THE MONTHLY PAGE 👩🏻💻 June 2024
Tech wallpapers, calendars, + resources to help you focus for the month ahead.
Welcome to The Monthly Page for June 2024! I'm currently enjoying a few days in Germany with my Mom and little sister (who is living there, near Frankfurt!) but, as always, I am happy to deliver you some helpful resources for the month ahead.
June just so happens to be my favorite month — The weather! The blossoms! Summer solstice! Danish strawberry season! AND, it is also my middle name (although I was born in November 😉).
Here are some important dates (mostly U.S.-centric) you might want to add to your calendar while you’re here:
🏳🌈 June is Pride Month (in the US)
🌊 June 8: World Oceans Day
👨👩👦 June 16: Father’s Day
☀ June 20: The Summer Solstice
🧘🏻♀️ June 21: International Yoga Day
🤳🏻 June 22: Selfie Day
Cheers to the best month.

🎤 GUEST SPEAKER: Did you know perimenopause can start as early as your late-30s and that there are THIRTY FOUR recognized symptoms associated with it? Wheeew! It’s hard to believe that so many of us know so little about something that could occupy nearly a DECADE OF OUR LIVES.
Join me for a conversation with Dr. Charlsie Celestine to discuss hormones, perimenopause, menopause, and the impact all those fluctuations have on our focus and productivity. We’ll also share the practical steps you can take right now to start supporting yourself through these changes and you can download a helpful Perimenopause Symptom Tracker:

Thanks for all these great resources 🙏🏻 hope Germany is a blast!
I am a Sci Fi/Fantasy person, and I read the last books of two amazing series this month — Lightbringer from Red Rising and Assassin’s Fate (the 9th book in the Assassin’s Apprentice series, which is 3 successive trilogies which together are probably my favorite series of all time?!). I also really enjoyed the Three Body Problem on Netflix.
