IS THAT JUST A CATCHY SLOGAN OR A PROPHECY? I vote for option B! Never before have women had so many choices--to have children, a career, or both? Follow your passion or follow the paycheck? Choose your own adventure is rapidly becoming reality for more and more women and it excites me for the future generations that we are now raising.

My daughter is 18 months old right now and I can already see the pluck and drive that is innate within her. She's determined in a way that only a toddler can be. She's smart but also sweet and affectionate. The world hasn't had a chance to toughen her up yet and for that I'm grateful. As she learns and grows, I want to keep working to make sure that she has all the options available to her, both educationally and professionally.

The women that we've showcased in our Movers and Shakers feature are the trailblazers that are making this possible. So many different walks of life are represented--a doctor, a banker, a stay at home mom and foster mom, an artist, and an entire architecture firm founded by women. My daughter has some pretty great role models to look up to and

AROUND TOWN

WESTON FAMILY CLINIC INTRODUCES JULIET Women’s pelvic/vaginal health is one of the most talked about subjects in today’s health care. Their bodies change due to childbirth, menopause, surgical procedures or breast cancer therapies.

It's common for women to suffer from bladder leakage with sneezing, laughing, coughing and exercise as well as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, bleeding and painful intercourse. 50% menopausal and 15% peri menopausal women suffer from vaginal atrophy.

Why don’t women seek help? They think it is just a part of aging, something that they have to live with, are embarrassed to talk about it, and aren’t aware of treatment options.

There haven't been a lot of treatment options until now. The Juliet Laser is a life-changing procedure for vaginal

Improvements are seen after the first treatment, although three treatments, 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

“Women don’t have to suffer in silence anymore” says Dr. Debra C. Keith, a family physician who recently added Juliet Vaginal Rejuvenation to the Weston Family Clinic in Weston, MO.

the staff and individualized care for patients. The certification program was developed in collaboration with the American Stroke Association.

During a stroke, time equals brain cells saved, so every second counts when it comes to receiving treatment. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, and someone dies of a stroke every four minutes. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association.

tion. Horses are my avocation. The farm is a way to get rid of negative vibes from work and enjoy the beauty and artistry of the animals. The farm also brings happiness to lots of kids. Kids are my mission.”

Liberty Farm Equestrian Center hosts events, monthly meetups that celebrate an “equestrian lifestyle,” a fall family fun festival,

and other gatherings. The Center also offers private and semi-private horseback riding lessons for riders at all levels and ages, including beginners, recreational riders, and show ring competitors.

“It’s like family at the farm,” Randles says.

“Once you get the itch to ride and be around horses, you have it for the rest of your life.”

Randles started riding horses when she was two-years-old. Saddlebred horses are a favorite.

“I’ve had horses nearly all of my life,” she says. “When I lived in Boston, I’d make my husband drive me 30 minutes to the country just so I could see horses.”

Tryon's gentle nature translates well to the horses and people that he trains.

Northland Lifestyle | May 2018

A student rider gets comfortable.

“IT’S LIKE FAMILY AT THE FARM,” RANDLES SAYS. “ONCE YOU GET THE ITCH TO RIDE AND BE AROUND HORSES, YOU HAVE IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.” Randles created the equestrian center as a way for the public to learn about and share a love of horses and equestrian culture. Equipped with a round pen, paddock, stalls, and indoor and outdoor areas, the Center schedules horseback riding camp and mini camps for adults and children.

Tryon, an expert horse trainer, works with colts, prospective show horses and finished horses.

With more than 30 years of experience under his belt, Tryon has cross-trained with western horses, Arabian horses, quarter horses, and show horses.

“Jeff came to us from Callaway Hills Stables near Jefferson City,” Randles says. “His philosophy is to train horses from a happy place. Jeff has trained virtually every breed of horse.

Saddlebred horses are his passion. They are social, smart, and high-spirited but safe for children. They’re a unique breed.”

Tryon, who has trained horses in eight states, has worked for and learned from world championship trainers such as Sonny Sutton, Richard Obenauf, and Dena Tanner Lopez.

The public is welcome to attend free monthly meetups at Liberty Farm Equestrian Center, visit with the staff, and meet the horses.

“They can learn about the horses and ride for a few minutes,” Randles says.

The Center’s camps and lessons provide another means of learning about and participating in equestrian culture and a shared love of horses.

Liberty Farm Equestrian Center is also available to rent for events. The Center works with Ben Carrick of Meeting Excellence, who has planned fundraisers, dances, and parties at the farm and facility.

t h e d o c t o r Dr. Ancy Maruthanal, M.D. Maruthanal is better known as Dr. Ancy to her patients and the women that she inspires as the medical director of Club W at North Kansas City Hospital. When she's not working in internal medicine, she enjoys pilates, cooking, running, and traveling with her husband.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU EXCITED EACH MORNING? Gratitude. Each day is truly a gift, and a chance to leave a positive mark in the world. Each morning, I think of 2-3 things for which I am thankful. This helps me start the morning off with energy and motivation to move mountains.

WHAT IS THE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE THAT YOU WOULD GIVE TO YOUR 18-YEAR OLD SELF? Work as hard as you can because being a hard worker will always be in style.

Northland Lifestyle | May 2018

Alisha Bergfalk Alisha Bergfalk has a passion for art and for travel. When she's not teaching pottery classes at the Parkville Artisan's Studio, she's creating art or teaching at home art lessons.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU EXCITED EACH MORNING? I love my job, teaching art lessons is very rewarding to me. I love how each person leaves the lesson with new found faith in their abilities as an artist. I love how art can make people forget about their problems for a

t h e a r t i s t

little while. I love the way that artists interact with each other.

WHAT IS THE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE TO YOUR 18-YEAR OLD SELF? Don't let your fears or doubts stop you in your tracks, dream big. The bigger the dream, the easier it is to put your focus on your goals and not on the fears and doubts.

Tonya Blythe Yes, mother is a full time job, especially if you're Tonya Blythe.

Blythe has two biological children with her husband, as well as four foster children. As she homeschools her biological children and public schools her foster kids, she loves them all, hard and with a sense of humor.

WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU EXCITED EACH MORNING? Honestly, it’s the anticipation of what’s going to excite my kids that day. Today, my 6-year-old was jumping out of his skin thinking about his next baseball game; yesterday, my 9-year-old looked forward to lunch and a movie we’d been planning for some time.

Last week, one of our foster kiddos was counting the days (to anyone who would listen!) until his big 8th birthday. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the busyness of life that I try not to take these moments of excitement and celebration for granted, especially when they mean so much to our kids.
