The Importance of an ACL Injury Prevention Program

April 26, 2022 By Nedra McDaniel Leave a Comment

As an Adventure Mom, it’s no surprise that my family enjoys participating in sports.

Both of my boys have played multiple sports since elementary school. Like every other parent in the stands, the risk of an injury is always a concern in the back of my mind.

Thankfully we’ve been lucky to avoid that fate, so far.

However, over the years, I have witnessed a variety of injuries – some minor and others season-ending.

Why a Power Lunch is the Best Way to Face Your Mammogram Fears

October 11, 2018 By Nedra McDaniel Leave a Comment

Why a Power Lunch is the Best Way to Face Your Mammogram Fears

If you have someone in your family with a history of cancer you probably fall into one of two camps, you are either super proactive when it comes to all things medical…….or you prefer to keep your head in the sand like me. I honestly didn’t want to know and I was content to not know.

My mom detected breast cancer late at age 51 (she hated going to the doctor) and she passed away at age 57 (after a period of remission when more cancer came back and spread to other parts of her body)……you would think that would make me proactive……but instead it’s made me afraid of the unknown because I’ve had a front row seat to how devastating cancer can be.

You would logically think that this should make me even more proactive, but watching her suffer had an opposite effect on me. As I approached 40, friends and family became more and more vocal about their concerns of my thought process out of their love for me… and through the support of friends, I finally faced my fear of my first mammogram at a Power Lunch.
