Dear Reader,

I am delighted to introduce you to my FoK Buddy Stephanie Portell BSN, RN.

Steph is an ER nurse with nearly 20 years of frontline experience, including rural obstetrics & trauma response. Her work sits at the edge of clinical precision & embodied intelligence, prioritizing autonomy & safety. She brings a steady, pragmatic perspective grounded in physiology & human thresholds.

Stephanie currently provides rapid response & forensic nursing services in south metro Atlanta.

She's a pistol, & an amazing woman to have in your corner.

Steph & I first connected over 10 years ago when we each had blog posts go semi-viral. Her article was about postpartum care, & mine was a critical look at Planned Parenthood as a beacon of "choice". Since that initial meeting of minds online, we've cultivated an enduring relationship with grit & soul spanning countless phone calls & several irl rendezvous in California, Colorado, & Nebraska.

Y'all have the opportunity to listen to Steph & I discuss practical & radical approaches to monitoring & managing excessive blood loss at next month's FoK Buddy session:
