At 16, she underwent a double mastectomy. At 22, she was awarded $2 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Let that sink in.

We don’t allow children to legally purchase alcohol until they’re 21. We don’t allow them to drive at 12. We recognize that maturity, judgment, and the ability to understand consequences develop over time.

Yet we’re allowing life-altering medical procedures to be performed on minors, sometimes with irreversible consequences.

Where do we draw the line?

This isn’t about politics, religion, or disrespecting anyone’s identity. It’s about protecting our children.

At 12, children in California can independently consent to certain mental health services. While parental consent is still required for gender-transition surgery, I believe we need a serious conversation about whether our safeguards go far enough.

Compassion should never come at the expense of caution.

We owe our children protection, proper medical evaluations, informed consent, and professionals who prioritize their long-term well-being.

Respecting someone’s identity and questioning medical decisions involving minors are not mutually exclusive.

Some decisions deserve time, maturity, and extraordinary care.

We need to be willing to have these uncomfortable conversations. Our children deserve nothing less.

What are your thoughts?

You are allowed to change your mind.

You are allowed to outgrow the version of you that once felt right.

You are allowed to want something different, choose a new path, change careers, change relationships, change your priorities, change your beliefs, or completely reinvent yourself.

That is not failure. That is growth.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit, “This isn’t who I want to be anymore.”

You are not stuck with who you were at 20, 30, 40, 50—or even who you were yesterday.

Life is not about becoming one version of yourself and staying there forever. It’s about learning, evolving, healing, exploring, and giving yourself permission to become whoever you decide to become next.

Change your mind.
Change direction.
Start over.
Become someone new.

It’s your life. You’re still writing it. ❤️

This picture made me emotional in the sweetest way.

I uploaded a photo of myself as a little girl and asked ChatGPT to create an image of her with her hands in the air saying, “I can do whatever I want. I can be whoever I want.”

And when I saw it, I realized… that is exactly how I still feel.

Every morning I wake up believing there is something more I can do, something new I can create, another idea I can chase, another challenge I can give myself.

And then, of course, those negative thoughts try to creep in. The doubt. The fear. The “Who do you think you are?” thoughts.

This is the little girl I talk to.

I remind her, we’re a big girl now. We’ve made it through things she couldn’t even imagine. We get to make our own choices. We get to dream bigger. We get to try, fail, learn, grow and try again.

And most importantly, I remind her:

You can do whatever you want.
You can be whoever you want.

I think she would be pretty proud of us. ❤️

We are so excited to announce

I AM: A Teen Girl
Empowerment Event, hosted by One Heart At A Time Foundation on Sunday,

November 8th in Pico Rivera. 💗
Our goal is simple: every girl should be able to attend at no cost. We never want finances to be the reason a young woman misses an opportunity to connect, grow, create, and feel supported.

We are currently seeking community sponsors, businesses, and individuals who would like to help make this day possible.

Sponsorship and donation opportunities include:

* Monetary sponsorships to help cover event expenses
* Lunch, snacks, desserts or beverages
* A sponsored coffee bar or dirty soda bar
* Gift bag items, journals, self-care products or teen-friendly goodies
* Vision board supplies including magazines, stickers, poster boards, glue sticks and decorative materials
* Printing, décor or other event supplies
* Financial donations toward supplies and programming

Whether you sponsor the event, provide products or services, or make a financial contribution, every donation helps us keep this event completely FREE for the girls attending.

One Heart At A Time Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and we welcome businesses and community partners who want to invest in the next generation of young women.

If you know a young girl ages 16–19 who you think would love to attend, please reach out to me as well.

For sponsorships, donations, or attendance information, please contact 323-313-3420.

It takes a community to remind a young girl: You matter. You belong. You’ve got this. And you are MORE. 💗
