My new op-ed is out today in The San Bernardino Sun, Riverside Press-Enterprise, and other papers about Senate Bill 1047.
FTD families deserve to be seen, counted, and supported. I wrote this op-ed because awareness alone is not enough. We need systems that recognize the reality families are living every day and help move research, resources, and support forward.
This bipartisan bill, authored by and , would create a registry to track FTD diagnoses in California, just as MS, ALS, Parkinsonâs, and Alzheimerâs are already tracked.
This matters because data creates visibility. Visibility drives research, resources, support, and ultimately progress toward treatments and a cure.
If you live in California, please consider contacting your legislator and urging support for SB 1047. The bill is currently on the Senate Appropriations Committee suspense file, and weâll learn this week whether it moves forward.
Please take a moment to read and share. Visibility matters. đ link in bio

This is a special and meaningful moment I wanted to share with you đ
The made its very first grant to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration â an organization that has meant so much to our family and so many others navigating FTD.
This is just the beginning, and Iâm feeling very energized and hopeful for whatâs ahead. Thank you for being part of this important work. Together, we can move progress forward and help end FTD.
Collaboration as how we move progress forward đ

This started as something very personal.
I remember sitting in a doctorâs office trying to explain how I feltâfoggy, not as sharp, not quite like myself and being dismissed with, âitâs just stress,â âjust hormones,â âjust mommy brain.â
But I knew there had to be more. So I got curious and learned there are ways we can support our brain health starting today.
Thatâs what led me, alongside my dear friend and co-founder , to create Make Time Wellness.
Because women deserve more. More conversation. More support. More understanding around our brain health.
Now you can find our third-party tested, science-backed formulas from Make Time Wellness in select Target stores and on Target.com, making this support more accessible to more women.

Standing in our nationâs capital this week felt exciting and deeply personal.
Since becoming an FTD and caregiver advocate, Iâve always dreamed of bringing this work to Washington, to help ensure that families like yours and mine are seen, heard, and supported at the highest level.
I was honored to join the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their first-ever Capitol Hill briefing, bringing together caregivers, researchers, lawmakers, and those living with FTD to shine a light on a disease that is still too often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked.
FTD is non-partisan. It doesnât care if youâre a Republican or a Democrat. It walks into homes across America every day, without warning or mercy. The systems families are told to rely on just arenât built for this disease.
Iâm grateful to the members of Congress who are showing up, listening, and working toward real change. We must continue to push for greater awareness, stronger caregiver support, and sustained federal investment in research, because what I witnessed in DC is that progress is possible, and families cannot do this alone.
