You’re probably wondering what the C.U.R.E. is all about and if it’s for you? The answer is that it’s for all of us – if we think about and examine the cracks in our lives – the times we falter, get sick, suffer, and reach out for help. We all need Compassion, Understanding, Respect, and Empathy. But these terms are bandied about commonly these days. How do you know if the CURE applies to you?

I am an emergency physician, educator, mother of five, and grandmother of ten, living and working at the intersection of medicine and midlife. Through The CURE — Compassion, Understanding, Respect, and Empathy — I explore how high-functioning adults can strengthen their bodies, minds, and relationships as they navigate the demands of the sandwich generation, shifting careers, retirement, and aging partnerships. Grounded in science and informed by lived experience, this work is about more than longevity. It is about building resilience, preserving purpose, and recognizing the beauty that continues to pull us forward.

Come along on the journey with me – help me live by the motto: CURE YOU – CURE ME.
