The remainder of this newsletter is divided into two sections: one for readers (aka all subscribers) and one for Substack writers. Read the section(s) that interest you.

Each week, I feature special articles on women’s health by our talented and knowledgeable writers. At the same time, writers are adding our outstanding work to the Directory by topic. The Directory is the place to find great women’s health writing on Substack.

So far, our Directory contains articles on:

• mental health

• autoimmune issues

• menstrual cycles

• neurodivergence

• eating disorders and disordered eating patterns

• women’s cancer - no publications yet, but I’ll continue actively promoting this to find one.

We’re lucky to have some incredible writers who genuinely invest their heart and soul into their work! I invite you to check out these wonderful articles in the Directory.

Today’s Featured Articles From Our Collective Members

Vera Jerinic-Brodeur is a NASM certified Personal Trainer, RRCA certified Running Coach, and Precision Nutrition Certified Nutrition Coach. Vera writes Everyday Strength, and I appreciate her honest perspective on health and wellness.

I especially enjoyed this article about coming to terms with our bodies and the aging process. I could relate to her personal experiences and the stories she tells. One line that truly stood out to me was, “Over the past half-century, my body has pretty much responded on demand.” This statement struck a chord because it reflects a truth I've come to recognize in my own life. For so long, I took the resilience and adaptability of my body for granted. It wasn't until I reached midlife that I began to understand how hard my body was working to achieve this.

The article beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of aging and the changes we experience.

Sue Buffington has a master’s degree in career development and a facilitator certification in global career development. She writes Shadow & Light, which focuses on spiritual growth and self-discovery. She used to work helping young welfare recipients with employment and life skills. At any age, we have so much to offer younger generations, as Sue discovered recently when she helped her nephew with his job search.
