Abraham Lincoln once famously said: “Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I would spend the first 4 hours sharpening my axe.”  What does a dearly departed US president cutting down a tree have to do with adolescent periods you ask? Preparation, baby! We fare so much better in life when we […] The post Back to School Period Prep: An Early Menstruation Guide for Kids and Their Parents appeared first on THE REBEL MAMA ..read more

Last week we hosted an incredible live podcast recording event with Joanna Griffiths, founder and president of Knix and KT by Knix. The three of us (and a few dozen friends and collaborators) sat down for an important discussion about Menopause and Perimenopause, essentially blowing the lid off a topic that has been historically under-studied and under-discussed.

Design is an art form that often doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It changes the way a space not only looks, but more importantly, how it functions and how it feels. I just moved and wanted some help to optimize my new space, so our friend and RMx Directory partner Adriana came over to give me some rapidfire design advice (a service she actually offers!). I found her insights so helpful that I’m sharing them with the class. Pssst – Adriana has recently created an experiential gift offering just in time for the holidays. APD is offering the APD Design Consultation in two ways this year: an I ..read more
