I'm expecting a delivery of a book, Swiffer pads, and a duster for my baseboards and I'm most excited about the duster for my baseboards. I don't even recognize myself anymore.

My friend and I decided that we are going to rage clean each other's houses together and just scream at one another the whole time but not take offense because just straight up rage cleaning isn't enough anymore.

No one is talking about Luigi anymore, but today I got a bill for a routine colonoscopy and the hospital billed my insurance $24,000. I asked how they justify this and they said that the real cost is $250 but the insurance won't pay that unless they bill an astronomical amount.

As a healthcare writer I have so many thoughts on the insurance industry and I'm sorry this is what it took for people to start sharing their stories. We've been putting up with this broken system for too long. What can we do to facilitate real change?

Did you know that most doctors spend an average of 13 mins with patients? Docs I interview say that patients are so worried they won't get through all their questions they often forget to listen to the answers. Going to the doc for care shouldn't cause more anxiety because of time constraints.

Menopause means sleeping with four different blankets of varying weights, kicking them off one by one in the middle of the night and then slowly pulling them all back over you in the early hours of morning when you wake up freezing.

I've been hearing memoir is hard to sell for years, but people want to hear unique and compelling stories. Remember, the people who get published are the ones who don't give up.
