Desperate to see Charlotte smile again, Chloe hearts are full,” says planned a party for her little sister’s Chloe (left), with her 8th birthday. But with only a single little sister, Charlotte RSVP, Chloe didn’t know what to do. That’s when her kind TikTok followers stepped in and saved the day! “I had a great “Encanto is my favorite movie!” Charlotte Joy Adobe Stock; courtesy of Brandy Isbell; courtesy of Chloe Sexton (3); Nichole Park Photography (3) birthday,” says exclaimed when her big sister, Chloe Sexton, Charlotte (right), showed her the Pixar-themed invitations she had with Blake, one picked out for her 8th birthday party. “Mommy and I of her many used to watch it again and again.” new friends “That’s why I chose it,” said Chloe. Handing Charlotte half the stack, she instructed, “Give one of 10 10/10/22 Woman’s World these to everyone in your class.” Chloe then took the rest of the invitations to Charlotte’s old elementary school—the one her little sister had to leave suddenly mid-term. For most of Charlotte’s young life, their mom had been in and out of hospitals with brain cancer. The sur- geries, chemo and radiation left her fragile and too weak to do much more than watch TV with Charlotte. Chloe, 20 years older than Charlotte, has always been like a second mom to her sister. So when they lost their mother last April, Charlotte went to live with Chloe and her husband, Tyler, in nearby Memphis, Tennessee. Though her own heart was shattered, Chloe was deter- mined to help Charlotte heal and give her a happy life. So as Charlotte’s 8th birthday approached, Chloe began planning a big party. It would be Charlotte’s first- ever birthday party. “I can’t wait!” Charlotte bubbled excitedly. Outpouring of love Chloe was thrilled to see Charlotte smiling again, but as the big day neared, her heart was sinking. “Only one of her classmates is coming!” Chloe told Tyler. “I don’t know how to tell her,” she sniffled. Chloe and Tyler run BluffCakes.com, offering wed- ding and other cakes and selling giant cookies online. As part of her marketing, Chloe posts regularly on TikTok with baking instructions and business insights.

Speed-healSLIMMING SUCCESS Dr. Isaacs’ money-saving swaps help turbocharge your ‘metabolism gland’ so you can melt up to 14 lbs this week* Most of us struggle with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, brain fog and thin- ning hair—all telltale signs of a sluggish thyroid. Yet often our thyroid tests are normal or prescription meds do little to help. What gives? For more than 100 million North Americans, the answer is likely “poor liver health,” reveals Emory University endocrinologist Scott Isaacs, M.D. Yep, you read that right. A surprise role of the liver is activating hormones our thyroid pumps out. When the organ is too inflamed or crowded with fat to do the job, “thyroid hormones don’t work effectively no matter how healthy the gland is,” the doc says. Called hepatic hypothyroidism, it’s now 10 times more common than other thyroid issues.
