What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Do you feel broken?

Maybe you’ve been dealing with a bunch of “somewhat embarrassing” issues that make you feel like your body is just not working properly anymore. Urinary tract infections, prolapse, even low libido and other challenges with intimacy, and it’s really discouraging and impacting your quality of life.

Dr. Kelly Casperson is here today! She’s a urologic surgeon and the author “You Are Not Broken” and the host of the podcast called “You Are Not Broken”.

She’s teaching us today all about GSM - or the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause - and more importantly some solutions that really work.

I love her easygoing attitude, she was so easy to chat with and she really shares a lot. You’re going to find this episode really helpful.

In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson discusses the pervasive feeling of 'brokenness' among women regarding their sexual health and pelvic health, emphasizing the importance of education and awareness. She highlights the impact of societal norms on women's sexuality, the significance of pelvic health in midlife, and the often-overlooked condition of Genital Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

Dr. Casperson also addresses recurrent urinary tract infections, the role of hormones in women's health, and the need for accurate information regarding hormonal treatments.

If you’re needing encouragement to seek help and advocate for your health, this is it!
