to build something new without giving up your career
- How to build a team people want to be part of
- What it's really like to run a farm that went viral, and why you can't get caught up in the numbers
- What changes when your child becomes your business partner

Taking Care of Yourself After Taking Care of Everyone Else
For years, I put myself last. Work, grief, motherhood and the farm all came first. Then I made a different decision.
Now I walk every day, and at 51 I'm training to run my first full 5K without stopping. My weight loss hasn't been a straight line, and walking has done as much for my mind as for my body.
Then I started taking supplements, and I felt better. Feeling better made me want to look better, so I started a skincare routine. Looking better made me want to feel even better from the inside out. It truly is cyclical.
Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's essential.
What we'll talk about:
- How to start when you've been last on your own list for years
- Why progress doesn't have to be perfect to count
- How taking care of the inside and the outside feed each other
