Rooted in Real Life. Shared with Soul.
This blog began as a space to process and share my journey with PCOS — a condition that shaped so much of my understanding of wellness, womanhood, and resilience. That journey taught me how much power there is in knowing your body, advocating for your wellbeing, and creating rituals that nourish you from the inside out.
Over time, this space has grown — just like I have.
Good Living with Mae is now a place where I explore flavorful, grounded, and soulful living, especially as a woman navigating life after 40. It’s where I share real food, simple pleasures, and thoughtful reflections — while still holding space for the hormonal health conversations that first brought many of us together.
If you’re seeking beauty in the everyday, healing through intentional living, or simply trying to do life a little more slowly, this is for you.
Welcome. You’re in good company here.
