What’s something new in the Charlotte area that you’d like to do this summer?
I’m interested in going to the new adult part of Carowinds. I’m also excited about the Charlotte Mimosa Festival on September 27th at Lenny Boy’s. It’s not new but it only happens once a year and was a wonderful experience last year. They had a band, DJ, vendors, food trucks, and dancing. It was really a great time and I’m excited for it again this year!

What is the best piece of parenting advice you’ve received?
Avoid disciplining from anger. Understand why a behavior occurred and decide on corrective measures when you are calm and can think clearly. When you discuss with you are child what the next steps will be, you are able to still show love towards your child even though you are not pleased with an action they took. Kids need to feel loved and safe even when they make poor choices so that they can be open to being honest with you in the future.
Do you have a favorite podcast or TV show to recommend to our followers?
Ovaryactive – it’s a podcast by 2 OB/GYN female physicians discussing everything perimenopause and menopause. They give honest and real insights to what women experience and what science actually shows about treating this phase of life. It’s helped me as I experience perimenopause as a woman and has given me insights to improve how to help my patients.
