ASipOfFlava\Going Into Work Today
Some mornings bring more than just coffee. Today I’m walking into clinic not only as a staff member, but also as a patient having an important conversation with my doctor about working safely while living with chronic pain. Sometimes life asks us to face hard truths and have honest conversations about what support looks like…

ASipOfFlava| Your Elders Have Value
Just a quiet moment with a hot cup of coffee… thinking about the elders who shaped me, guided me, and poured wisdom into my life without needing recognition. I valued them deeply then. I honor them even more now. And as I step into that elder space myself, I find myself wondering how wisdom is…

Life|Bridging the Generational Gap in the Workplace
Leopard print, structure, and a little old-school wisdom never go out of style. 🌻 In this Seasoned SoulZ reflection, I share how one honest conversation with a younger supervisor reminded me that experience and fresh energy don’t have to clash — they can flow together when communication leads the way.

Life|H&W|🌻 When Compassion Collides with Policy
🌻 When Compassion Collides with Policy It’s hard enough for a patient to call a specialty clinic. They sit on hold longer than they should. When they finally reach a person, it’s often not the one who can help them. And by the time they get to someone who can, they’re told: “Your insurance no longer…
