The Woman Behind the Scenes – The Quiet Leadership That Keeps Healthcare Moving By the time a patient walks into an operating room, countless details have already been handled. At Olena Medical, Cheryl Jones is one of the women making sure those details come together. There is a moment in healthcare that patients rarely think about. It happens before the doors to the operating room open. Before the physician enters. Before the anesthesia provider meets the patient. Before the first procedure of the day begins. Schedules have been reviewed. Providers have been assigned. Surgical centers have communicated their needs. Changes have been made, sometimes more than once. Phone calls and messages have gone back and forth. And someone has been keeping track of all those moving pieces. At Olena Medical , that person is often Cheryl Jones, Operations Manager . Her work takes place largely behind the scenes, but it is central to keeping the organization moving. “I see myself as the connect...

9.25 Friday Faves Hiiii! Happy weekend! Hello from the other side of the plague. We had the domino effect of sickness in our house. P got sick, then the Pilot, then Liv, and I thought I had fought it… and it got me. I was pretty sick all week last week and just now on the ups. It felt good to take a barre class yesterday – my first workout in over a week!! The rest of the weekend should be pretty fun. The Pilot is in town, I’m hoping we can go line dancing at Maverick, high school football game (so fun), P has a soccer game and a bday party. The weather has been the tiniest bit crispy and I love that it feels a little bit like fall. I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead! For now, i’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below. (Friendly reminder that affiliate links ar...

Lumebox review and if it’s worth it Sharing my full thoughts on the Lumebox after two years and if I think it’s worth it! If you’ve been wanting to add one to your collection, check it out here .  Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week. For today’s post, I wanted to share an updated Lumebox review now that I’ve been using it for two years It’s been one of my favorite things to stack into my morning wellness routine, and I love it even more than I thought I would. The short answer: yes, I think it’s worth it if you want red light therapy you can use at home (and take with you when you travel). It won’t replace a big full-body panel, but for skin, sore muscles, and my morning routine, it’s the one I reach for. Here’s what my current routine looks like: Eye care routine Get the kids packed up and off to school Breakfast – almost always a protein pudding with Daily Nutritional Support , Truvani, Nut...

My TMI wellness essentials: the slightly weird things I do to look/feel better Sharing some of my favorite TMI wellness essentials. Affiliate links are included below. Thank you so so much for shopping through my links! Ok friends, we’re getting a little TMI today. These are some of the slightly weird, decidedly unglamorous things I regularly do in the name of feeling good, looking a little more alive (I hope??), and taking care of myself. Some are wellness staples I’ve used for years, some are beauty things that make me look absolutely ridiculous while I’m doing them, and all are staples that I’ve use regularly and love. As always, this is just what I personally use and love, not medical advice. You definitely don’t need to do all of these things. Pick what makes sense for you and your life and leave the rest. My TMI wellness essentials 1. Castor oil packs Yes, I regularly strap this oil-soaked situation to my stomach while I watch TV. I usually rea...

Why Leaders at the Star City Center for the Arts in Roanoke Say Community-Based Studios Matter More Than Ever Nestled in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia, a long-standing ballet school is expanding its vision and inviting the community to forge a deeper connection to the arts than ever before. As the Star City School of Ballet continues to thrive in the trendy city center, it is evolving alongside the new Star City Center for the Arts , a shared home that celebrates movement, visual art, music, and multidisciplinary creative work in a community-based setting.  The way both spaces thrive is indicative of how community-based studios have grown beyond just places to hold classes. It all comes at a time when affordable creative spaces, arts access, and meaningful in-person connection can be difficult to find. “This is vital infrastructure for artists, families, educators, and emerging creative entrepreneurs,” explains Star City Managing Director Ana Elisa Martinez de la Peña. “We are work...
